CFP: Young Scholars in Public International Law (AjV) and the German Society of International Law (German Society for International Law – DGIR)

About CFP

The Working Group of Young Scholars in Public International Law (AjV) and the German Society of International Law (German Society for International Law – DGIR) invite contributions to their joint conference titled “Jurisdiction: Who speaks international law?

About the Journal:

Jurisdiction endows an actor with the authority to provide binding answers to legal questions. Etymological observations reveal that an analysis of legal validity necessarily requires grasping the notion of jurisdiction. After all, the Latin roots of the term ‘jurisdiction’ – juris dicere – can be translated as ‘speaking the law’. In international law, the notion of jurisdiction serves to delimit international and domestic spheres of competence. Traditionally tied to territorial sovereignty, jurisdiction refers to the legislative, judicial, and executive power of the state bindingly to determine who speaks in the name of the law – and about whom is (merely) spoken. Against this backdrop, the link between jurisdiction and territorial sovereignty needs to be re-examined.

Several questions arise regarding the theoretical and historical underpinnings of the notion of jurisdiction: Who is given the power to speak in international law and who is not? How can rules that are generally considered to be ‘non-binding’ exert their influence on jurisdiction? How do actors located in the Global South approach the notion of jurisdiction? What is the role of jurisdiction in shaping the idea and self-description of International Law as a discipline? Do we have to rethink or abandon the conceptual link between sovereignty and jurisdiction? Is there an essential and unifying element that links the different conceptions of jurisdiction?

Interdisciplinary engagements can provide a more nuanced understanding of jurisdiction: How can accounts not linked to the state help us understand contemporary conflicts of jurisdiction? Which historical circumstances have shaped the notion of jurisdiction? Which (dis) continuities does the history of the idea of ​​jurisdiction reveal? Are questions of jurisdiction always questions of power? How do socio-cultural circumstances inform diverging notions of jurisdiction? How can critical approaches sharpen our understanding of the notion of jurisdiction?

How has private international law dealt with conflicts of jurisdiction and ‘forum-shopping’? What is the relationship between sovereignty and state or diplomatic immunity? How do digital spaces challenge existing notions of jurisdiction? Do we need a new concept of jurisdiction for cyber warfare and for space law? What is the role of the notion of jurisdiction in shaping the relationship between humans and their natural environment? How do rival notions of jurisdiction affect the access to justice regarding human rights violations at the borders of Europe? How can the conflict between the German Federal Constitutional Court and the European Court of Justice be analyzed through the lens of jurisdiction? What are the causes of the criticism leveled against the International Criminal Court’s interpretation and exercise of its jurisdiction?

We invite submissions contemplating these and other questions and hope to cover a broad range of international law topics, including public international law, private international law, and European law. We welcome all theoretical approaches and methods and explicitly invite doctrinal work as well as interdisciplinary, discourse theoretical, historical, philosophical, and critical approaches.

CfP: Christ University Law Journal on Eco-centrism in Environmental Law [Vol 11, Number 1]: Submit by June 30, 2021

About the Journal

Christ University Law Journal (CULJ), ISSN 2278-4322 is a biannual peer-reviewed journal.

Call for Paper

Theme: Imbibing Eco-centrism in Environmental Law: Scope, Challenges and the Way Forward
Law has always been used as a tool to secure human needs and wants. An anthropocentric approach is ingrained in every facet of law, and environmental law is no exception. Unfortunately, the present environmental legal regime has not been able to stymie the degradation of the environment, let alone bring about a paradigm shift in the way in which, we humans, interact with nature.
Environmental Law has been based on the wrong assumption that humans are a separate entity, living away from nature. By doing so, it has not taken into consideration the intrinsic, inherent value that exists in each and every component and thereby fails to address the real problems that plague Mother Earth.
This anthropocentric approach has already caused irretrievable damage to the environment. It is high time that we change this wrong assumption and address real concerns and bring about the much-needed thrust towards framing an eco-centric law, which treats humans as a part of nature.
To foster this line of thought one has to delve into its scope, the challenges and possible solutions which would lead to a harmonious coexistence between man and nature.

