Practice track
Practice track (i.e. Industry and business track)
We seek to establish bridges of collaboration between academic researchers and practitioners, particularly considering business innovations, transformations and business strategies for the future. Practice based perspective on economic and business trends that will shape the organizations and societies of the future can uncover novel research avenues for academic researchers. We thus invite researchers and practitioners to submit practice papers that address issues around business and technology trends, general economic trends and provide new insights on practice-based strategies, challenges or success-stories. This track also seeks papers relating to any topic that does not fall within the scope of the other tracks.
