Extended abstracts (minimum 3 pages), full papers and case study presentations are invited. All accepted full papers and extended abstracts will be published in the conference proceedings volume in an electronic book with an ISBN number by the Würzburg International Business Press.
In addition, some selected papers would be also published in a Special Issue of the Transnational Corporations Review (TNCR) after further development and the Journal's usual review process. TNCR, a SCOPUS indexed journal, is regularly published by Routledge (Taylor & Francis Group). (For detailed information about the journal: https://www.tandfonline.com/toc/rncr20/current)
Since the Coronovirus Pandemic, the conference has been a hybrid event. In other words, the conference will be partly “face-to-face in Würzburg” and partly “online”. Therefore, the prospective participants can utilise both options. (To this end, the participation fees are dependent upon the type of participation - please see the Fees, Registration and Payment page. Those participants who initially pay online fees can later change their participation type to physical conference participation in Würzburg by paying the additional amount (only the difference) if they then prefer and are able to travel to Würzburg on the actual dates).
