The 20th International Product Development Management Conference (IPDMC) will be held from Sunday June 23rd to Tuesday 25th June, 2013 at Dauphine University and MINES ParisTech in Paris, France.

IPDMC has established itself as a leading annual international event in its field. Papers presented at the meeting include subjects that cross business disciplines. The conference has become the focus of important networking among innovation and product development management researchers. Also adjacent areas such as technology management, entrepreneurship, marketing of innovations, creativity, and teaching in the field are significant parts of the program.

The special theme for our conference will be “Re-enchanting Technology”. In countries impoverished by the economic crisis, the technological resources have to be reinvented, to stimulate the creation of new products and services to face contemporary challenges such as new energies, caring for an ageing population, new mobility, new healthcare, etc. Research on innovation management often opposed market-pull and techno-push approaches. Recent works rather support the emergence of new forms of collaborations between science, technology, art and business to collaboratively explore, imagine and design the wealth-creating technologies of the future. We should study in more depth the creative technologies and the technological creativity.

We encourage submissions here, along with the more traditional new product development themes of the IPDM conference. The Conference Board and Scientific Committee will encourage selected authors to submit their papers for review to the Journal of Product Innovation Management.

We also draw attention to new tracks on ‘innovation management: yesterday – today – tomorrow ’ (see track M) and Management Innovation (see track L). We invite contributions to these new tracks.

Selected papers from the “History of Innovation Management” track will be invited to submit their papers for a special issue on “innovation management: yesterday – today – tomorrow” in Creativity and Innovation Management Journal.
 

The conference is a unique opportunity for researchers of different backgrounds, but with a common interest in management of product and service development, to update and exchange views. The conference will provide ample opportunities for both formal and informal discussions of the work presented, as well as opportunities for discussions about future international and interdisciplinary research co-operation.

Participants are encouraged to present results of their own work (although presenting is not a requirement for attendance and active participation). The focus of the conference is on management issues. Priority is given to research which has an empirical basis. The theoretical base must be made clear, and references to already-existing research in the field must be made explicit.
The conference includes a Doctoral Workshop which will be held prior to the conference.

The goal of the review process is to select a number of papers that will stimulate discussion and the development of new knowledge, with preference given to empirical research. Some of the 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 research and introduce them to other scholars who share their interests.

The review process examines over 300 submissions each year. Authors submit an extended abstract of about 500 words in length. This abstract should identify the central research question, 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, with a preference for empirical research 
• Technical competence in the development and execution of the research 
• Value of the findings in contributing to knowledge and managerial practice

The organizing committee responds to the author(s) with an overall assessment. The overall assessment scale of the extended abstract is graded using the following scale:

• Rejected 
• Conditional acceptance, either Accepted with required changes or Accepted with minor requested changes 
• Accepted

Authors of accepted abstracts are expected to submit final papers. Conference participation (full registration) is a further condition for publication in the conference proceedings.

If you are considering submitting an abstract to this conference for the first time, you should view the video that describes the conference and includes portions of actual presentations. Scroll down on this page to the heading “Watch the Conference” to see the link to the video.

Final Papers must fulfil the following requirements:


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


2. Priority is given to research which has an empirical basis. This means that conceptual discussions without empirical tests or basis will be accepted only exceptionally. 


3. The focus of the conference is on management issues, so we request that papers include managerial implications.
4. 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)

The doctoral workshop is an integrated part of the IPDMC conference (since Hamburg in 2008). It will start on Saturday June 22nd around noon and will continue on Sunday June 23rd morning.

It will take place at Mines ParisTech (École des Mines de Paris) 
60 boulevard Saint Michel - 75272 Paris Cedex 06 http://www.mines-paristech.eu/About-us/Location/



To stimulate academic scholarship, discussions of ideas and dialogue among students and researchers from different countries, in the field of Product Development Management research, we would like to invite doctoral students 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.
In case the PhD dissertation is not a monograph and is made of a series of articles on a common theme, 
the candidate can present a part of the work and a two-page summary of the overall dissertation theme.



Sessions will be organized in smaller groups based on the submitted material with one senior researcher in each group, but there will also be plenary sessions on topics of general interest, e.g. on how to get your research into journals and methodology issues.



Research proposals and project material presented will be discussed by senior researchers as well as by younger researchers experienced in the specific field of the research presented.

Doctoral candidates interested in attending and presenting their research proposal and/or their reflections on their work so far (not the results of finished research) were requested to submit a description of their research.


THE SUBMISSION DEADLINE IS OVER





The chairmen for the PhD workshop will assess the submitted descriptions and select those who will attend the workshop.

The main conference will take place at Dauphine University, which is close to the Arc de Triomphe and Champs Elysées, with easy connections, through a very efficient public transportation network, to the airports as well as all relevant places in the city. Beyond its well-known touristic and historical reputation, Paris is today one of the leading innovative cities in Europe. Building on the solid historical grounds of its innovative engineers (Eiffel, Citroën, Renault, Dassault,…), artists (multiple artistic movements born in Paris), architects and designers, Paris is today reinventing its way to be a melting pot for scientific, technological and artistic innovations for contemporary issues. Recent initiative such as Autolib’, the LVMH foundation for modern art or the new university alliances linking universities, art schools, and engineering schools, are just some examples of these contemporary initiatives.

Paris Dauphine University is a national recognised education and research institution in the field of Organization and Decision sciences. This encompasses a broad, coherent range of disciplines: Management, Law, Applied economics, sociology and political Science in the context of Organization Sciences; Information technology and Mathematics applied to Decision sciences. Dauphine University has gained EQUIS accreditation in 2009 and has joined a major multidisciplinary alliance known as “Paris Sciences et Lettres” (PSL) uniting Parisian institutions with a common commitment to culture, selective admissions and research.

MINES ParisTech is a research and teaching institute. Its graduate school is highly selective and educates the “executive engineers” for tomorrow industry. Its research labs are leaders in innovative engineering sciences, ranging from material sciences to management through energy or earth sciences; they rely on strong links with industrial partners to explore breakthrough issues in science. One of the leading institutions for research contracts with the industry, and for top level engineering education, MINES ParisTech combines research excellence, industrial relevance and high level engineering education. MINES ParisTech is a member of PSL.

Dauphine University and MINES ParisTech are located in Paris downtown.
