Abstract and submission details

Karlshochschule International University is organizing an international conference on “Narratives and Innovation” with the aim to bring together scholars and practitioners from different contexts to discuss about the topic. The conference forms part of an interpretive approach towards business administration, strategic management, and entrepreneurship, by introducing instruments of semiotics, linguistics, narratology, and others. The topic of the conference therefore is open to a bundle of scientific and industrial perspectives.

Particularly desired are papers about the topics of the conference which cover any subject in the broader field of narrative and innovation.

Three types of contributions are welcome
1. Presentation
2. Poster
3. Panel

1. Presentation
Presentations should not extend duration of 20 minutes. Please send in an abstract (one page, word-document).

2. Poster
If you do not want to present a communication but to discuss your project, please send in a proposal for a poster. During the conference there will be a time slot for poster presentations.

3. Panel suggestions
We provide an opportunity to hand in suggestions for panels. A panel is meant to be an open space discussion or a debate about specific topics related to the conference's subject. Your abstract (one page, word-document) should include the topic of the panel, a short description of its objectives, the name of the panel chair and potential participants (at least three persons). Panels should not extend duration of 120 minutes.
