CFP ECMI-AMA-EMAC Invitational Symposium on Marketing and Innovation

CALL FOR PAPERS: MARKETING AND INNOVATION

The ECMI-AMA-EMAC Invitational Symposium on Marketing and Innovation

(Inaugural bi-annual joint Symposium of EMAC and AMA)

Special Issue of International Journal of Research in Marketing

Conference Co-Chairs and Special Issue Co-Editors

Gui Liberali (Erasmus School of Economics), Stefan Stremersch (Erasmus School of Economics and IESE Business School), Roland Rust (University of Maryland& Erasmus School of Economics), Eitan Muller (IDC and NYU)

Submission Deadline: September 10, 2013

The Erasmus Center for Marketing and Innovation (ECMI), The American Marketing Association (AMA), and the European Marketing Academy (EMAC) are proud to announce the invitational Symposium on Marketing and Innovation, from May 28 to 30, 2014, at the Erasmus School of Economics, Erasmus University Rotterdam.

This symposium is the inaugural edition of a bi-annual symposium series organized jointly by the American Marketing Association (AMA) and the European Marketing Academy (EMAC). A special issue of the International Journal of Research in Marketing (IJRM), EMAC’s flagship journal, will complement the symposium. AMA will distribute the content to its practitioner audience through diverse media. This event is positioned as absolutely first rate: it will draw a pool of hand-selected C-level practitioners and top-level academics in marketing and innovation. The plenary and concurrent sessions will feature thought leaders from both academia and industry, selected from all submissions received. We aim for 150 participants, equally distributed among practitioners and academics. The best papers and contributions can be offered for publication to IJRM, following IJRM’s normal review procedure, to appear in a special issue on Marketing and Innovation.

We invite innovative and groundbreaking contributions that address issues related to the fields of marketing and innovation, and their intersection. More specifically, we are looking for a mix of contributions in three different areas: (1) the generation of innovations, (2) the study of market feasibility for innovations, and (3) go-to-market strategies for innovations. The focus of the contributions can be: (1) conceptual, (2) methodological, or (3) interesting findings. We aim for a mix of different types of contribution, so we are very open to a very diverse submission flow: ranging from consumer behavior, to strategy, to modeling. Therefore, we are inviting scholars from such diverse fields as marketing, innovation, econometrics, operations research, consumer behavior, empirical industrial organization, and behavioral economics to submit papers with substantial implications for firms and public policy.

Submissions for the conference are due September 10, 2013. The chosen contributions will be placed on the conference agenda. Authors will be notified of acceptance of their submissions by November1st, 2013. For the conference, authors can either submit full papers or extended abstracts (4-5 pages).

Papers and/or abstracts should be sent by email (pdf file only) to .

To be considered for the special issue of IJRM, a completed version of the paper is due January 10, 2014, or preferably before (we will start to process papers when we receive them as of February 1, 2013). The IJRM review process will feature a maximum of two rounds. Papers will be published in 2015 Issue #3 of the journal. Papers are to be submitted through the IJRM submission website (EES) at http://ees.elsevier.com/ijrm , with an indication that it is a submission for the special issue (Article Type: “SI: Marketing & Innovation”). Given the limited time-window for revising papers, the editors’ aim is to make a decision in the first round; if not, definitely in the second round. It is therefore very important that submissions are as polished as possible.

We allow authors to submit to and present at the symposium, without a commitment to publish their work in IJRM. We allow authors to submit their work to the IJRM special issue, without presenting it at the symposium, however the lead article in the IJRM special issue will be a paper that has been presented at the symposium. The author team of the best paper, as assessed by a jury, that will both be published in IJRM and presented at the symposium will win a contribution of US$5,000 to their future research.

Please direct inquiries about the symposium or paper submission to:

CFP Macromarketing Conference

Posted on by

Submissions of papers should be sent no later than Thursday, January 31, 2013.

38th Annual Macromarketing Conference on “Macromarketing in the Age of Neoliberalism: What is to be done?”, Schulich School of Business, York University, Toronto, Canada, June 4- 7, 2013

Macromarketers study the cultural, social and political logic of markets and market systems, among other things. So, what then is the role and purpose of macromarketing in times of perpetual economic emergency, recognized even by respected cheerleaders of liberal market capitalism such as the Wall Street Journal and the Harvard Business Review as a crisis of capitalism? As we live in and study a system that produces increasing economic inequality, environmental degradation, new forms of apartheid, the celebration of Apple and the cruelty of Foxconn, new ethical obligations arise; an ethics that perhaps begins with recognizing that slave labor, trafficking of humans and human organs, the incarceration of millions, mass pauperization, and the violence drug and oil wars are not deplorable aberrations of the global capitalist system but are, in fact, constituent of its totality. Yet, the imperative or obligation of such an ethics is not at all clear. If we consider it our duty to study the linkages between the practices of individuals and organizations as actors in markets on the one hand and market processes as an overall coordination mechanism on the other, all we can say is that simply doing our duty as students of marketing systems may no longer do; we must also figure out the substance of our duty.

