Within the next decade the challenges of global climate change will affect almost everything: the products that we consume, the production processes and the supply chains, business models of many industries, and most of all our way of living. It will change our societies in general. Products and services will have to be developed from the beginning to optimally meet the requirements of a circular economy. Companies will need to develop their processes (procurement, development, manufacturing, sales and recycling) accordingly and establish partner networks that facilitate access to appropriate resources and knowledge. These fundamental changes will require a lot of product and process innovations in practice. At the same time it will also offer challenges and opportunities for innovation research. At the 29th IPDMC 2022 we need to talk about these challenges and opportunities.

FORMAT OF THE SESSIONS 2022: 

Regular Sessions (of one hour and a half) will consist of three papers. Each paper presentation (15 minutes) will be  followed by a 5 minutes discussion and a 10 minutes plenary Q&A.

So besides presenting your own paper, each presenter is expected to contribute to the discussion of one of the other papers in the session.

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 December 10, 2021 (extended deadline). 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) with feedback and noting acceptance or rejection of the extended abstract. 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 before June 1, 2022. 

If you are interested in presenting a paper at the conference, you will be requested to submit your extended abstract (about 500 words)  

before
December 10, 2021 (23:59 CET) 
(extended deadline)

(by Ken Schreiner)

The IPDM Conference is a unique opportunity for researchers of different backgrounds, but with a common interest in management of innovation, 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.

Christer Karlsson Best Paper Award:

The Conference Board will select one Best Paper out of the papers submitted. The author(s) will receive an award during the closing session of the conference.

Thomas P. Hustad Best Student Paper Award:

The Conference Board will select one Best Student Paper out of the papers submitted where the main researcher and author is a PhD student. PhD students who submit should indicate their wish to be considered for this award. A condition of consideration for the Best Student Paper award is a statement from the primary supervisor confirming the registration status of the student and that the work is primarily that of the PhD student. The author(s) will receive an award during the closing session of the conference.
