Topics & Tracks

The leading theme of the Conference is ‘Creating and Delivering Value’. However, the focus of the Conference is intended to foster interdisciplinary work. We invite empirical and theoretical papers, including, but not limited to the following topics:

  • Marketing,
  • Logistics
  • Strategy,
  • Management,
  • Accounting and Finance,
  • Economics Issues,
  • Tourism, Hospitality and Events,
  • Fashion,
  • Consumer Behaviour,
  • Culture and Consumption Innovation,
  • Technology,
  • Leadership, Governance and HRM.

The traditional view of marketing implies that a company first produces a product and then attempts to sell it. This model may not be enough for the challenges of today’s marketplace. According to Peter Drucker, who is considered to be the founder of modern management thought, only marketing and innovations create value, the rest being merely the cost. Though this claim is debatable, marketing is perceived nowadays as one of the factors of value creation. Marketing not only creates value for all participants in the market, it also offers a company ways to capture more of the generated value.