Themes

Christ University Law Journal invites research paper submissions on the following sub-themes:Conceptualising Environmental Law and Governance: Issues and ChallengesDifferentiating Right to environment and Right of EnvironmentEnvironment Protection: Evaluating Rights and DutiesExtending the concept of standingEco-feminism: An AnalysisDeep Ecology: A panacea for environmental woes?Restructuring the environmental justice delivery system: Issues and ChallengesInternalising customs and traditions into Environmental LawThe interface between environment and ethics

Call for Papers – Special Issue on Family Law Disruption and Response during the Covid-19 Pandemic: Viral Lessons for Research, Policy, and Practice

About the Issue:

Family law systems were already overwhelmed when the Covid-19 pandemic erupted. Through
varied policy and public health responses, the family law system, alongside families served, have
had to adjust to emergency orders not only in response to health but also economic disruption.
This has brought risk and opportunity as professionals adjust services, address new sources of
parental conflict over interplays of work, children, and quarantine, and are forced to experiment
in real time without past precedent as a guide.
In this issue, we take stock of lessons learned in what can be done in a crisis, how to best help
“pivot” when traditional, “analog” service delivery is interrupted, what necessary innovations
might come new best practices, and what experiments failed. We also want to better understand
the needs and perspectives of parents as they variably accessed (and demanded) family court and other services.

Theme and Sub-themes:

The following topics are suggestions for submission:
• How family courts and/or professionals have “pivoted” in their work. For example, what
has been the impact of virtual court investigations and hearings on gathering evidence,
ensuring procedural justice and/or ensuring trust in the legal system?
• What new challenges have arisen in family law cases filed due to Covid-19? For
example, what health risks have been raised in the course of co-parenting, and what
standards have been used to evaluate child abuse and neglect? How is family
reunification impacted through social distancing policies?
• How have families adjusted (well and not so well in effect), and created their “new
normal” in balancing work, family, and schooling. For example, what has been the
impact of virtual visits on parent-child relationships?
• How has child support been impacted by economic recession and widespread layoffs?

To submit a paper proposal, please email a 250-500-word abstract with the subject heading
FCR Special Covid-19 Issue. Submit your abstract by email to Associate Professor,
Alexandra Crampton; alexandra.crampton@marquette.edu by September 28th 2020.

We will notify presenters about selected papers by late October. Working drafts of papers
will be due no later than April, 2021, and final papers will be due by October 2021.
We look forward to your submissions. If you have further questions, please contact the guest

CFP: Special Issue on Advanced PLS-SEM Applications in Business Research @Elsevier

About the Issue:

Composite-based partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) has become a well-established element in researchers’ multivariate analysis methods toolbox (Hair, Black, Babin, & Anderson 2018). Particularly PLS-SEM’s ability to handle highly complex path models and its causal-predictive nature, which allows bridging the apparent dichotomy between explanation and prediction, have contributed to its massive dissemination. While its usage spans across multiple fields outside the social sciences, the mainstay of PLS-SEM is business research. Some of the most popular models in the fields – including customer satisfaction and loyalty models (e.g., Ahrholdt, Gudergan, & Ringle 2019), corporate reputation models (e.g., Hult, Hair, Proksch, Sarstedt, Pinkwart, & Ringle 2018), and technology acceptance models (e.g., Schubring, Lorscheid, Meyer, & Ringle 2016) – are routinely estimated using PLS-SEM. It is not surprising that some of the most cited articles in the Journal of Business Research (JBR) use the PLS-SEM method (e.g., Coltman, Devinney, Midgley, & Venaik 2008; Camisón & Villar-López 2014).

Recent has brought forward numerous methodological extensions that allow for a more nuanced assessment of results. These extensions include, for example, latent class segmentation, model comparisons, endogeneity assessment, and predictive model evaluation (Hair, Hult, Ringle, & Sarstedt 2017; Hair, Sarstedt, Ringle, & Gudergan 2018). Especially the prediction-oriented PLS-SEM analyses (Shmueli, Ray, Velasquez Estrada, & Chatla 2016; Sharma, Shmueli, Sarstedt, Danks, & Ray 2019) and methods to assess the result’s robustness (Sarstedt, Ringle, Cheah, Ting, Moisescu, & Radomir 2019) are particularly important to substantiate findings, conclusions, and managerial recommendations.

