Description
This special session calls for research revolving around digital marketing and / or branding. Papers at the intersection of these two domains are especially welcome and we incentivize authors to take the overarching conference theme of technology in consideration in their submissions.
We aim at bringing together scholars interested in the ever-evolving dynamics of the digital world and their impact in marketing and branding theories and practices. An up-to-date knowledge on digital marketing and branding is essential to tackle the broader challenges that come together with connectivity, globalization, and the increasing use of technology in the management of organizations and in the markets.
Papers from marketing and other management areas are welcome. There are no paradigmatic or methodological preferences but papers should meaningfully advance current knowledge.
