공지사항

Dear ASIALICS Korea members,

 

I hope this email finds you well.

 

I want to introduce to you three international conferences on innovation studies in Tsinghua University, Beijing, China. I hope you or your colleagues/PhD students can take participant in them.

 

Journal publications

Three journals are jointly to call for papers for these conferences. Selected papers can be published in these journals:

(1)                     Asian Journal of Technology Innovation is a SSCI indexed, multi-disciplinary journal devoted to the exploration of innovation policy and management problems posed by these players and their interaction with economic, social and political processes. The journal was created by the Korean Society for Innovation Management and Economics (KOSIME) and Asia Association of Learning, Innovation and Coevolution Studies (ASIALICS).

Asian Journal of Technology Innovation is preparing for a special issue of “platform economics”. Anyone interested in this topic are also welcome to submit your paper to the three conferences in Tsinghua University. A workshop related to this special issue will be announced to paper submitters of the conferences soon.

(2)                     Prometheus is a UK journal. It publishes papers on innovation and change more generally. It is that rarest of things, a critical academic journal, and one that goes out of its way to help and encourage authors. It is published by Taylor & Francis and is now in its 35th year.

(3)                     International Journal of Innovation Studies is a newly founded journal by the Tsinghua University and Chinese Academy of Sciences. The first issue is planned to be published in Jan 2017.

In order to describe this phenomenon, in 1986 he introduced the term lead user.
