IMP Conference 2025 – Learning from the past – interacting for the future

The IMP Group is an informal, international network of hundreds of scholars who approach marketing, purchasing, innovation, technological development, and management from an interactive perspective in a B2B context.
The group was formed in the mid-1970s as a transnational research project on “Industrial Marketing and Purchasing” by a group of European researchers representing five European countries. (More information can be found on: impgroup.org)
 
Call for papers
The conference with its theme, Learning from the past – interacting for the future, invites courageous research that, through the lenses of the IMP research tradition, take on current and future societal challenges in light of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). The IMP Group relies on three main features: (1) a dynamic approach to economic exchange, (2) empirically driven research on inter-organizational interactions, and (3) an informal network of researchers forming a vibrant international community (impgroup.org).
