Call for Papers: Emergent drivers of shared business models in globalizing ecosystems
September 23-25, 2009
Jyväskylä, Finland

EBRF is an innovative, border-crossing research conference created in 2001 to understand business in knowledge society and to build a dedicated scholarly community representing a wide spectrum of perspectives. The 9th EBRF Conference calls for people from different backgrounds to present either fresh ideas or completed research, all in the spirit of building fruitful research co-operation across organizational boundaries and scientific disciplines.
In 2009, EBRF is paying special attention to the multiple facets of doing business in global
ecosystems. This calls for fitting methods, values, codes of conducts, systems, best practices and
entrepreneurial spirit to meet the rapidly evolving requirements of customers as well as all other stakeholders. We specifically ask the writers not only to suggest new solutions, but also to connect the ideas to the past 10 years of development in the fields of eBusiness and eServices to understand the fundamental drivers of the present and future phenomena.
