Reaching and Serving Global Markets and Consumers. Managing Global Organizational Processes. National Competitiveness in an Internet World. We are interested in both conceptual papers and empirical work. Given the recent emergence of this topic, papers that develop conceptual frameworks are encouraged.
Case studies are also appropriate if they contribute to theory development.
Abstracts should be limited to 1000 words and should include a clear description of the topic and how the authors propose to address the topic in the completed paper. Evidence should be presented to show that the proposal is feasible and that the paper can be completed by March 31, 2000. Authors of accepted abstracts will be invited to the conference in May, subject to timely completion of their final paper, with registration, room and board and travel expenses covered by the conference organizers. The conference organizers will review all papers, and all authors of submitted papers will be invited to participate in the conference, although not all papers will be selected for presentation at the conference. Final submissions will be double-blind reviewed in accordance with JIBS's normal review process and criteria.
