UKAIS & British Academy of Management E-business and E-government SIG
Salford Business School, University of Salford - 1/2 Dec 2016
The aim of the workshop
In collaboration with BAM and UKAIS, the Centre for Digital Business at Salford Business School welcomes doctoral candidates & early career scholars to share their research on the theme of "what are the consequences of disruptive technologies on business and society". The key philosophy behind our workshop theme is to provide a supportive and friendly environment for established BAM and IS scholars to network and to invite early career scholars of the E-Business and E-Government community to contribute their voices on how research on digital business delivers both societal and academic impact.
This workshop opens the series, by bridging together the participants of all previous workshops and new participants in a 2 half day that has 4 objectives:
- Encourage participants to present their research and get an informative feedback from audiences and the session chair.
- To provide a supportive environment so that participants can be reflective on their progress, contribution, or potential publications.
- Offer an opportunity for social and face to face networking and build new connections with fellow participants.
- To build and reinforce partnerships across the academic community for members of the BAM E-Business and E-Government SIG and UKAIS, and also to demonstrate how digital business underpins the different Industry Collaboration Zones with The University of Salford.
