Cardiff-Newcastle-Xiamen Universities Business and Management Conference and Centre for China Business Research Symposium
3-7 October 2019, Cardiff
Call for papers and participation
To improve research collaboration and strengthen interactions between Cardiff Business School, Newcastle University Business School, and School of Management in Xiamen University, a Cardiff-Newcastle-Xiamen Universities Business and Management Conference will be held on 3-7 October 2019, together with Centre for China Business Research’s Annual Symposium.
In addition to presentation and discussion of research papers and projects, we will also explore further cooperation in teaching, learning, and administrative training in the future.
The Cardiff-Newcastle-Xiamen Universities Business and Management Conference has been a joint annual event since 2015 between Cardiff Business School, Newcastle University Business School, School of Management of Xiamen University whereas Centre for China Business Research’s Annual Symposium is an annual event of the Centre for China Business Research at Cardiff University.
Because the joint conference usually has many submissions about business and management issues in China, there is a significant overlap with the Centre for China Business Research’s Annual Symposium. So, we put the two events together.
We invite research paper submissions from academics and research students (especially doctoral students). The selection of papers for conference presentation is based on peer-review. Submissions are sought on any areas of accounting, finance, business, logistics and operations research, management, marketing, strategy, tourism, and applied economics.
Please note that we only accept manuscripts in English.
Important dates
- Submission Deadline: 31 July 2019 (email sending date)
- Notification of Acceptance: 5th August 2019 by email
- Conference Attendance RSVP: 30 August 2019.
Contact
All submissions should be sent to carbs-events@cardiff.ac.uk with the subject line ‘cardiff-newcastle-xiamen conference’.
