IPDMC 2020 - GOES TO VIRTUAL !
27TH IPDMC: INNOVATION AND PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE

ONLINE, JUNE (7) 8-9, 2020
IPDMC 2020 - GOES TO VIRTUAL

As COVID-19 continues to introduce challenges to our society, economies and institutions, EIASM together with the IPDMC 2020 Local Organising Committee, the Conference Chair and Vice-Chair and the Board have engaged intensively over the past week. Even if the current lockdowns and travel bans are lifted before early June, it is difficult to see how academic travel will be back to normal at that time.

The clear commitment emerging from our discussions has been to maintain our community of research-active faculty and students as we deal with the COVID-19 crisis. In particular, we recognise that the careers of younger faculty and Ph.D. students may suffer if all academic conferences are cancelled or significantly postponed in 2020.

So, we have decided to

KEEP THE CONFERENCE DATES

and to change to a

VIRTUAL FORMAT

to be delivered online.

PROGRAMME OF THE VIRTUAL CONFERENCE 
IS AVAILABLE 
HERE



 

BACKGROUND

The 27th Innovation and Product Development Management Conference (IPDMC) will be held from the reception and registration on Sunday June 7th to Tuesday, June 9th, 2020, at Campus Carolus, KU Leuven, Antwerp, Belgium.

The associated doctoral workshop will take place on Saturday and Sunday June 6th-7th, 2020. 

Antwerp as a city has a lot to offer in terms of culture, arts and leisure. We plan to organize a number of socio-cultural events as well as small scale research meetings during the weekend (June 6 & 7) for early travellers/arrivals.

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.

!!! NEW !!! POSTER PRESENTATION OPPORTUNITY!

As part of the continuing development of IPDMC as a forum for development and diffusion of new research, we are introducing a Poster Session for IPDMC 2020.

So, perhaps you were not able to respond to the original Call for Papers (now closed). If so, please consider submitting a poster for presentation at the conference. It may give you that extra opportunity to present and discuss your ongoing  and emerging research.

For this first Poster Session, IPDMC plans to recognise the Best Poster with a special award.

- The submission deadline  is now over -

IPDM CONFERENCE: REVIEW PROCESS

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 4, 2019. 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.

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 :

  • Quality of the proposed contribution to theory and practice
  • Originality and appropriateness of the research method
  • Technical competence in the development and execution of the research
  • Value of the findings in contributing to knowledge and managerial practice

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 online proceedings. 

Final Papers must fulfil the following requirements:

The theoretical base must be clear, with explicit references to the already-existing research in the field.

The focus of the conference is on management issues, so empirical papers should include managerial implications.

Authors should note during the submission process via the website whether their paper is the work of an early career researcher (i.e. the paper is primarily the work of a researcher who has received their PhD in the last year) to be considered for the Best Student Paper Award

VIEWS AND HIGHLIGHTS

(by Ken Schreiner)

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?

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.

PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT WORKSHOP AT IPDMC 2020

Sunday 7th June, 2020 14:30 to 17:30 (CEST)

Telling the Story and Showing the Evidence: How to Conduct Rigorous Case Study Research
 

Keith Goffin*, Par Åhlstrom*, Mattia Bianchi* and Helen Perks**

*House of Innovation, Stockholm School of Economics, Sweden

**University of Nottingham, UK

 

IPDMC is offering its first professional development workshop at the 2020 online conference. The workshop Telling the Story and Showing the Evidence will be interactive and it will expand on the material covered in recent studies (Goffin et al, 2019; Perks and Roberts, 2013). As case study research is an appropriate methodology in many innovation studies, the workshop aims to give researchers new perspectives about when and how to apply this methodology.

Participation in this professional development workshop is free of charge to registered Conference participants. 


 The number of participants is limited and we have reached the limit.

We do not accept any more participants, however, we intend to repeat the event during the year. 

 

DOCTORAL WORKSHOP

Doctoral Workshop Chairpersons:
Keith GOFFIN - 
Professor of Innovation and New Product Development, Cranfield University, School of Management, UK

Pascal LE MASSON -  
Professor, MINES ParisTech, France

The Doctoral Workshop is an important and integral part of the IPDMC conference, which has been running successfully for over 10 years. In 2020, it will start on Saturday June 6th at noon, with a light lunch, and will continue through Sunday, June 7th, 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. In addition, DBA researchers are welcome and the extra challenges of their type of research will be discussed.

The workshop is very interactive and it gives small groups of students (typically 3) several hours of intensive discussion about their research with a senior faculty member. Plenary sessions will be focused on general topics of interest to PhD students, such as: identifying interesting and researchable topics, publishing your research, PhDs ‘by publications’, case study 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 preparing questions on their work; and some pre-course reading from textbook(s) and/or research articles.

Upon successful completion of the seminar (full attendance), the participants will be given a certificate and granted 2 ECTS.

There is an extra fee of 100€ for participating in the Doctoral Seminar, and registration to the IPDMC is compulsory.
