Integrated management systems have come to the forefront of the current business environment. Understanding the influence of one subsystem on another and understanding system level implications have become crucial for the advancement of business and policy research and practice. Network science provides an important set of theoretical and empirical tools to understand and model the behavior of individual, firm-level and institution-level actors.

The focus of the conference is on theoretical modeling and data-oriented analysis of networks. The conference invites researchers working on cutting edge network science and its applications in business management and policy studies, broadly defined.

We are open to empirical, theoretical and conceptual works which deal with important issues in management ranging from marketing, information systems, economics, strategy, public policy and finance.

Indicative topics (not necessarily limited to):

1. Social networks
2. Inter- and intra-firm networks
3. Financial networks
4. Economic networks
5. Games on networks
6. Statistical analysis of networks
7. Technological networks
