This workshop is dedicated to young researchers who are at the beginning of their scientific research career. The workshop welcomes papers from PhD candidates and young researchers with an interest in business administration or in economics, hence providing a unique platform to present innovative ideas, share insights, and engage in thought-provoking discussions. In addition, this workshop is not just a forum for presenting papers; it is an incubator for ideas that challenge conventional wisdom, propose novel frameworks, and contribute to the theoretical and practical advancement of business administration and economics. All the papers presented at the workshop will undergo initial screening by the chairs who will provide feedback to all submitting authors. Later, the best papers will be considered for the peer review process and publication in a dedicated ICESS volume, in case of paper acceptance.
