Innovation in E-Business & E-Government
The aim of the workshop
The aim of the workshop is to provide a platform for doctoral students and early career researchers to present their work, receive constructive feedback from experienced academics, and to network with fellow research colleagues. Each participant will present his/her research and engage in in-depth discussion with the facilitators as well as fellow colleagues focusing on participant research related issues in Innovation in E-Business & E-Government. In addition, keynote speeches will provide up-to-date perspectives on research, focussing on all stages of the research process including theory development, relevant methodologies and a number of career-related topics. A business keynote speaker will provide an analysis of the impact of e-business development on the customer and the company.
There is no fee to attend the event, but registration is required.
The Society for the Advancement of Management Studies has kindly made a number of travel bursaries available, while the Glasgow School for Business and Society will also sponsor and host the workshop.
