The 8th International CINet Conference 2007 will be held from 7-11 September 2007, in Gothenburg, Sweden. The theme of the conference is: "Continuous Innovation - Opportunities and Challenges".

Continuous innovation is the ongoing process of initiating, developing, operating and improving new and existing configurations of products, market approaches, processes, technologies and competencies, organisation and management systems. As organisations strive to achieve a synergistic balance between short-term oriented, operationally-effective exploitation strategies and longer-term, flexibility-oriented exploration strategies, the rapid growth of the global knowledge economy has placed learning at the centre of this critical balance.

The 8th International CINet Conference provides a forum for scholars and practioners to present and discuss what they see as the key opportunities and challenges related to continuous innovation.

Practitioners, academics and consultants involved in managing or studying innovation and change are invited to submit papers relevant to the conference theme and the various tracks listed above, or simply register for conference attendance to gain access to leading research outcomes in this key area.

Deadline abstract submission: 1 March 2007. More information can be found on the conference website.
