The ASC Annual Conference

The ASC Annual Conference

Since 1990, the annual Conference has been bringing together leaders from business, government, and academia to share and discuss ideas, to reflect on experiences and approaches, and to strengthen the spirit of cooperation and collaboration for improved competitiveness. Papers dealing with national, regional, and global strategies related to the themes suggested on the back page are welcome. Panels and symposia that highlight emerging theories, cutting-edge research or best corporate practices are also sought. Special consideration will be given to papers, abstracts, and symposia proposals that facilitate exchange between scholars and practitioners. In addition, proposals for panels will be considered.

All accepted papers will be published in the Society’s Annual Research Volume — Competition Forum (listed in the Cabell’s Directory and on several online databases such as EBSCO). At least one author is required to attend the conference. Highly competitive papers are invited for publication in one of the other journals sponsored by the Society– Advances in Competitiveness Research and Competitiveness Review.

The deadline for the receipt of submitted papers and abstracts for the Annual Conference is around July 15 of each year. To facilitate the blind peer review process, the first page should include: Title of paper, authors’ name(s), institutional affiliation(s), and phone and fax numbers. The second page should repeat the paper title but should contain no information that would identify author or institution. Publication style guidelines of the American Psychological Association may be used. Please mail four copies (or e-mail 1 copy) of the paper, abstract or panel/ symposium proposal to:
