| FINAL CALL for POSTERS, DOCTORAL EVENTS, and PDWs – Submission deadline: (this) Friday, 1st September 2017 – INTRODUCTION & BACKGROUND With the emergence of the information and communication age, the associated changes in the character of international business activity have been profound. Some of the features that characterize the new age include organizational decentralization, vertical disintegration and specialization, modularity, flexibility, accelerated knowledge creation, exchange and diffusion, increased technological complexity, inter-organizational collaboration and openness, various kinds of networks and new manufacturing technologies. Institutional settings have also evolved alongside the new wave of technological innovation, leading to changes across countries in the mechanisms responsible for cross-country standardization, intellectual property rights, and regulatory requirements. The EIBA 2017 Milan conference is dedicated to exploring the new opportunities and challenges that these changes in the international economic, technological, and social environment are creating for actors such as established MNEs, SMEs, international new ventures, and global start-ups, as well as for developing countries. CONFERENCE TRACKS We invite competitive and interactive papers, posters as well as panel proposals on any of the EIBA 2017 conference tracks listed below (detailed description of the tracks can be found in the EIBA 2017 Conference Tracks Description page).