The aim of this special issue of JBR is to introduce advanced PLS-SEM methods to a wider audience. The special issue embraces the applications of advanced PLS-SEM methods to generate new insights and shed new light on existing models and theories. In addition, methodological advances of the PLS-SEM method will also be considered. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

  • Differences in model development from explanatory vs. predictive perspectives,
  • Explanatory versus predictive model evaluation,
  • New metrics for goodness-of-fit testing and predictive power assessment,
  • Using PLS-SEM in experimental research and on experimental data (e.g., discrete choice modelling data),
  • Endogeneity in PLS-SEM,
  • Common method variance in PLS-SEM,
  • Using PLS-SEM with archival (secondary) data,
  • Addressing observed (multi-groups analysis and moderation) and unobserved heterogeneity (segmentation) in PLS-SEM,
  • Using PLS-SEM on panel or longitudinal data,
  • Combining Bayesian modeling and PLS-SEM, and
  • Other advanced developments of PLS-SEM and their application.

Submission and review process:

Manuscripts should not have been previously published or be under consideration by other journals. The special issue is tied to the 2020 International Conference on Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (www.pls2020.org) to be held October 27-30, 2020 in Beijing, China. Outstanding papers presented at this conference will be invited for submission. However, the guest editors also welcome submissions of high-quality papers that have not been submitted to or presented at the conference. Authors who submit papers that have not been presented at the 2020 International Conference on Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling must explicitly state in their cover letter what is unique and valuable about the paper within the context of presenting an advanced PLS-SEM application in business research.

The manuscript must fully comply with the JBR author guidelines.

Authors must use the official JBR submission portal, and select ‘Advanced PLS-SEM’ special issue for their submission. The submission portal will open on November 15, 2022 and will close on January 18, 2023.

All papers will be screened by at least two guest editors (and desk rejected if not deemed suitable) before being sent to at least two referees. Papers will undergo a maximum of two rounds of revision to meet the scope and high standards of JBR (or will be rejected otherwise). There is no guarantee of publication.

The publication of this special issue is anticipated at the end of 2021.

For any queries regarding submission, please contact the special issue guest editors via email.

CFP: Understanding the effects of social distancing on consumer and business practices during a pandemic: marketing and management implications.

About the Issue:

This Special Issue seeks to expand research conducted to date in the multidisciplinary literature to understand the effects of social and physical distancing during a pandemic by applying a marketing perspective. The aim is to examine how an extreme and unexpected situation is transforming both consumer behaviors and business practices. The current pandemic due to COVID-19 has generated changes in consumers’ consumption practices and led many businesses to adapt to new emerging consumer behaviors such as panic purchasing. While keeping the connections with customers, companies and brands are also engaging in this crisis by playing a social role through showing empathy, donating, sponsoring hospitals, helping public authorities to raise the awareness of people about the Coronavirus, manufacturing face masks and hand sanitizers, and developing online creative and humoristic content to adapt to a new quarantined consumption culture. The social distancing due to the COVID-19 pandemic has changed the daily lives and consumption practices of consumers. For example, while some consumers have started to prepare home-made meals and bread, others have been involved in volunteering and helping vulnerable populations.

This pandemic is disrupting consumer and business practices. It is leading both companies and consumers to develop coping mechanism (Echeverri & Salomonson, 2019: Falchetti et al., 2016) and resilience (Baker et al., 2007) to handle vulnerable situations (Batat & Tanner, 2019; Saatcioglu & Corus, 2016) and reinvent themselves to achieve their individual and collective well-being (Batat et al., 2017). Therefore, for marketing researchers, it could be relevant to analyze consumer behaviors and business practices in different domains and from different analytical angles to provide researchers and practitioners with new insights that can enrich research. This Special Issue builds on prior works in medical sciences, sociology, and marketing that tackled the concept of social distancing and its impact on individuals’ behaviors from different perspectives. While in medical sciences, social distancing refers to a public health practice that urges individuals to maintain their physical distance from each other during a pandemic outbreak to slow the dissemination of the infection (Glass et al., 2006), in sociology, the use of social distancing is mainly related to the study of the impact of ethnicity, social class, and gender on individuals’ perceptions of distance (Ethington, 1997). Yet, although “social distance” is an established construct in sociology, there is no consensus yet on its definition. Some sociologists have advised the World Health Organization (WHO) to change terminology and use “physical distancing” instead of “social distancing.”

While neither of these perspectives and definitions is directly applicable to marketing, “social distance” as a theoretical construct has been used in a few marketing studies to understand shopping behavior. Dickson and MacLachlin (1990) extended the concept of social distance studied in sociology by applying it to the field of retail. Kim et al. (2008) investigated the impact of two dimensions of psychological distance: temporal and social on consumers’ evaluations of products. Similarly, Zhao and Xie (2011) examined the interplay of social and temporal distance on consumers’ responses to peers’ recommendations. As such, despite these studies, the link to consumer social distancing generated by an unexpected situation such as a pandemic and its impact on consumption and business practices as a field of research remains largely unexplored in marketing. This, therefore, presents an ideal opportunity to extend a growing body of the literature on consumer social distancing in a pandemic by advancing the current understanding of emerging consumer and business practices from different perspectives.

In line with the focus of Journal of Marketing Management, this Special Issue welcomes contributions that take managerial, interpretive, and critical perspectives – including contributions that take the traditional format (i.e., papers both qualitative and quantitative) along with videographic contributions. All disciplinary, theoretical (Consumer Culture Theory, Transformative Consumer Research, etc.), and methodological perspectives are welcomed to stimulate marketing and management research in relation to the impact of social distancing during an extreme and unexpected situation such as a pandemic on both consumption and business practices. Topics for this special issue include, but not limited, to the following themes:

  • Consumer physical versus social distancing
  • What does social distancing behaviour mean? A conceptual introduction in marketing
  • How does social distancing in a pandemic affect consumer behaviours and business practices?
  • Consumer behaviour changes during a pandemic
  • Quarantine consumer culture
  • Consumer social distancing in a pandemic from a cross-cultural perspective
  • Consumer vulnerability vs. competence in a pandemic
  • The use of digital and technology in consumption activities during a pandemic
  • Brands’ business practices and communication to respond to a pandemic crisis
  • What are the consequences of the imposed lockdown and social distancing on the future of businesses and brands?
  • How can marketing contribute to the well-being of consumers during a pandemic?
  • What is the role of customer experience in a pandemic?
  • How has social distancing in a pandemic disrupted both business and consumer practices?
  • Young consumers reactions to imposed social distancing
  • The role of empathy marketing and branding in a pandemic
  • Ethics and socially responsible business and consumer practices in a pandemic
  • Consumer resilience in a pandemic
  • How is a pandemic disrupting business and consumption practices?
  • Emergent business models and innovations due to a pandemic
  • Consumers’ panic purchase behaviours
  • Branding and communication during a pandemic

call for papers: Information Technology and Customization Strategies in the Digital Economy

Call for Papers

Title: Information Technology and Customization Strategies in the Digital Economy

Short title (VSI): Technology & Customization

Background and Motivations

Customers’ preferences and needs are changing surprisingly fast in the digital economy (Kotler et al., 2016). Emerging information technologies (e.g., mobile apps, voice technology, virtual reality) are empowering individual customers to have mounting knowledge, flexibility, and engagement in business practice (Araujo et al., 2020; Zhang & Chang, 2020). As such, how to better fulfill customer value creation and delivery is becoming increasingly important (Kostis & Ritala, 2020; Van Le & Suh, 2019), and is an immutable source for firms’ competitive advantage.

