Conference
Theme:

DEADLINE: March 1st, 2013
The Global Innovation and Knowledge Academy (GIKA) Annual Conference
provides a platform to discuss challenges pertaining to contemporary
issues in Innovation and Knowledge. The 2nd GIKA Annual Conference
will be held in the University of Valencia and the Polytechnic
University of Valencia, Spain, from July 9th (Tuesday) to July 11th
(Thursday), 2013. The Journal of Business Research (JBR) is the
sponsorship journal for the Academy. One of the aims of the
Conference is to select high quality papers from the conference to
publish in a special issue of the JBR.
Special session “Meet the editor”. In addition to the regular paper
presentation, GIKA proudly presents "to meet the editor" session. The
editor-in-chief of JBR, Professor Arch. G. Woodside will have a face-
to-face session with the participants. In this session, Arch will
explain JBR’s mission, editorial process, recent submission trends
etc. The objective of the session is to help prospective authors
understand what it takes to get published in JBR, and why papers get
rejected. Participants will have an opportunity to interact with
Arch.
