CHIMSPAS 2021

We invite conceptual, empirical, and analytical works from a variety of management fields such as innovation and technology management, service management, marketing, human resources, entrepreneurship, as well as colleagues from engineering and practitioners.

Conference contributions need to be related to challenges in managing smart products and services, which might arise in diverse fields such as those listed in the following:

• Business Information Systems Engineering (e.g., establishing smart service platforms)
• Entrepreneurship (e.g., collaboration with startups in developing smart products)
• Human Resource Management (e.g., new skills required, new working styles or cultural norms)
• Innovation and Technology Management (e.g., barriers to smart product adoption and diffusion, acquisition of required technologies)
• Logistics (e.g., continuous tracking of products w.r.t. location, current condition, environment)
• Marketing (e.g., finer customer segmentation, novel pricing strategies)
• Organization (e.g., new organizational structures to coordinate units more closely)
• Production (e.g., predictive analytics enabling service innovation in manufacturing, industry 4.0)
• Services Management (e.g., smart service systems, smart transformative services)
• Strategic Management (e.g., new business model, importance of data, open or closed system)

Both completed research and work in progress will be considered. Please find more detailed information in the full Call-for-Abstracts.
