We thus encourage papers in B2B issues in all facets: sustainable customer-supplier relationships, sustainable supply chains, sustainability and ethics, sustainable finance for sustainable marketing, developing sustainable suppliers networks to comply with B2C customer’s demand, sustainable innovations, managing sustainable brands with suppliers, reconsidering value co-creation with customers, new business models for a more sustainable world…
We also favor papers with a strong managerial impact.
