About the conference

E- and M-Business is a highly innovative field, which is exposed to constant development and change. This year, the first International Workshop on Entrepreneurship in Electronic and Mobile Business is launched as an initiative for researchers to discuss upcoming trends and current challenges within research and the resulting managerial implications from different perspectives. We welcome both conducted studies and work in progress. We are expecting 15-20 papers presented at the workshop.

IWEMB 2017 is a joint initiative of the Center of Advanced E-Business Studies (CAEBUS) at the RheinMain University of Applied Sciences in Wiesbaden, Germany, and the International College of the National Institute of Development and Administration (ICO NIDA) in Bangkok, Thailand. We want to offer a platform for researchers in the fields of E- and Mobile-Business in order to generate relevant new insights within an international exchange of ideas.
