About the Cross Cultural Research Conference:
The conference began in 1981 as the "Cross Cultural Research Symposium"
in New Orleans at Tulane University under the direction of Professors
Charles Keown and Arch Woodside.
The conference was then held every 3
years in Honolulu until the 6th Symposium in Hong Kong, which marked the
move to biannual conferences and also the internationalization of the
conference. The conference will continue to alternate between Hawaii and a
non-U.S. site on a biannual basis. The 2005 conference was hosted at the Dorado Resort and Country Club in Puerto Rico.
The organization is dedicated to advancing relevant knowledge and
increasing the professional competence of individuals and institutions
that value the integration of cross-cultural skills and the development of
business activities for diverse cultures across the globe. The conference
is a forum for the presentation and application of research and related
scientific activities. The driving objective of the conference is to
foster Cross-Cultural Consumer and Business studies. The journal of Consumption, Markets and Culture has devoted a special issue to papers with a critical perspective. Negotiations are ongoing with a other journals for publication of selected papers from the conference, following a second round of reviews.
The Journal of Business Research, and Asia Pacific Journal of Marketing and Logistics have in the past published special issues that feature conference papers.
Please submit all proposals and
manuscripts to the appropriate regional coordinator:
