2024 SuHang Conference on

Responsible Research in Marketing and Digital Economy


The proliferation of digital technologies, big data, and artificial intelligence has transformed how we live. However, this surge in digitization brings both promises (e.g., personalization, innovation, productivity) and perils (e.g., biases, privacy concerns, misinformation) for business and society. This demands responsible research in business and management that “produces useful and credible knowledge addressing problems important to business and society” (Community for Responsible Research in Business and Management, 2017, p.1). Importantly, marketing scholarship, with its historical societal focus since the 1960s (e.g., Kotler and Levy, 1969), holds unique potential as a catalyst for creating a better world (Chandy et al., 2021; Sridhar et al., 2023).1,2,3


Inspired by the vision of responsible research in marketing and the transformative impact of digitization, Zhejiang Gongshang University and Soochow University will jointly host a conference on “Responsible Research in Marketing and Digital Economy.” This conference aims to inspire, encourage, and support responsible research at the intersection of digital marketing, artificial intelligence, and society. It will feature exemplary research from top journal editors and rising stars in marketing. The conference will be hosted in Hangzhou and Suzhou (SuHang), often praised as “Paradise in heaven, Suzhou and Hangzhou on earth.” Suzhou and Hangzhou are renowned for their history, stunning scenery, and spectacular ancient gardens.
