Call for Papers
Third International Conference on Software Business
June 18-20, 2012, MIT, Cambridge, Massachusetts
http://www.icsob.org
Theme: Innovation and Entrepreneurship in the Software Business
---------------------------------------------------------------
Advancements in the software industry have had a substantial impact not 
only on productivity and on GDP growth globally, but also on our daily 
work and life. Software business refers to commercial activities in the 
software industry, aimed at generating income from the delivery of 
software products and software services. Although the software business 
shares common features with other international knowledge-intensive 
businesses, it carries many inherent features making it a challenging 
domain for research. In particular, software companies have to depend on 
one another to deliver a unique value proposition to their customers. 
New developments like Apps that run on pre-existing platforms have 
emerged as a major force and are creating what is being labeled as the 
App Economy.
