______________________________________________________________________________
Nord University is delighted to host the 29th Annual CIMaR Conference in Bodø, Norway 22-25 June 2020. The 2020 conference theme is
Sustainable International Business Strategies and Practices. As the 29th conference, we will continue the tradition of combining excellent research with collegial hospitality by hosting this conference at
Nord University in
the beautiful area of Bodø. Bodø is located just north of the Arctic Circle and surrounded with spectacular
nature, just 75 minutes by plane from Oslo. Based in Bodø, you can experience the 24-hour day-light and the midnight sun. An iconic excursion in Bodø is a
RIB-Safari to Saltstraumen,
the world strongest tidal current. In addition to the spectacular views and excitement of the boat-ride itself, you can get a view of the white-tailed Eagles hunting for prey (fish).
CIMaR has served as an informal and effective networking community for international marketing scholars, and new participants
are always welcome. Participants originate from over 20 countries and include doctoral students. For nearly three decades, CIMaR has provided an excellent platform for both established and junior scholars to exchange ideas and form lasting research collaborations.
Sessions are organized for both completed research and new project proposals that are under development.
Sustainable International Business Strategies and Practices
We are looking for contributions that can build on this theme as they address both
contextual problems and conceptual frameworks and data collection issues related to international marketing. Among the contextual areas, we focus on Tourism/experience economy,
small business strategies, international marketing and natural resources, global value chains, SMEs as well as large companies’ internationalisation processes, the digitalisation and international marketing.
All identifying information should be contained in a separate file with the names and affiliations of all authors. Manuscripts should follow
the style guidelines of the Journal of International Marketing
and be submitted with the understanding that they are original, unpublished works and are not being reviewed elsewhere. A "Best Competitive Paper" will be
selected by the CIMaR 2020 Advisory Board.
Publication Opportunities
Accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings in digital format. Authors can choose to publish either their full manuscripts
or extended abstracts in the proceedings and should indicate this preference when first submitting their work.
S. Tamer Cavusgil Best Paper Award
As in the past, the overall best conference paper will be honored with the
S. Tamer Cavusgil Best Paper Award, in honor of CIMaR co-founder, Professor S. Tamer Cavusgil, Georgia State University. The winner will be announced at the conference dinner on Wednesday, 24 June 2020, and the author(s) of the best paper will receive

Helpful Travel Information
The 29th Annual CIMaR Conference in Bodø, Norway will officially commence on Monday, 22 June 2020. We recommend participants plan to
arrive that morning or the evening before. Participants should go ahead and make travel arrangements as soon as possible. We suggest flying into Norway through either Oslo or Bergen and connecting to Bodø from there. The biggest airlines that fly into Bodø
are Norwegian Air Shuttle (Norwegian) and Scandinavian Airlines (SAS). While there are multiple daily flights into Bodø, the aircrafts from Bergen are relatively small with typical maximum capacity around 50 passengers. Planning and early booking should not
only offer a cost benefit, but also help alleviate additional travel challenges. Additional information about visiting Bodø can be found
here.
