For its 8th edition the EIASM Interdisciplinary Workshop on “Intangibles, Intellectual Capital & Extra-Financial Information” takes place, for the first time, in France, in Grenoble. The choice of this location is highly significant, as it sounds in tune with the Alps capital’s positioning in intangible economics, especially through technology-focused initiatives.
The location of the hosting Business School, in the heart of the forthcoming GIANT innovation cluster, as well as its historical management of technology mindset, is an occasion to privilege such an orientation. Patent valuation, industrial innovation, knowledge driven clusters and the financing and treatment of R&D are welcome paper subjects in such a geographical area.
But we cannot also ignore the context of the long lasting crisis as another typical feature of our times. Generally seen as drivers for conquest and competitive advantage, intangible assets and intellectual capital might also harbour some defensive virtues, which might help companies and institutions to weather the storm.
According to some scholars, we might even hold, through our pretension to measure the immeasurable, some responsibilities in the growing risky volatility of the last years. Thus, articles questioning not only how we measure, but also why, are especially welcome.
According to the well established spirit of the Workshop and its vibrant scientific community, papers from all management disciplines and methodologies are very positively considered, provided they aim to push forward the boundaries of our understanding of intangibles and intellectual capital issues.

http://www.grenoble-em.com/default.aspx?rub=242
Important information:
Busses stop in Grenoble at “Gare Routière” is located close to the hotels and Grenoble Ecole de Management
AIR
There are three airports near Grenoble:
Lyon airport, also known as Saint Exupéry formerly Satolas, is farther away, about 100 km (1 h by bus, car or train).
Busses go hourly to Grenoble. 22€ one-way, or 33€ return (valid for 2 months) ticket.
Geneva Airport, 157 km from Grenoble, is a common destination of many airlines companies.
• Grenoble can be reached by car in less than 2 hours.
• By train (several times daily) it takes about 2 hours; the price is 23.60€ full price. If the train goes through Lyon, it is both more longer and more expensive.
• There are also direct busses to Grenoble for 57€.www.aerocar.fr
Remember that Geneva is a Swiss city and depending on your country of origin you may need a visa. Since 2008 Switzerland is part of the Schengen area. European Union citizens should not have problems travelling via Geneva. It is also worth remembering that Switzerland has its own currency (the Swiss Franc); nearly all retail outlets in Geneva accept Euros but change is given in Swiss Francs. Geneva Airport also has a "French part" that does not require to enter into Swiss territory if you come from France and your destination flight is to France.
Grenoble Isère Airport, also known as St Geoirs, about 40 km from Grenoble, or about 35 minutes by coach.
Coaches are available for 12.50€ one way/22€ return, although only run a few times a day. This is a small low-cost airport. Flights are more frequent in the ski season. EasyJet and ryanair offer flights To / From Grenoble Isère Airport.
CAR
Just follow the highways from/to :
A41, Geneva (via Chambery)
A48, Lyon and Paris
A49, Valence and Marseille
A51, Aix-en-Provence
Grenoble can be difficult to navigate by car, but once you get there the "Park and Ride" (parking relais) system operated by Semitag-parking is a good way of getting around. (see trams and buses)
TRAIN
Several high speed trains (TGV) from SNCF [11] link Paris to Grenoble directly every day, for a three-hours trip of 640 km. Full price is about €70 for a one-way ticket. Young people and students will be entitled to a découverte discount which can reduce ticket prices by 25%. Those staying for more than a few months and/or planning to travel by train a lot are advised to purchase a 12-25 card (€50) which gives 25 to 50% discounts.
Hourly trains link Lyon (Part-Dieu station) to Grenoble, from 5:30 am to midnight (5am to 10pm from Grenoble to Lyon). This takes around an 1h15 to 1h30 with the TER (regional trains) [12]. Full price is 15€. The train schedule sometimes includes TER buses. The price is the same, the duration is the same, they start at the same station and arrive at the same point.
TER trains also link the city to Geneva in Switzerland (2h), to southern Alps (Gap, Sisteron) and to Valence (1h) where you can change for the TGV to Southern-France.