Firms have been increasingly emphasizing and advancing customization strategies to enhance their ability to fulfill personalized customer demands (Wind & Rangaswamy, 2001). However, due to the paramount role in collecting, analyzing, and understanding customer needs (Selladurai, 2004), integrating and optimizing supply chains (Schniederjans et al., 2020), and delivering agile products/services (Shams et al., 2020), information technology has always been a critical constraint in the customization process (Zipkin, 2001). Amid the digital age, many new information technologies (e.g., Big data analytics, Cloud computing) are surfacing and being adopted in business decision-making (Kohtamäki et al., 2020; Nieuwenhuis et al., 2018). The emergence of those disruptive digital technologies has ushered in new opportunities and challenges for firms to formulate and implement effective and innovative customization strategies (Deradjat & Minshall, 2017). For instance, better data collection, data analysis, and system design and iteration (Ghobakhloo, 2020; McAfee et al., 2012) are enabling and galvanizing firms to innovate their customization strategies in the digital economy.

Although customization strategies can improve firms’ performance by meeting the heterogeneous demands of customers, they also increase the cost of value creation and delivery, which reflects a paradoxical trade-off of “benefits-costs” (Wang et al., 2017; Wiengarten et al., 2017). Many previous studies have shed light on how to deal with this tension from a variety of theoretical perspectives (Liu & Yao, 2018; Yao, 2013). However, scant studies have explicitly explored and synthesize how new IT artifacts affect customization strategies, especially in the digital age, despite the role of IT has become increasingly significant nowadays (Ballestar et al., 2020). Therefore, it is imperative to gather the knowledge of the relationship between IT and innovative customization strategies, and to examine how the new digitized IT artifacts influence the revenue and cost of firms’ customization strategies in the digital economy.

Furthermore, digitized information technologies have also been driving firms to innovate their customization modes, such as personalized customization based on AI (Robinson et al., 2020), mobile-based customization (Tong et al., 2020), etc. However, digitized information technology also brings new challenges to the customization practice of firms, such as privacy leakage and data discrimination (Caputo et al., 2018; Okazaki et al., 2020). So it is also important to explore how firms can take full advantage of those new information technologies and avoid such kinds of negative effects at the same time.

Thus, as the way of customer participation in customization continues to evolve and firms keep improving their customization capabilities, it is necessary for future studies to deeply explore the potential various “revenue” and “cost” mechanisms from the perspective of information technologies in the digital economy.

Objective and topics

This Special Issue seeks state-of-the-art papers that take a broad view of information technology’s current and future impact on firm’s customization strategies and customer participation in customization. We also invite studies drawing on data from real-world settings that take a future-looking perspective to formulate new research paths and pragmatic applications for consumers and businesses. Papers considered for the Special Issue may focus on topics including, but not limited to, the following:

• Digital information technology adoption for innovative customization strategies

• Technological drivers that facilitate customization strategies

• Digital capabilities and the formulation and implementation of customization strategies

• Comparison of new customization strategies/ modes in the digital era

• The interconnections between information technologies and “revenue vs. cost” dilemma of customization

• Interaction and value co-creation between firms and customers in the digital customization platforms

• Customer empowerment and value co-creation in the customization practice

• The personalization experience–privacy paradox in the digital era

Call For Papers: Technology and Social Change during the Pandemic Crisis @Elsevier

About the Journal & Background

The coronavirus pandemic invaded the world like a silent dark shadow. First announced as a pneumonia of unknown cause by China on December 31, 2019, the COVID-19 pandemic has completely devastated the world (Blackburn et al., 2020). As of August 15, 2020, the pandemic infected almost 21 million people and caused close to 750,000 deaths worldwide (Johns Hopkins University & Medicine, 2020). It is not just people’s health that is suffering. The global economy is in a rapid downward spiral to recession, social distancing has caused mental anguish to everyone, and daily life patterns have dramatically changed (Stoll, 2020).

As damaging and tragic COVID-19 has been, in both scale and depth, one fortunate thing is that the pandemic occurred in today’s digital age (Guy, 2019; Trimi, 2020). We can apply such advanced technologies as artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, smart sensors, Internet of Things (IoT), mobile and location technologies, virtual and augmented reality (VR & AR), cloud computing, and autonomous systems. These technologies help generate innovation ideas to manage the pandemic through real-time scanning of the virus spread, data analytics for testing, contact tracing, and isolation of infected patients (Tonby & Woezel, 2020). However, it is important to maintain a balance between leveraging the power of advanced technologies and protecting people’s privacy. For example, due to the differences in privacy laws, it has been more challenging to trace the Covid-19 cases in the USA than in countries like China or South Korea (Chen, 2020).

