Call for Papers
This academic conference is initiated as a response to the emerging and fast-growing trends in Economics and Business management with a particular focus on analytical approaches, data-driven decision making, digital transformation and disruptive innovations in IT. HSE SEM having a pronounced expertise in analytics sees its role in connecting scholars and business practitioners worldwide.

By contributing to this event, you will become a valuable part of the developing international academic network.
Together we will encourage discussion, explore the development of new data-driven economy and share our ideas with the most prominent experts in academia and business. Furthermore, AMEC 2019 organizes a special platform for young researchers. The PhD workshop held in the pre-conference days, on September 26-27, is a unique opportunity for academic beginners to discuss their studies with peers as well as distinguished professors and receive classes on advanced quantitative methods in business economics and management.
The scope of the conference is topically broad but places an emphasis on analytics and data. Should you have an interesting data setting or research question which requires in-depth empirical study do not hesitate to submit your proposal and contribute to AMEC 2019.
Academic research papers, case studies and work-in-progress are all welcome, while PhD Research, proposals for panel discussions, non-academic contributions and product demonstrations based on the main themes are also encouraged.

Panel Session
The first session “Business Education towards Industry 4.0” is supported by one of the leading international graduate programmes network QTEM (Quantitative Techniques in Economics and Management). The discussion is by Bruno van Pottelsberghe, chairman and dean of QTEM.

At the session, editors of these journals will address important issues relevant both for young and more experienced researchers: how to choose the most appropriate outlet for their future publication, how to build effective communication with editors and reviewers, how to promote your research after publication and encourage a potential reader, how to build your academic brand and increase awareness in the research field.
