Conference Theme 2024: Digitalization & Artificial Intelligence: Catalyst or Barrier to Innovation?

In the context of the big changes we have been witnessing due to ChatGPT (and not only), the question that arises is whether the (apparently) unavoidable path to digitalization in all kind of organizations, with the possible use of artificial intelligence for the most diverse roles, is a catalyst or a barrier to innovation.

Time will tell, as we all say. But what says the science?

Conference Theme 2023: A Resilient New World: How To Remain Competitive in Unstable Markets?

Resilience has been studied well before the pandemics, yet it was in the last years, with the accumulated impact of different crises, that companies, governments and individuals got more aware about its importance.

The concept of resilience is multifaceted, encompassing the capacity to maintain core activities in a highly turbulent and changing environment, the capacity to change and adapt (related to dynamic capabilities) to the new conditions, but also to resist the new conditions and to recover (Iftikhar, Purvis & Giannoccaro, 2021).

At ICIEMC 2023, we welcome scientific contributions related to resilience and its link to performance, coping and recovery strategies, applied to any industry or service area and we value specific contributions linked to business, innovation and marketing strategies .
