The 26th Innovation and Product Development Management Conference (IPDMC) will be held from the reception and registration on Sunday June 9th to Tuesday, June 11th, 2019, at the School of Business, University of Leicester, Leicester, England The associated doctoral workshop will take place from Saturday and Sunday June 8th- 9th, 2019. IPDMC has established itself as the leading annual international conference in the domain of innovation management and new product development. Papers presented at the meeting come from multiple disciplines. Closely related fields such as technology management, entrepreneurship, marketing of innovation, creativity, and design are significant parts of the programme. The conference has become the focus of important networking among innovation and product development management researchers, for PhD students and junior faculty as well as senior faculty. It is the annual event for researchers in the field and serves as the annual meeting of a virtual society with participants enjoying coming back to meet colleagues. The ambiance is known as friendly and supportive.
The 2019 conference will continue to reflect the achievements, challenges and development of the field of Innovation and Product Development Management through academic paper presentations, challenge sessions, industry engagement, academic keynotes and roundtable discussions on key themes. The conference aims to provide all participants with opportunities to hear, think and contribute creatively to the continuing formation of our field. Like others the 2019 conference does not have a specific title or theme. We intend to facilitate the broad and inclusive nature of the conference and the community of innovation and new product/service development researchers and practitioners. In particular, submissions covering leading edge topics and new trends are welcome. Throughout its history, IPDMC has accepted papers from a range of disciplines, including organisation studies, marketing, management, technology management, organisational psychology, creativity and design. The conference welcomes all authors who are interested in managerial, policy and social issues related to innovation and product/service development. This includes research on, but is not limited to, issues that are listed as the themes and areas for the conference below. After the Conference, the Conference Board and Scientific Committee will encourage selected authors to submit their papers for review to the Journal of Product Innovation Management or Creativity and Innovation Management

The goal of the review process is to select a number of papers that will stimulate discussion and the development and dissemination of new knowledge. Some papers will inevitably be more fully developed than others; however, it is hoped that each author will gain insights during the conference that will strengthen their own research and introduce them to other scholars who share their interests. Authors submit an extended abstract of about 500 words in length on/before November 5, 2018. This abstract should identify the central research question and theory base for the research, introduce the most important references and describe the methodology, empirical base, analysis, and results. The review process examines over 300 submissions each year. Each abstract is evaluated by two or three members of the scientific committee. All are senior professors who are well positioned internationally in the field. Each abstract is evaluated using the following points :
The organising committee responds to the author(s) noting acceptance or rejection of the extended abstract. Feedback is provided in all cases. Some author(s) of accepted abstracts may be requested to address specific perceived shortcomings or omissions prior to submitting final papers. Author(s) of accepted abstracts are expected to submit final papers. Conference registration and participation by the author (or at least one co-author) is required for publication in the conference on line proceedings.

The IPDM Conference is a unique opportunity for researchers of different backgrounds, but with a common interest in management of innovation and product and service design and development, to present cutting edge research and exchange views. The conference provides ample opportunities for both formal and informal discussions of the work presented, as well as for discussions about future international and interdisciplinary research co-operation. The primary focus of the conference is on empirical research and managerial issues, although very high quality papers developing substantive theory in other associated aspects of policy, practice and society are also welcomed. Regardless of the type of paper, the theoretical base must be made clear, and references to the extant research in the field must be made explicit. A template must be used to submit (see 'call for papers' section). The conference includes a Doctoral Workshop which will be held prior to the main conference.
The Doctoral Workshop is an important and integral part of the IPDMC conference. It will start on Saturday June 8th at noon, with a light lunch, and will continue through Sunday, June 9th, ending with lunch. To stimulate academic scholarship, discussions of ideas and dialogue among students and researchers from different countries in the field of INNOVATION AND PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT MANAGEMENT RESEARCH, we invite all doctoral students from these domains worldwide to attend this doctoral workshop. PhD students in early and middle stages of their PhD research project are particularly encouraged to participate and present their research proposals, preliminary results and their reflections on issues related to theory, methods and analysis. For students where their PhD dissertation is not planned as a monograph but as a series of articles on a common theme, then the candidate can present a part of her/his work. The whole workshop is very interactive and will give small groups (of typically 4 students) several hours of intensive discussion about their research with a faculty member. Other sessions will be in-plenary, focused on general topics of interest to Ph.D. Students, such as: identifying interesting and researchable topics, publishing your research, and managing your academic career. Students will be asked to fully prepare for the Doctoral workshop, including preparing a 10-20-page comprehensive description of their research (pdf); reading other students’ descriptions; and some pre-course reading from textbook(s). Upon successful completion of the seminar (full attendance), the participants will be given a certificate and granted 2 ECTS.

Leicester's historical buildings include the 14th century Guildhall and Jewry Wall, one of the largest surviving pieces of Roman architecture in Britain. The city is famous for its association with King Richard III who mustered his army here in 1485 and was buried in a Leicester church after being defeated and killed at the Battle of Bosworth Field. The king's lost grave was found in 2013 by University of Leicester archaeologists. His remains were reinterred in Leicester Cathedral which has the Richard III Visitor Centre nearby. The University's own Attenborough Arts Centre combines exhibitions of contemporary art with theatre, comedy, dance and music plus a wide range of courses, from guitar to silversmithing. It has a particularly strong track record on performances by and/or for disabled people and also hosts many events for small children. The Curve is one of the most spectacular, state-of-the-art theatres in the UK with major touring productions regularly visiting. Richard Attenborough first trod the boards at The Little Theatre which is still regarded as one of the country's premier amateur theatre companies in the UK, while the Sue Townsend Theatre presents a mix of performances by local and national companies. New Walk Museum and Gallery has collections of dinosaur fossils and Egyptian mummies as well as a collection of artworks including ceramics by Picasso. The museum also welcomes a vast array of temporary exhibitions, touring exhibitions from national museums and a programme of contemporary art and craft displays.
