We invite submissions of papers for the 14th biennial conference on Behavioral Decision Research in Management (BDRM), to be held at the London Business School, London, UK, on July 17-19, 2014.

BDRM is the leading conference for behavioural research conducted in business schools. We encourage submissions of original work in all areas of behavioural research including, but not limited to, the areas of decision making, consumer behaviour, experimental and behavioural economics, decision analysis, behavioural finance, organizational behaviour, negotiation, behavioural strategy, behavioural operations research, behavioural accounting, and medical and legal decision making.

We are glad to announce the following keynote speakers:

George Loewenstein, Herbert A. Simon Professor of Economics and Psychology, Carnegie Mellon University

David Halpern, Director of the Cabinet Office Behavioural Insights Team (the ‘Nudge Unit’)

We are also announcing “The Greater Good” pre-conference in partnership with the Journal of Marketing Research, which will focus on behavioural decision research that can contribute to understanding and fixing pressing social needs. The pre-conference will take place at London Business School on July 17, 2014 and will end before the BDRM evening welcome reception.

“The Greater Good” pre-conference will have a maximum of 50 participants, will feature a single-track presentation format, and will focus on topics including, but not limited to, altruism, social responsibility, public policy, and consumer welfare.

In partnership with this pre-conference, the Journal of Marketing Research is planning a special section about research with social value. Paper submission to the special section is encouraged for all projects accepted to “The Greater Good” pre-conference.
