The European Conference of Research Methodology for Business and Management Studies (ECRM 2008) invites researchers, academics and people from business to come together to listen, discuss and present their research, views and knowledge.

This is the 7th year of the conference and it will be held in Regent’s Park, London, UK. London is renowned as one of the most important financial, intellectual, cultural and administrative centres of the world. It is also one of the most important centres for business and management. Consequently it is a hub of commercial and intellectual activity and provides an ideal context for ECRM 2008.

Regent’s College is a higher education college situated in Regent’s Park in the heart of London. It is home to approximately 2000 students. The majority of these students are undergraduates and postgraduate students from outside the UK. The College has a diverse student body from 100 different countries and so it has a strong multi-cultural flavour.

The Business and Management faculty are particularly interested in applied research that addresses a wide variety of business and management issues. The conference venue within the College is new and is ideal for ECRM 2008. It has rooms in close proximity and modern facilities available for presenters and delegates.

In this location ECRM 2008 intends to build on the friendly, stimulating and formative reputation of this conference series.

We hope you find the conference a great experience and we warmly encourage you to join us at ECRM 2008!

Of special interest, a pre-conference workshop organised by Regents College London will take place on the 18 June. Click here for further details.