The pandemic has brought a complete change to the way organizations operate, people live, and governments administer. Many business enterprises were either completely shut down (e.g., restaurants, bars, construction projects, casinos, theaters, sports events, the Tokyo Olympics, amusement parks, casinos, etc.) or operating at a substantially reduced scale (e.g., airlines, hotels, conventions, national parks, golf courses, etc.).

The pandemic has brought social change that no one expected. The recommended and/or compulsory use of masks, social distancing, and shelter-in-residence have significant and positive impacts on controlling the pandemic. It is also estimated that these actions could save approximately 40.76 trillion USD globally (Yoo & Managi, 2020). However, the new measures have changed the way people live (work, learn, entertain, exercise, love, and eat). Such social changes have an enormous impact on people’s physical and emotional health, drive to learn and grow, and the way daily needs are met. Remote work, online learning, telehealth, and home entertainment are only the most visible changes (Lee & Trimi, 2020).

The COVID-19 pandemic has no signs of slowing down its destructive power. Until vaccines or cures are developed, the world has to learn to live with the virus. In almost every developed country, the biopharmaceutical industry is rushing to develop effective vaccines, ready for application by the end of 2020. Eventually, the COVID-19 pandemic will also become a past pandemic as the Spanish Flu of 1918-1919, SARS (severe acute respiratory syndrome) in 2003, novel influenza virus (H1N1) in 2009, and MERS (Middle Eastern respiratory syndrome) have through vaccines, cures, or herd immunity. Then, what will be the new normal in the post-pandemic world? The good old days surely will not return precisely as they were (Sneader & Singhal, 2020). Preparation for the new normal will be an arduous road requiring advanced technologies, innovation, new models of organizations and work, and new approaches to people’s social lives.

Several developments during the Covid-19 crisis have the fingerprints of the open and co-innovation paradigms. Typically, these innovation approaches are implemented to reduce operational costs. However, COVID-19 related innovation initiatives focus on saving time (Chesbrough, 2020). Examples of collaborative innovations include the rapid mobilization of the scientists and pharmaceutical companies to develop the vaccine, the sharing of the genetic sequence of the virus immediately after Chinese scientists were able to synthesize the virus, and the publication of all known literature on coronavirus in a machine-readable format.

This Special Issue explores successes and failures of different approaches, innovations, and technology applications for managing the pandemic and strategies for sustaining and thriving during the crisis (Bello et al., 2020). We also invite original research dealing with developing new models of success in the post-pandemic world for people, organizations, and society at large.

Themes and Sub-themes:

Suggested topics for the Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • Managing the pandemic with technology-enabled innovations
  • Collaborative innovation during the crisis
  • Social changes and resilient life strategies
  • Social change for the greater good
  • Reimagining agile organizations for a COVID-19 world
  • Technology-supported management of business disruptions
  • Supply chain innovation during the global pandemic crisis
  • Innovations for contact-free operations and services
  • AI and big data analytics for crisis management
  • Repurposing strategies during the time of crisis
  • Remote work, online education, and telehealth: success and failure experiences
  • Improving the productivity of remote work practices
  • New patterns of leisure and entertainment during the COVID-19 pandemic
  • Technology-driven strategies for managing the pandemic
  • Digital transformation of organizations in the post-pandemic period
  • Agile and resilient strategies in the new normal
  • Social entrepreneurship in times of the crisis
  • Technology intrusion and privacy concerns during the pandemic

Call for Papers @ International Journal of Discrimination and the Law Editors Nicole Busby and Grace James

Submissions Deadline: 31 October 2020
Manuscripts will be considered as they are received Martha Fineman’s vulnerability theory is premised on an understanding of the human condition as one of universal and constant vulnerability. As human beings, our embodied state leaves us susceptible to
continuous change in our well-being and our embeddedness in social institutions and arrangements and the nature and operation of those institutions enable us, to varying degrees, to build and exercise resilience. Fineman’s notion of the universal body, ‘understood as prior to the social or political, as independent of existing or imagined ethical, or moral social arrangements’1 provides a useful starting point for thinking about the effects of and responses to the Covid-19 pandemic across different states and
within different legal contexts.