The conference will therefore focus on the following fields (see detailed track information below):

  • Servants, servitude and the philosophy of service
  • Humanistic Marketing
  • The Violence of Marketing Systems
  • Market Logic(s) and the (Re)production of Precariousness
  • Marketing and psychoanalysis
  • Markets and individualization, insecuritization and depoliticization
  • Marketing Arts culture
  • Marketing systems and corporate dealings (business-to-business markets)
  • The History of Markets and Macromarketing
  • The nature of relationships in market processes
  • Exploring the Performativity of Marketing: theories, practices and devices
  • Market making and marketing in emergent economies / developing countries
  • Markets, ethics, and CSR
  • Marketing systems in the market for political influence
  • Sustainable business models
  • Beyond that papers in all established macromarketing fields of study (e.g., Globalization, Innovation, Consumption Culture, Quality of Life, Poverty, and so on) are invited and can be sent directly to Detlev Zwick at .

CFP INBAM 2013 Conference and Service Business An International Journal – New Collaborative Paradigms in Services

Posted on by

INBAM 2013 Conference and Service Business An International Journal – New Collaborative Paradigms in Services

Call for Papers:

Guest editors: Rodolfo Baggio (Bocconi University) and Sofia Reino (CIC Research Institute)

The deadline for submissions to the special issue is December 15, 2012

The business world has begun to realize the value of collaborative decision?making and innovation through joint effort. The entrepreneur is no longer merely a lone pioneer striding out into the unknown accompanied by nothing more than guile and know?how, but can form an integral part of a team within a larger structure. Growth, profitability and sources of new wealth can be outcomes of corporate entrepreneurship, along with competitive capability and strategic repositioning.

Innovative products or services are no longer merely the ideas of one ingenious scientist or designer but can be the result of the collective intelligence of many. At a firm level, innovation can occur not only in an outward direction but also inward both on a business to business level and on a business to customer level. Open innovation has been a collaborative means of survival for firms, particularly in hi?tech businesses, both in terms of sharing resources and patents and in terms of finding new sources for innovative ideas. Another step forward is the phenomenon of crowdsourcing; where firms offer up a problem to be solved by individuals or groups outside the firm. Open innovation as crowdsourcing is not without its problems and critics and this special issue aims to examine such aspects as part of this collaborative paradigm. As information becomes more readily available to the general public, open data and cloud computing are empowering people to shape their surroundings and gain greater access to information. Hi?tech service firms are putting the renewed interest in data sharing to good use and the appearance of so?called smart cities, where the most useful information is shared by a city’s inhabitants and visitors.

Service Business: An International Journal invites potential authors to present their research on topics related to this area for submission at the INBAM 2013 Conference to be held in Lisbon 2013 from June 17th to June 19th 2012.

Topics may include, but are not limited to:

  • Collaborative paradigms in service industries from a general perspective
  • Developments in open innovation and co?innovation
  • Crowdsourcing; evolution, concerns and future trends
  • Collective decision?making in services by public and private enterprise
  • The evolution of cloud computing and cloud computing services
  • Open data and the advancement of smart cities
  • Corporate entrepreneurship and entrepreneurial teams in service firms

CFP Conference Social Business is Good Business

Social Business is Good Business

An International Conference to be held at Anadolu University, Turkey, 30 – 31 May 2013

Call for Papers

Few, if any, would argue with the proposition that ‘social business is good business’. However, if asked, it is likely that there would be a wide variation in the interpretation given to the statement by different people. For some, ‘social business’ would be seen as involving the establishment of small enterprises funded by microfinance along the lines advocated by Nobel Laureate Muhammad Yunus while, for others it would mean the adoption of a programme of corporate social responsibility by major profit making corporations committed to paying dividends to their shareholders. And, for others still, it would imply a concern for climate change and environmental degradation and a need for the adoption of a sustainable life style. Or, alternatively, a massive market opportunity to deliver an acceptable standard of living to the world’s poor at the bottom of the pyramid.

Evidently, the notion of ‘social business’ embraces a wide range of subjects including: corporate social responsibility, education, entrepreneurship, environmentalism and climate change, foreign aid and investment – ‘Trade versus Aid?’, globalisation, innovation – social and technological, micro-credit and microfinance, sustainability, transformational marketing, including green marketing, marketing for NPOs and social marketing, volunteer and charitable organisations, and well-being.

The purpose of the conference, sponsored by Anadolu University in collaboration with the journal Social Business, is to bring together academics, policy makers and practitioners to explore these different interpretations with a view to achieving their shared objective of improving human welfare and the quality of life. Informed by Keynote addresses on the nature of social business, transformational marketing, sustainability, and capitalism and the market economy, the conference seeks to attract contributions that will explain and clarify the many different approaches being taken and proposed, as well as documenting implementation and outcomes through case studies and other empirical evidence.

Accordingly, the Conference aims to show case current thinking and research with a view to developing a research agenda for the future.

All papers will be required to show how they contribute to the overall aim of social business – the elimination of poverty and enhancement of human welfare – and may be either conceptually based, where the researcher(s) identify an issue and seek to clarify it through the implementation of a study designed specifically for the purpose, or Action-based research that describes and diagnoses problems or issues associated with the major themes cited earlier, the actions taken to address them and the resulting outcomes.

Competitive Papers must be original and a maximum of 5 pages (single-spaced) excluding abstract, appendices and references. (Papers may contain tables and figures) and Working Papers must be a maximum of 3 pages (single-spaced) excluding abstract, appendices and references. (Papers may contain tables and figures). Full guidelines may be found at the website http://www.westburn-publishers.com/social-business/social-business-conference.html

Submissions should be made by email in accordance with these guidelines not later than 1 December 2012 by email to [email protected].

More details on programme, registration and accommodation are available on the conference website at http://sbau.anadolu.edu.tr/

(Note that this conference will take place immediately before the EMAC 2013 Annual Conference to be held in Istanbul the following week).
