Meeting Description:

This conference aims to elicit debate on new modes, media, and practices in
business communication mirroring the evolving social and economic environment
in this digital age. Such evolutions require re-thinking tools, actors, and
audiences in business communication from local and global perspectives, along
with a revision of analytical perspectives.

Significant evolutions in business communication include:

- Changing modes of communication – offline/online shift in organizational and
business practices;
- Increasing salience of ethical issues in both business practices and
business communication;
- Changes in business communication teaching and training. 

The Covid-19 pandemic played a role in accelerating changes. An important
topic of investigation will be the shift online, as many practices and
communicative events have moved to innovative online approaches. While the
shift had already occurred for genres like advertising, financial reporting,
and business reporting, many others had to rapidly adapt. This complex overall
picture involves profound changes in extant and emerging business genres,
while the intensification of communication flows has determined forms of
contamination and hybridization between different organizational and
professional discourse communities.

Other crucial elements to be considered are the broader developments in
society, and in particular evolutions in predominant ethical and societal
values, attitudes, and beliefs, which bring both new ideas and new contents,
but often also involve profound changes in discursive practices and patterns
of interaction. An important aspect is the impact of these changes on the
teaching of business communication at different levels and in different
contexts. We invite contributions from scholars, teachers, and practitioners
from a variety of disciplines (including but not limited to),  such as
business studies, communication studies, and linguistics) to share their
findings and experiences.

A list of possible research topics: 
- Language identity, power, and leadership
- Culture, gender, and diversity in business communication 
- Crisis communication, trust repair, and legitimation
- CSR and sustainability 
- Advertising and brand management in digital discourse
- Social media discourse
- Cross-cultural and intercultural management
- Multimodal resources in business communication
- Computational linguistics
- Financial reporting
- Internal communication
- Employer branding and HR
- Research methodologies in business communication
- Quantitative / statistical textual analysis
- Interdisciplinary approaches to business communication
- English as a Lingua Franca in international business communication
- Learning and teaching business language and communication 
- English Medium Instruction (EMI) in the teaching and learning of business
communication
