ICI 2020 Bad Nauheim May 11-14: Collective Intelligence
The ICI and the Journal of Intelligence Studies in Business (JISIB) whole-heartedly invite you to submit your proposal!
3.1. Call for Papers
Academics in Competitive and Market Intelligence (CI/MI) have long studied how organizations obtain the best information needed to make sound strategic decisions. However they may not have looked sufficiently into intra-employees cooperation and utilization of machines to obtain similar results.
Collaboration and collective efforts have always been important in business. Nowadays systems and technologies enable theses processes efficiently providing unique opportunities. Some companies call this notion their collective IQ, others refer to Collective Intelligence (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collective_intelligence). This call is open to researchers in all disciplines with relevance to Collective Intelligence: technology, business, sociology, political science and law.
All full text research papers accepted for the conference will be published in the Journal of Intelligence Studies in Business (JISIB). It is also possible to present papers in the making and we have poster sessions.
Besides papers on collective intelligence we also accept papers on topics in competitive, market and business intelligence.
Topics for this academic conference
Collective intelligence
Collective IQ
Collective Behaviour
Computational collective intelligence
Networks of trust
Open Source Intelligence
But also
Competitive Intelligence
Market intelligence
Business intelligence
