5th International Conference on
CHALLENGES IN MANAGING SMART PRODUCTS AND SERVICES (CHIMSPAS)
Institute of Technological Innovation, Market Development and Entrepreneurship (iTIME), Bielefeld, Germany
29-30 August 2024
Deadline for submission: 1 April 2024
Smart products and services are about to transform both markets and companies. Since 2019, scientists discuss corresponding managerial issues during the conference. CHIMSPAS 2024 will take place on-site in Bielefeld, a lovely town in the center of East Westphalia.
In these past years, a vivid community of researchers with various backgrounds, especially from the fields of service management, innovation management, and business information systems, emerged. Again, we cordially invite scholars and practitioners from diverse management fields as well as from further disciplines such as engineering, psychology, or law to join us for another CHIMSPAS event. We welcome conceptual, empirical, and analytical works to be presented at CHIMSPAS. Possible contributions should be submitted as extended abstracts. Both completed research and work in progress are eligible.
An award for the most influential conference contribution will be presented during the conference.
