Call for Papers

 

Research Innovations in Sustainable Marketing (RISM 2023) is the first global online symposium that brings together scholars and practitioners who want to share their insights on successful integration of the triple bottom line – economic success, environmental stewardship, and supply chain equity – across the marketing function from new product development to post-consumption. The symposium will be held virtually across three days from Tuesday, March 14 – Thursday, March 16, 2023. In addition to a well-known keynote speaker and concurrent sessions, RISM2023 will hold roundtable discussion sessions to facilitate connections among scholars and practitioners with similar research interests. RISM 2023 is endorsed by business schools around the world and will provide a unique opportunity to build global ties among individuals who are committed to environmental stewardship and sustainable marketing.

The RISM Organizing Committee is interested in receiving abstracts (800 word limit) as well as fully developed manuscripts (10,000 word limit). All submissions will be double blind reviewed. Accepted manuscripts will be eligible* for publication in the Journal of Sustainable Marketing (JSM). Accepted abstracts will be published in the RISM2023 Proceedings and will be available online. Conceptual, qualitative, and quantitative research submissions along with case studies are welcome.  

The online symposium will begin each day at 13:00 GMT and will end at 16:00 GMT in order to accommodate as many time zones around the world as is feasible. Financial support from the Shidler College of Business at the University of Hawai‘i enables RISM2023 to offer free registration for Symposium attendees.

*: The final decision on acceptance/rejection for publication in the journal of Sustainable Marketing is by the journal editor and not by track chairs
