TOPICS

MICA-2024 would like to invite scholars and practitioners to provide insights into how marketing could find meaning in a hyperconnected world. Accelerated advances in technology have resulted in a hyperconnected world which is characterized as pervasive access to information and continuous multidimensional interconnection among humans and devices regardless of time and space. While the hyperconnected world presents marketers with unprecedented opportunities to connect with customers, it has inadvertently created new challenges such as data privacy, social isolation, cyber-security, and well-being deficit. The MICA-2024 conference invites submissions (English only) that discuss the state of marketing in a hyperconnected world as well as its responsibilities to create genuine human connections and sustainable value for customers, firms, and society as a whole. Topics that the conference encourages to exchange and discuss include (but are not limited to):
