Welcome!

On behalf of the University of Otago School of Business, I take great pleasure in inviting you to the 37th Annual PIM Conference in Dunedin, New Zealand, 10-12 November 2010.

The annual PIM conference provides us with the opportunity to meet again, share ideas and insights, and foster further international cooperation and collaboration.The theme of the 2010 conference “Global Collaboration toward Sustainability and Climate Change” is especially fitting for New Zealand. Living on a small collection of islands in the South Pacific, with an economy heavily reliant on the natural environment, the issue of environmental responsibility is very close to the hearts and livelihoods of New Zealanders.

I invite you to explore this website, learn a little about Dunedin and New Zealand, and begin planning your trip. Consider taking the opportunity to turn your conference trip into a vacation.

I look forward to welcoming you to Dunedin in November 2010.

Professor George Benwell
Dean, School of Business
