Thus, we encourage your papers and proposals on topics that do not fit these topics. We encourage both orthodox and unorthodox submissions that connect markets, capitalism, entrepreneurship financial markets and business in general to the broader theme of socio-economic development. Types of Submission For this conference, ISMD will be accepting three types of submissions ? long abstracts, complete papers, and panel proposals (special sessions). As best as possible, your submissions should be defined to fit into one of the ten topical tracks. If you are having difficulty identifying the appropriate track for your submission, please contact the chair for the track closest to your paper?s perspective. As noted, if your idea is so radical that it does not fit any of the identified topic areas, please forward your submission to the special session track chairs. All submissions should be sent to the appropriate track chair(s) as an email attachment in MS WORD FORMAT by November 30, 2011. Papers must follow the JMM citation guidelines. If you have any questions, please contact the Conference Co-Chair, Sammy Bonsu ([log in to unmask]). Publication Opportunity - JMM Traditionally, ISMD conferences have made great efforts to create publishing opportunities for the best papers presented. The Journal of Macromarketing (JMM) is one of ISMD?s academic sponsors and has had a strong interest in the topic of markets, marketing, and development since its inception in 1981. JMM is considering a special issue based on the papers to be presented at ICMD-12. JMM encourages authors of the best and most relevant papers to submit developed versions of their papers for publication consideration in the Journal. All papers will be subject to the standard reviewing protocol of the Journal. ____ AIB-L is brought to you by the Academy of International Business.
