Last Call for the Journal of Business Research (special issue-GIKA Conference) The deadline for full papers is February 15th, 2014. Conference theme: Spirit of Strategy (SOS): the New S.O.S. for Competitive Business. Feedback and Q&A sessions, including suggestions from editors of international journals attending the Conference, will help the authors publish their papers. Each edition of the GIKA Conference offers the chance to publish in the JBR with a special issue edition containing the best papers from the Conference. In GIKA 2014 we will be following a similar process, with papers being published in 2015. In addition to paper presentation sessions, paper symposiums, and plenary speech sessions by top international scholars, the Conference provides new programs such as a pre-conference research methodology workshop (by Professor Arch Woodside), a keynote speech (by Gerd Gigerenzer; Dr. Gigerenzer has 30,000+ citations and an h-index of 74) and a meet-the-editor session on how to publish in the Journal of Business Research (JBR) by the journal’s editor, Arch. Meanwhile, the Conference also welcome teaching case studies and research case studies. The 2014 GIKA Conference will be held in Valencia, Spain from 7 July to 10 July 2014. Valencia is a beautiful city (please visit http://www.turisvalencia.es/en/plan-your-trip-to-valencia/general- info/tourist-info for more details) with many fascinating historical monuments, excellent cuisine and a lively Mediterranean atmosphere. July and August are the most popular months for residents to spend their summer break, often taking the chance to enjoy the city’s beaches. The Conference welcomes researchers from all over the world. Some top important scholars will be prepared to share their advice for your development at GIKA 2014.
