The aim of LTAS is to introduce young scholars, including PhD students, to the wonderful world of service research and guide them through their academic journey.
This year the theme is โFinding the Sweet Spot of your Research Impactโ. The aim of LTAS2024 is to provide participants with a deeper understanding of what it means to make an impact through research. Weโll explore what impact means for each individual and how to enhance the impact of research in different ways and the challenges along the way.
Next to experienced academic coaches, editors of various journals will discuss their view on impact and how it has shaped their own research. These include:
ยท Stephanie Noble, Editor-in-Chief Journal of the Academy of Marketing Science
ยท Peeter Verlegh, Editor-in-Chief Journal of Interactive Marketing
ยท Dipayan Biswas, Co-Editor-in-Chief Journal of Business Research
ยท Martin Wetzels, Co-Editor Journal of Service Research

Don't mind the gap: co-creating impact in the ecosystem of BISCI.
Adriana: As a person with academic experience, I want to take the chance to make a significant impact by connecting academia with industry, fostering research and educational development, and contributing to cutting-edge projects in supply chain management...We actively contribute to the ongoing transformation of businesses by promoting innovation and sustainable alternatives. We advocate for a shift in the R&D mindset, emphasising the importance of designing joint initiatives that generate both business and scientific impact. Recognising the significance of education, we prioritise the development of future leaders who possess the necessary knowledge and insights for driving sustainable transitions, particularly the shift from a linear to a circular economy.
Gerwin: We're in this together: business, R&D, education, government and society, starting from the belief that we need to change, collaborate and innovate...Most societal challenges we face are complex and multi-dimensional; think of respecting the planetary boundaries of our global economy, the challenges of transition towards a circular economy, and the challenge of reaping the benefits of digital transformation without opening the doors for misuse. I'm pretty convinced supply chain management plays a crucial role in guiding these transitions in the right direction and accelerating the merits of these transitions for the sake of humanity and our planet.
