10th Nordic Workshop on Relationship Dynamics –
NoRD2018
September 19-21, 2018
The NoRD2018 organizers invite submissions to the 10th Nordic Workshop on Relationship
Dynamics. NoRD workshops are open to all researchers in the areas of Marketing and
Management (or related areas); the ‘Nordic’ title simply refers to the locations and people
organizing the workshops.
NoRD focuses on dynamics in buyer-seller relationships (both b-to-c and b-to-b relationships).
As a concept, relationship dynamics refers to any type of changes taking place in relationships;
their beginnings, their ups and downs, their endings, including ongoing efforts to stabilize
relationships.
The main purpose of the workshop is to give researchers at all levels (i.e. from doctoral students
to professors) interested in the field of relationship dynamics an opportunity to present, discuss,
and develop their research. An important feature of NoRD is that the papers to be presented
will be made available to the participants a week before the workshop. At NoRD, each
participant (and paper) will benefit from quite extensive comments from two discussants (who
have read the paper in advance) as well as other participants during 45 minutes’
presentation/discussion slot. NoRD appreciates all kinds of papers related to the relationship
dynamics theme, conceptual explorations, empirical studies, and literature reviews. NoRD
welcomes papers that are nearly there, but still need some help to jump over a journal
publication threshold and in particular work-in-progress papers. The fundamental purpose of
participating is not so much to present findings from concluded studies, but rather to embrace,
contribute to and benefit from a complex research topic, and to get help and new ideas and
inspiration.
In addition, to enhance co-operation and dissemination of ideas, NoRD includes teamwork on
specific themes that are of current interest (suggestions will be invited beforehand). The goal is
to generate new research themes and build research links around the challenging field of
relationship dynamics.
