Sustaining and energizing in the IMP spirit entails drawing on previous endeavors to drive the development of a sustainable future with a special focus on research on business-to-business markets, business networks, interaction and business relationships to create a sustainable economy within planetary boundaries. While we especially welcome submissions within this theme, the conference is open also for general papers dealing with IMP issues, business networks and interaction in general.

The Doctoral Colloquium will take place from August 31 to September 1, 2020.

New for next year’s Colloquium in Örebro is that the reduced fee paid by PhD students also allows them to submit a paper for presentation at the main conference, giving you the added opportunity of additional feedback from conference attendees.

Paper Acceptance Notification: May 2, 2020
