11th INTERNATIONAL RESEARCH SEMINAR IN SERVICE MANAGEMENT
May 25 ? 28, 2010 in La Londe les Maures, France
MARKETING, STRATEGY, ECONOMICS, OPERATIONS & HUMAN RESOURCES: INSIGHTS ON SERVICE ACTIVITIES
Please accept the conference?s scientific committee?s invitation to submit a paper for presentation at next year?s 11th bi-annual International Research Seminar in Service Management.
The objective of the 2010 International Research Seminar in Service Management is to expand and improve our understanding of problems related to service activities. In pursuit of this objective, the Scientific Committee and the Seminar Coordinators seek to bring together scholars and experts in marketing, operations, organizational behavior/human resources management, economics and strategy.
We are looking once again this year for interdisciplinary papers; empirical and theoretical papers addressing issues relevant to service businesses are invited for review. Conference participants interested in presenting their ideas to peers from other disciplines and in learning from cross-disciplinary discussions and debates are also sought. All submission will be reviewed by the Scientific Committee and Seminar Coordinators. During the conference, a best paper will be announced and after the seminar a special issue with three selected papers from the Seminar will be published in the Journal of Service Management (JOSM).
Email your papers to one of the four scientific committee members (listed below) by JANUARY 15, 2010. Please CC all submissions Rosemary Calazel at rose-mary.calazel@iae-aix.com. You will be notified if your paper has been chosen for the conference by MARCH 1, 2010.
