Author identification, including mailing address and telephone number, should appear only on the cover page and refrain from identifying themselves elsewhere in the paper.

Publications: The final version of the papers that were selected and presented must be sent by April 25, 2005 , in order to be published in the 2005 SAM Conference Proceedings and be considered for publication in the SAM Advanced Management Journal or Management In Practice.