The editors of this special issue are interested in submissions which interrogate how states have historically organised their social welfare responses to vulnerability and how those social arrangements have mitigated or exacerbated the effects of the pandemic. Such insights may provide commentaries on how governmental responses should be devised and supported using the lessons learned. Rather than framing these interrogations and responses by way of a traditional non-discrimination approach which distinguishes between individuals and groups on the grounds of their perceived specific vulnerabilities, analyses should start from the perspective of our shared universal vulnerability as embodied beings. In this way we seek to explore how the corporeal manifestations of the pandemic are reflected, deflected and reproduced in and by the state in its various guises and within different contexts by way of pre-existing institutions, relationships and the arrangements that flow from them and to identify the route out of this that a vulnerability perspective offers.

Contributions are welcome which explore experiences of the pandemic within a single state, geographical region or through a comparative approach and which consider the impact of the pandemic on one area of law and/or policy (for example, family law, social security law, medical law, economic law, employment law, etc.) or across legal and policy frameworks more generally.

Relevant questions for consideration include:
 How has the state’s historical conceptions of vulnerability impacted on its responses to the current pandemic?
 Has the focus on ‘particularised bodies’ limited state responses to Covid-19?
 What has the pandemic revealed about the current construction of social relationships and institutions and how might a vulnerability approach be used in response?

 What do state responses to Covid-19 tell us about the current construction of the human body
in legal and policy frameworks?
 What does the pandemic tell us about the role of legal subjectivity in constructing the
relationships and institutions that order society for everyone?
 What has the pandemic exposed regarding who bears the burdens for the social reproduction of
society and its institutions and how might this be impacted in future?
 What might the crisis mean for reimagining the ‘responsive state’?

How to Submit
Contributions of between 8,000-10,00 words (including references) are welcome. Submissions should comply with the guidance available here: https://journals.sagepub.com/authorinstructions/JDI#WritingYourPaper and will be subject to full peer review. Submit your manuscript online by 31st October 2020 at: https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/ijdl
Please feel free to contact the editors, Nicole Busby (Nicole.Busby@glasgow.ac.uk) or Grace James (c.g.james@reading.ac.uk) if you require more information.

CALL FOR PAPERS: McCOMBS NASMEI MARKETING CONFERENCE

IIM INDORE McCOMBS NASMEI
MARKETING CONFERENCE

INDIAN INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT
INDORE

December 21-23, 2016

CONFERENCE THEME:

“CREATING CUSTOMER VALUE THROUGH INNOVATIONS IN EMERGING ECONOMIES”

About Conference:

More than ever before, success of marketing largely depends upon the ability to facilitate and sustain meaningful, engaging experiences for consumers. Significant advances in technology and communications, facilitated by social media, in recent years have greatly contributed to making delivering experiences to consumers easier. Customers have abandoned the traditional one-way passive reception of product and brand offerings and now consciously looking for ones where a two-way exchange of value happens. Marketing strategy role has seen a steady jump in enabling effective user-brand interactions, putting the onus on brands of supporting product offerings with personalised marketing efforts. Shifting societal expectations demand that marketing organizations become genuinely involved with local environment in a way that simple monetary contributions alone cannot achieve, adding to altruistic value to consumer experiences of such brands. Modern youth, as a growing affluent customer base is increasingly getting dissatisfied with convention product offerings and expect experiential activities that captivate and motivate them to stick to a brand. The theme of the 2016 IIM Indore McCombs NASMEI Marketing Conference is to focus on identifying ways of enriching customer values through unique product offerings supported by strong branding. We invite scholars across all of the disciplines within marketing to submit their works, research results, and their refinements of future ideas, as well as their suggestions for special sessions that have direct or tangential connection to the conference theme. Also, we welcome papers that may not be directly related to the theme, but still contribute enhancing customer value.

