Call for Papers - The sixth annual Global Sales Science Institute (GSSI) Conference will be held at Turku University of Applied Sciences in Turku, Finland on June 13-15, 2012. As technology continues to flatten the global marketplace, instantaneous access to information prompts business and consumers to engage with products and companies at higher levels. Such increased involvement coupled with opportunities to co-create value during the sales exchange results in a society that is more fully participative in the sales process. Moving far beyond the exchange of goods and services, the co-creation of value during the sales and communications processes has challenged traditional views of selling and creates new opportunities for sales research, practice and education.
