SECOND PHASE: Considering that a number of authors are still improving theirs abstracts and
papers to be delivered at the EGGPEL Congress, the Coordination Committee has decided to
extend the deadline to receive those documents, as follows: 15th December 2011 (for
abstracts) and 29th February 2012 (for papers). Additionally, some adjustments have been
made to the Guidelines, trying to expedite the International Scientific Commission response
concerning the acceptance of texts to the Congress, and also regarding a further reduction in
participation costs for the authors of accepted communications. The following text already
includes these changes.
The first edition of the Congress on the Estates-General of Management in Latin Speaking Countries
(EGMLSC) will take place in Lisbon, on the 22nd, 23rd and 24th March, 2012.
1. What is the Congress (EGMLSC)?
EGMLSC is a congress that intends to gather the largest possible number of entities and opinion
streams with substantive relevance in the field of organizations’ management, not only in Portugal
and Portuguese speaking countries but also in those countries of Latin expression in Europe, Africa,
America and Asia.
The overall objective of each edition of the Estates-General of Management in Latin Speaking
Countries (EGMLSC) is to evaluate the progress that has been achieved through the ideas and
management practices, both within universities and investigation centres, and in companies,
associations, NGO’s and public institutions. It is desired, namely, to establish a forum for debate and
show-casing and exchange of ideas regarding innovative experiences in management arising in the
Latin speaking countries, with an emphasis in their common cultural and institutional Latin roots.
Every contribution from science and management experiences for social and economic
development are in the scope of the EGMLSC. However, it is important to underline 3 criteria, which
can be useful in the definition of priority contents in those debates:
(a) themes related to the influence of Latin cultural roots in organizations’ management
practices, at a private, public and associative level, will receive high priority.
(b) the contribution of a new generation of entrepreneurs in the field of fight against poverty
because of the urgency for human development in the countries involved, will always be a
strong theme in the EGMLSC congress;

(c) finally, international cooperation policies at the R&DT level, as well as training policies in
the fields of Management and Entrepreneurship will also be a priority, especially if those
policies aim to strengthen the role of the Latin space as a common platform between Europe,
Africa and the Americas.