The venue of the conference is Indian Institute of Management Indore in Madhya Pradesh province of India. The institute is occupies more than 200 acres of land and offers pristine environment with great fooding options, well equipped sports complex, and lots of green space for a convenient walk. Indore is a well-developed city with plethora of nearby historical places to visit like Ujjain, Mandu and Maheshwar, apart from numerous places of importance in the city itself. To participate, submit competitive papers or special session proposals electronically using the conference management system to the appropriate track chair listed below.

The conference will deliberate upon the following themes: both conceptual and empirical papers are invited pertaining to recent and emerging developments in the following areas.

1. Understanding consumer behaviour in current marketing environment is essential for the success of companies. Companies need to explore and understand the consumer behaviour with respect to products and services which can provide them valuable insights for product development and marketing communications.
2. Social media and digital marketing is playing a profound role by influencing the consumer behaviour in current marketing environment. With the emergence of e-commerce, social media and digital marketing, it became essential to understand the behaviour of consumers in digital space also. The digital market place is evolving fast and the success of any company depends on understanding the consumer and designing effective means to reach them in internet and other media.
3. Culture, subcultural factors, society, reference groups and mass media can influence the behaviour of consumers. So it’s vital to understand how these factors can influence the consumer behaviour when they look at product or services. We can also look at how these factors are important when we look at product and services development, online sales and promotions of products and services.
Role of marketing strategy in using some these new marketing tools in creating richer customer values and long term consumer-brand relationship.

In the light of the above areas the conference will focus on the following broad themes in the current business environment.

1. Consumer Behaviour, its significance and applications in product and service marketing.
2. Role of e-commerce social media and digital marketing and its influence on consumer behaviour.
Influence of cultural, reference groups, society and mass media on consumer behaviour.
3. Research approaches in understanding consumer behaviour.
Any inter disciplinary topic allied to these areas will also be considered for the conference.

Prior permission shall be required if the recycled work forms more than 5% of the new work.

Travel & Accomadation

 

Goa, a tiny emerald land on the west coast of India, the 25th State in the Union of States of India, was liberated from Portuguese rule in 1961. It was part of Union territory of Goa, Daman & Diu till 30 May 1987 when it was carved out to form a separate State.

A very striking feature of Goa is the harmonious relationship among various religious communities, who have lived together peacefully for generations. Though a late entrant to the planning process, Goa has emerged as one of the most developed States in India and even achieved the ranking of one of the best states in India with regards to investment environment and infrastructure.

 

Goa covers very wide range of hotels and other accommodation facilities to suit every budget.

Call for PAPERS: International Conference @Shyam Lal College, University of Delhi

Two-day International Conference on: The Salience of New & Renewable Energy in Sustainable Development: Opportunities & Challenges” (January 13-14, 2015, New Delhi, India)

Energy access is a critical factor in eradication of poverty and is a fundamental means to achieve sustainable development. By developing adequate infrastructure that provides consistent and affordable access to energy, the local communities can significantly improve their standard of living and enhance their economic status, for instance, through a healthier home environment, access to new productive activities and improved education.

India has the world’s fifth-largest electricity generation capacity, which currently stands at 243 GW. The power sector in India is highly diverse with varied commercial sources for power generation like coal, natural gas, hydro, oil and nuclear as well as unconventional sources of energy like solar, wind, bio-gas and agriculture. The demand for power has been growing at a rapid rate and overtaken the supply, leading to power shortages in spite of manifold growth in power generation over the years.

The role of new and renewable energy has been assuming increasing significance in recent times with the growing concern for the country’s energy security and for the promotion of sustainable development.

In this background, present Conference invites Academicians, Researchers and Practitioners from across the globe to deliberate upon the issues and challenges of New and Renewable Energy based on their primary research/practical experience(s).

Acceptance of all the abstracts and papers is subject to approval of the referring committee constituted for review. The interested participants can send their Abstract (on broad theme or any of sub-themes listed below) latest by the November 7, 2014 and full paper within a month from communication of acceptance.

  • Future of Global Energy Market: Role of New and Renewable Energy in Sustainable Development

  • Energy Policies and Case studies of Developing / Developed Countries

  • Creating Enabling Policies for Equitable Energy Access ,Energy Development & Policies
