The 6th Advances in Management and Innovation Conference 2022
Cardiff School of Management, Cardiff Metropolitan University, Cardiff
(19-20 May 2022/A Hybrid Event)
Conference Theme: Sustainable business innovations for the future: Lessons learnt from COVID-19
The emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic created a global disruption that forced many organisations in different industries to innovate their business at speed. The pandemic created a context marked by reliance upon emergent strategies rather than planned changes involving a pivot to new business innovations and operational practices. For some organisations and thought leaders, this was seen as a disruptive innovation opportunity or a challenge to transform existing business models through innovation to support business processes that were not considered a high priority earlier. The incremental or radical transformations of existing business models redefined by innovations aimed to ensure continuity and improve business activities during the pandemic, but indeed without the benefits of past experience, such risky business transformations seemed to be a daunting task given the uncertainty surrounding the nature, timing, and scale of the efforts. Thus, it is a matter of great interest for researchers, practitioners and diverse stakeholders in various industries to understand what, when and how innovations were introduced into businesses to mitigate the challenges of pandemic situations and whether these innovations would successfully sustain the businesses in the future. Keeping this in mind, the 2022 Advances in Management and Innovation Conference (AMI22) invites researchers and practitioners to present and report their research and experiences around the theme of business and management innovations in the context of different industries during the pandemic to extend the knowledge gained during the transition, for future sustenance.
*Please note that AMI2022 will be a hybrid event. This means participants can take part either on-site at Cardiff Metropolitan University or remotely.

AMI 2022 - Paper Development Workshop
AMI 2022- Paper Development Workshops (PDWs) are designed to provide authors with guidance and expertise in developing their manuscripts for potential submission to reputed journals. The workshops will include presentations about the individual journal by members of that journal's editorial team and roundtable discussions that focus on providing authors with practical and developmental feedback aimed at strengthening and improving their papers for submissions.
Participants at the AMI 2022 conference are welcome to apply to participate in the PDWs. To apply:
- The authors must agree to the abstract being shared with, and discussed in, a small group of participants arranged by the workshop facilitators;
- The main author must be willing and able to provide a short (5-minute maximum) overview of the paper to others in the workshop;
- A commitment to contribute to the whole workshop if your paper has been accepted.
A maximum of 8 submissions will be accepted for the PDWs, and the process is competitive. However, there will also be a general ‘meet the editors’ session at the conference, which will be open to all, where there will be an opportunity to ask questions and seek guidance on general points.
