CALL FOR PAPERS

The fourth conference of the International Network of Business and Management Journals (INBAM) will take place in Barcelona, Spain, from 25-27 June, 2014. The INBAM Association currently consists of fifteen SSCI-indexed journals, presenting thirteen tracks in the 2014 conference and three workshops. Once the conference has concluded, the guest editors (as well as the editor-in-chief of the journals) for each track will decide which papers are to be recommended for inclusion in the special issues/section of the corresponding publications.

INBAM CONFERENCE TRACK RELATED TO "Service Business. An International Journal" (Springer)

TRACK THEME Service Design and Technology
More and more service-providing organizations need to innovate with shorter lead-times for more demanding customers. Technology, as one of the drivers of service innovation, plays an important role in this. Manufacturing companies have identified new services for their business through servitization, with technology as an enabler. Organizations providing only services have extended their portfolio in order to remain competitive. New entrants have expelled existing service-oriented firms on the market by technology innovation.

Open innovation opportunities, Internet-based communication, social media and other technology related options have changed the playing field of service design. Information Technology (IT) has taken off since the midst of the previous century and is continuously having revolutionary impact on the service sector.

TOPICS
This track with intended Special Issue of the journal Service Business calls for submissions on the following topics (not limited to):
Technology enabled service innovation
Strategies for technology enabled service design
Methods and techniques for technology enabled service design
User centered, technology enabled, service design
Service design in co-creation (leveraging technology)
Service design in a network economy
Implementation of technology enabled services

E-services
