About the Conference
Dear Colleague,
The International Strategic Management and Managers Association expresses its deep sadness at the losses suffered due to the earthquakes in Turkey and offers condolences to the victims and their families. It is in critical times like these when we feel most strongly our resolution to continue on our scientific endeavors unabated. Therefore, in the name of the International Strategic Management and Managers Association, we would like to issue a call for papers to the 18th International Strategic Management Conference to be held in the historic city of Sofia, Bulgaria, between the dates of July 6th and July 8th, 2023, Thursday through Saturday. The conference will be hybrid – both virtual and in-person. Organized by the International Strategic Management and Managers Association (ISMMA) in cooperation with Gebze Technical University, Yildiz Technical University, İstanbul Bilgi University, and University of National and World Economy (UNWE), the 18th International Strategic Management Conference will focus on the theme of “Strategic Management in the Era of Digital and Green Transformation”.
As part of the CEDIMES/CEDIFIRM network, we will also hold sessions in French (while the papers to be submitted to the review process and all communications with the authors will be in English).
Selected papers will have a chance to be published in the following journals (Please note that some of the journals below have their separate submission process):
International Journal of Organizational Leadership (indexed in the Emerging Sources Citation Index)
Journal of Global Strategic Management (an internationally refereed journal published by the International Strategic Management and Managers Association and abstracted and indexed in several indexes and databases such as EBSCO Central and Eastern European Academic Source, Cabell's, Asos, and the Global Impact Factor),
International Journal of Innovation and Technology Management – (indexed in the Emerging Sources Citation Index. Web site: https://www.worldscientific.com/worldscinet/ijitm)
Journal of Economics, Finance, and Accounting,
Journal of Management, Marketing, and Logistics,
Research Journal of Business and Management, and
Journal of Business, Economics, and Finance.
Conference participants also have the option of publishing their papers in European Proceedings’ on-line publication European Proceedings of Social and Behavioral Sciences, which may be accessed through the link https://www.europeanproceedings.com/book-series/EpSBS, and this year’s volume of European Proceedings of Social and Behavioral Sciences will also be submitted for consideration to be included in Clarivate Analytics’ Conference Proceedings Citation Index, a Web of Science™ Core Collection database. Publication in the European Proceedings of Social and Behavioral Sciences is subject to an additional fee (please see the registration form) and contingent upon the paper’s receiving an acceptance from both reviewers. Those conference papers that will be considered for publication in one of the academic journals listed above will not be submitted to the European Proceedings of Social and Behavioral Sciences; therefore, authors who indicate their willingness to have their papers to be thus considered automatically forfeit their right to publication in the European Proceedings of Social and Behavioral Sciences.
Information about accommodations will follow soon. Also, please note that the gala dinner is included in the registration fee and usually takes place on the second night of the conference; however, the final date of the gala dinner will be announced on our Web site later.
