The central theme of the conference is business innovation, especially in relation to technology. The conference will focus on the collaboration and application of creative mind-sets to support cross-fertilization of ideas between the worlds of business, science and the arts. A supporting theme of the conference is how best education can prepare students with the creative and problem solving skills that businesses need.
The aim of the conference is to provide a platform where practitioners from the fields of technology, business, the arts and education can come together to explore the potential synergies that will arise from pooling different perspectives on creativity for the purposes of creating more innovative and successful businesses. To reflect this, the conference will be organised around four themes, namely Technology, Innovation, Entrepreneurship and Education.
Scope & Topics
We call for research papers, practical reports or case studies from different disciplines that cover the following perspectives, and list some sample questions that authors may wish to address in their papers:
In the area of Technology:
• Technological change and development in engineering,
• Computer science and big data
• AI and mixed reality technology
• Internet of Things
• Future technology applications
For example, the following questions might be addressed:
- What is the impact of Internet of Things on changing future product development strategy?
- Might the advancement of artificial intelligence lead to the destruction of humanity?
- Will the development of robotics technology replace the human jobs? What are the implications and challenges for education, employability and the labour market following the maturity of robotic technology?
In the area of Innovation:
• The economics of science, research or R&D, and technology
• Policy and R&D management
• Organisational innovation: the resource-based view of firm, dynamic capabilities, absorptive capability, core competences and organisational learning
• Sociology of innovation: the diffusion of innovations, innovation and sustainability, environment policy
For example, the following questions might be addressed:
- How do we distinguish between 'innovation', 'adaption' and 'change'?
- What are the similarities and differences about the innovation process in large corporations and small firms?
- How can leaders motivate their staff to be creative and innovative?
- Are there golden rules of innovation?
In the area of Entrepreneurship:
• New venture creation: new opportunities in technological change, , creative marketing, product development, networking & resources.
• New venture funding and support: sources, innovation hubs and accelerator programmes
• Innovation and entrepreneurship: new technology-based product management, entrepreneurial orientation and innovation strategy, competitive advantage
• Creativity: employee creativity, creative process in organisations, methodologies and tools to promote and facilitate creative idea generation
• Firm growth and innovation: SMEs’ growth and development, innovation management and the role of technology in firm growth
For example, the following questions might be addressed:
- Do current government policies promote or handicap entrepreneurship?
- Are entrepreneurship process different in emerging markets?
- What factors are contributing to the growth of female entrepreneurship?
- What is the change in the resources needed for entrepreneurship in a Digital Age?
- Are the financial barriers to entrepreneurial start-up changed with the emergence of crowd funding networks? What are the challenges and implications to financial institutions?

In the area of Education:
• How to teach creativity to students?
• Effective approaches for teaching problem solving and entrepreneurship
• Pedagogical principles and methods in teaching entrepreneurial orientation and intention
• Cross discipline teaching methods and experiments
For example, the following questions might be addressed:
- Is creativity teachable? How do we measure creativity?
- How can we effectively teach the art elements of entrepreneurship, such as determination, tenacity and entrepreneurial orientation?
- How would we move from pedagogy to andragogy in cross disciplinary teaching?
- How effectively can we apply VR technology in teaching?
- Are there differences when we use VR to teach business & management or art students when compared with science and engineering groups?
