5 th GIKA Conference in 2015: GIKA Europe/Atlantic, and the Journal of Business Research. TWO SPECIAL ISSUES IN JBR.
CALL FOR PAPERS NOW OPEN
The Conference of the Global Innovation and Knowledge Academy (GIKA): "New Knowledge Impacts on Designing Implementable Innovative Realities" will be held in Valencia (Spain). The Journal of Business Research (JBR) will participate in this 5th GIKA Conference. The Conference will take place from July 13th (Monday) to July 16th (Thursday), 2015.
The theme of GIKA 2015 is New Knowledge Impacts on Designing Implementable Innovative Realities , hosting special issues on:
- New Knowledge Impacts on Designing Implementable Innovative Realities (open topic to provide a platform to discuss the challenges pertaining to contemporary issues in multidisciplinary research in the development of theoretical and practice knowledge of business, management and economy).
- Qualitative Comparative Analysis, Crisp and Fuzzy Set, in Business and Management (exclusively on the research methods).
For this 5th GIKA Conference, it is possible to organize symposiums in Arabic, French, German, Italian, Mandarin, Polish, Portuguese, Spanish, Russian, Turkish etc. These symposiums will be presided by a native speaker of these languages who will recruit a collection of papers to be presented in these symposiums. This is an innovative issue for GIKA Conferences. We think that speakers should be allowed to be as comfortable as possible in presenting papers. Audience members will able to understand the papers sufficiently via the English-language slides. Presenters may wish to handout a 2-5 page single-space summary of their papers in English in their symposium--if so, they should consider hand-carrying between 30 to 50 copies of the summary to the conference to do so. Requirements:
1) Full papers will be sent to the organization in English (deadline February 28th, 2015). President of these symposiums should send the collection of papers in, only, one email.
2) All PPT slides, used in the presentations, should be prepared in English (it is valid only English).
We are announcing the fifth GIKA Conference. Feedback and Q&A sessions, including suggestions from editors of international journals attending the Conference, helped the authors publish their papers. Each edition of the GIKA Conference offers the chance to publish in the JBR with a special issue edition containing the best papers from the Conference. In GIKA 2015 we are honored to announce that there are TWO SPECIAL ISSUES of JBR to publish best papers in 2016. In addition to paper presentation sessions, paper symposiums, and plenary speech sessions by top international scholars, the Conference provides new programs , including a pre-conference research methodology workshop (by Professor Arch Woodside), a keynote speech and a meet-the-editor session on how to publish in the Journal of Business Research ( by the JBR editor, Arch Woodside) . Meanwhile, the Conference also welcome teaching case studies and research case studies.
