Dear Colleague/Dear Friend, (apologies for cross-posting)
It is our pleasure to invite you to the 4th International Family Business Research Forum (IFBRF) which will be hosted by Mariateresa Torchia, Domenico Campa, Gregory Moscato, and Ingo Bobel (co-hosts for 2019) and held at International University of Monaco (IUM), Principality of Monaco on April 4-5 2019.
At its fourth edition the International Family Business Research Forum has in the last years provided a unique platform for developing family business research in a structured, stimulating, challenging and friendly environment (and of course within an inspiring context). We have also provided networking and publishing opportunities for participants of previous editions (https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1877858518300299).
This year we are in the wonderful location of Monaco (https://www.monte-carlo.mc/en/general/principality-of-monaco/) in the French Riviera.
There are several publishing opportunities for participants (linking the papers to existing special issues and fast review tracks in journals). Moreover, the five papers which will be shortlisted (nominations) for the two best paper awards (Most inspirational paper, Best contribution to theory and practice paper) will be invited to submit to a journal special issue (ABS 2/3 journal) we are currently working on.
We encourage international scholars – PhD students, young researchers as well as senior scholars – to submit their ideas and works in progress at different stages. Given the developmental nature of the Forum, we encourage submissions of: a) research ideas/proposals/extended abstracts and b) draft of papers/full papers.
Important deadlines are indicated here below:
· December 1, 2018 – All submissions should be sent electronically to a.calabro@ipag.fr
· December 15, 2018 – Authors will be notified on acceptance in order to arrange their travels
· January, 31 2019 – Accepted participants get a written feedback (based on a blind‐review process)
· March, 15, 2019 – Scholars are invited to address/implement the suggestions and send a revised version
We would appreciate if you share this call for papers/proposals with anyone whom you think might be interested.
For further questions please do not hesitate to contact me directly: a.calabro@ipag.fr
Warm Regards
Andrea Calabrò, Alessandro Minichilli, Mariateresa Torchia, Domenico Campa, Gregory Moscato, Ingo Bobel
