Dear colleagues
The Industry Studies Association (ISA) is pleased to share that the Call for Papers for the inaugural international ISA conference is now open!
Hosted at Saïd Business School, University of Oxford, the conference brings together a multidisciplinary community of scholars, policymakers, and industry experts who study firms, institutions, and markets, and how these interactions shape industries and inform public policy.
We welcome submissions from all disciplines that bring an industry focus to the study of organisations, markets, institutions, and industry dynamics. Streams include, among others, Innovation, Entrepreneurship and AI-driven Transformation.
Alongside the academic programme, the conference will include company visits, a welcome reception at Rhodes House, and a gala dinner at one of Oxford's oldest colleges, Balliol College.

• Organised panels of 3-5 papers or panellists
