The current state of business in the world is one of rapid change and companies are opening up a new front in global competition. In particular, advances in information and communication technologies and data analytics are enabling new initiatives to be explored and are transforming innovation processes. The 10th International Conference on Systematic Innovation (ICSI) & the 9th Global Competition/Exhibition on Systematic Innovation will publicise theoretical and technological advances in all aspects of systematic innovation, which include but are not limited to product, process, and service innovations. The conference will contain plenary speeches/tutorials by world-renowned researchers/practitioners and parallel technical sessions. We believe the conference will foster networking and collaboration among the participants to advance theory and practice as well as to identify significant trends for innovation in an era of digitalisation. Free pre-conference tour: First 40 paid international registrants will be offered a free scenic/technical tour of Liverpool. Liverpool has many tourist attractions and is renowned for being a European cultural centre.
