Call for Papers
We would like to invite you to the 4th International Conference on Business Management (ICOBM'19). The conference is organized by the American Academic Research Society (AARESOC) and will take place at Erasmus University Rotterdam, Netherlands between 12-13 December, 2019.
The theme of this year's conference is 'Managing Organizations in the Era of Artificial Intelligence'. As such, submissions which fall within any of the following 14 business and management thematic areas are welcome. Interdisciplinary research papers are also highly encouraged.
Thematic Areas
While efforts have been made to highlight contemporary research issues within each of the 14 thematic areas of the ICOBM'19 event, please note that the sub-areas listed underneath each of the thematic areas are not exhaustive. As long as submissions fall within any of the thematic areas, they will be considered for participation in the ICOBM'19 event. As the field of business and management borrows from a diverse array of disciplines, interdisciplinary submissions which cut across two or more thematic areas as well as non-management areas are also welcome.
