Tagung
 		Matthias Rosenberger veranstaltet vom 24.-26. November 2006 an der TU Chemnitz eine Tagung über Anwendungen der Personal Construct-Psychologie im Kontext von Organisation und Management. Die Konferenz findet in englischer Sprache statt. Die Homepage der Konferenz findet sich unter dieser Adresse: http://www.tu-chemnitz.de/wirtschaft/bwl5/pcpbc/index.php
Im "Call for Contributions" schreibt M. Rosenberger u. a.:

Kelly`s theory, its methods and their derivatives possess a privileged position in the international scientific discourse. The PCP Community is characterised in particular by the fact that very different topics are treated in more or less independent circles. They are focussed on primarily theoretical and methodical challenges of individual clinical diagnostics and related areas. Today, four conferences are the platforms for information exchange and social networking:: European Personal Construct Association (EPCA), Australasian Conference on Personal Construct Psychology (APCG), Biennial Conference of the (North American) Constructivist Psychology Network (CPN) and the International Congress on Personal Construct Psychology. Meanwhile questions and solutions are presented, which use Kelly's theory and/or Repertory Grid methods in other application fields, for instance the PCP in Arts with an own discussion platform: (http://www.arts-con.net/main.html).
Unfortunately such a platform for the exchange of interested scientists in the organizational context does not exist. Still we believe that there is a sufficiently large subgroup within the PCP Community, which would be happy to discuss possibilities and limits of the usability of Kelly's theory and method in this field with other colleagues. Questions (Requirements) we actually see are:
  • Which fields of application are obvious (e.g. Organizational Development, HR Development, Marketing, Coaching, Project Evaluation)?
  • Which advantages has the Grid in opposite to other methods in Organizational research?
  • What kind of arguments exists or can be formulated to advance the Grid in progress?
  • (In)Possibilities of Multi-Grid-Analysis (methodology, statistic, mathematics)
We want to start an international discourse with its own social arena for questions about validating of Repertory Grid methods and Personal Construct Theory in organizations and management. One particularly important topic is the Multi-Grid-analysis and how to apply it on groups, departments or whole organizations.
The Chemnitzer conference "Requirements and Solutions for PCP in the Organizational and Managerial Context" offers an open space to scientists and practitioners in order to face the challenges of PCP in the organizational context. Therefore, the conference will offer two tracks:
  1. Science forum "Business Application from PCP":, a platform exclusively focussed on opportunities and limits of PCP in the context of management and organization
  2. User forum "Practical Challenges to PCP": a platform for discussion on the application possibilities of PCP in organisation and management context.
We are looking forward to receiving interesting papers.
