“New Perspectives on the Bottom of the Pyramid Strategies”
Chairs: Nikolay A. Dentchev (VUB, Belgium) and Laura Michelini (LUMSA, Italy)
This is a paper development workshop in the frame of a special issue on “New perspectives on the Bottom of the Pyramid Strategies”, approved by the editors of Business & Society (submission deadline 1 April 2019). Workshop participants are invited to submit extended abstracts of about 1.000 words. Prior to the conference in Sofia, workshop participants are encouraged to revise their abstracts and to develop further their ideas toward a first draft of a paper (no obligation). These abstracts will be reviewed by the workshop organizers. In addition, all workshop participants will be encouraged to share their papers with all other participants, in order to generate feedback. In addition, we will share during the workshop relevant references, theories, case studies, data sources, etc. that might be supportive for the further development of the papers. Overall, we aim at creating a constructive environment for developing sound ideas in preparation for a scholarly contribution.
Workshop participants will be offered an opportunity to submit their contributions to this Special Issue in BAS. A full call for papers can be found on the journal.
