Personal Message from the Conference Chair
Data are the fundamental ingredients for finding solutions to society's challenges and, particularly, for business management. Finding the best methodologies to use these data in studies that allow improving the management of organizations is a priority for researchers. However, a question continues challenging researchers: What are the best research methodologies? At the ECRM 2023 which will take place at Iscte - University Institute of Lisbon, in Portugal, we encourage researchers, students, entrepreneurs, and all those who believe they can contribute to expanding knowledge in this research area, to share and develop knowledge that may contribute to answer this question and to improve the topic.
