<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Each year the
European Conference on Research Methodology for Business and Management Studies
(ECRM) provides a forum to meet and exchange views on our lives as researchers
and academics, with others who understand the world in which we live. Over a
few days, with those impassioned with all that is and could be methodology, we hear
the words ‘paradigm’, ‘mixed methods’, ‘research
strategies’ and many more, both in the formal sessions and later around
meal tables and elsewhere. For many participants this conference has become an
eagerly awaited stop on the personal voyage of discovery that is
‘Research’<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'>Academic
research, case studies and work-in-progress/posters are welcomed approaches.
PhD Research, proposals for roundtable discussions or knowledge cafés,
non-academic contributions and product demonstrations based on the main themes
are also invited. </span>Please feel free to circulate this message to any
colleagues or contacts you think may be interested.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Papers presented at the conference will be published in the
conference proceedings, subject to author registration and payment. The
proceedings have an ISBN and ECRM proceedings are listed and/or rated by
multiple organisations worldwide. Selected papers presented at the Conference
will be considered for publication in a special issue of the Electronic Journal
of Business Research Methods.<o:p></o:p></p>
