Bagaimana Untuk Memilih Persidangan Akademik Yang Berkualiti

Gambar sekadar hiasan..hehe

Sebagai seorang pelajar pasca siswazah, tidak kira sama ada peringkat Sarjana atau Kedoktoran, kita sentiasa di dalam dilema memilih persidangan yang ingin disertai. Disini saya ingin berkongsi tips yang serba sedikit dapat membantu kita dalam memilih persidangan yang berkualiti disebabkan kekangan sebagai pelajar seperti masa, kewangan dan juga pengalaman.

1. Target the numbers: (Going to 4 to 6 conferences is already more than enough; di sini maksudnya bukan bilangan persidangan yang dikira, tetapi kualiti persidangan tersebut yang dipandang, contohnya, Persidangan Antarabangsa yang dianjurkan oleh pihak Universiti).
2. Submit to Annual Conference: (Apabila kita sudah target bilangan persidangan yang ingin disertai, kita perlu memilih persidangan yang dianjurkan secara annually bukannya eventual conference. Ini kerana, annually conference lebih established jika dibandingkan dengan eventual conference, contohnya, Asia-Pacific Management Conference, Asian Academy of Management Conference).
3. Hosted by University
4. Back-up by Good Journal: boleh rujuk disini, http://scholarlyoa.com/individual-journals/ 
5. Have best paper award
6. Value for money
7. Closing Remarks

Persidangan ICIDSC 2014

INTRODUCTION

Innovation is becoming increasingly critical for the future of the Supply Chain Industries. The International Conference in Innovation Driven Supply Chain addresses this fundamental issue as being mission critical in today’s fast moving business environment. Given this theme, the conference is purposefully designed to bring both Academicians and Practitioners to explore the phenomenon of innovation that drives Supply Chain activities. The conference is expected to generate insights, tacit knowledge, skills and capabilities for the people in the supply chain industry to create and deliver new and innovative solutions to many of the corporate challenges confronting businesses operating in different segments or industries to make real improvements in their business to stay competitive in the marketplace.

The conference theme, “Innovation Driven Supply Chain: Making a Difference”, draws attention to under-examined issues, rarely heard voices, and under-represented scholarly perspectives in Supply Chain Innovation. While open to all of your best work, this international conference seeks to encourage symposia and paper offerings that build bridges by:

• Increasing participation from management that has played an important role in the innovation of Supply Chain.
• Interdisciplinary papers with a focus on multiple levels of analysis are eagerly sought.
• Papers and symposia that include academic scholars and industry professionals coming from diverse locations and backgrounds are particularly encouraged, as the best way to foster cross-border dialogue is to include individuals from a range of backgrounds.

As literature of Supply Chain is increasingly growing, tremendous opportunities are available for achieving strategic competitiveness through strategic innovations in all areas of supply chain. Understanding and absorbing the innovative practices is best done through dialogue. To the extent possible, this conference will emphasize interactive sessions, where the audience has more than a passive role to play and where the presenters seek to build on each other's contributions. The conference committee fosters open dialogue and forum among and across the traditional functional areas of business and innovation centered supply-chain management.

OBJECTIVES:

• To create and deliver new and innovative state -of -the -art solutions to challenges faced by Supply Chain academicians and industry practitioners.
• To develop outstanding Supply Chain players with the necessary resources and innovative approaches  to complement the substantial investment in this industry

• To present a stage for debate and dissemination of research findings emerging in the fields of supply chain innovation and other inter-related fields.
• To offer avenue for discussing contemporary trends, issues and challenges in supply chain research and decision-making.
