TLC is a strategic initiative in response to the growing demands for top quality management education in China and the associated teaching improvement needs of our members. TLC seeks to engage our members on the theory and practice of teaching, bridge the gap between teaching and research, and support their development as first class teachers and educators. After the success of TLC 2016 which was well received by many young faculty and senior doctoral students, we organize TLC again this year to meet the demands from young faculty. The ultimate goal of TLC is to position IACMR as a leader in Chinese management education in addition to its current leadership role in Chinese management research.

The TLC Conference will be held in conjunction with the IACMR Biennial Meeting. The three concurrent workshops will be held in the Economics and Management School of Wuhan University. TLC takes place prior to the refereed scholarly program, in the afternoon of Wednesday, June 13, 2018.
