The International Journal of China Marketing is proposed by a group of scholars who believe that given the fast growing business in China it is necessary to have a platform to share ideas and knowledge about marketing in China. Currently there is no international academic journal about marketing in China.
This is the definitive international journal published biannually for practitioners and academicians interested in marketing in China and study about China. It provides essential reading for those who need to keep in touch with the ever-evolving facets of marketing practices and theories in China. Practitioners and scholars from various disciplines apply theories, methods, and skills to identify, to study, and to provide the solutions to all kinds of marketing problems in China that are faced by all kinds of business organizations, from the small scale family-run stores to the large corporations.
Our journal is dedicated to the advancement and dissemination of business and marketing knowledge by publishing, through a double-blind refereed process, ongoing results of research in accordance with international scientific and scholarly standards. Articles are written by business leaders, policy analysts, and active researchers for an audience of specialists, practitioners and students.
Our journal publishes:
· Practice papers: Addressing the issues confronting marketing practitioners in industry, consultancy and government
· Case Studies: What the issue was, what was done, what the outcome was, and what could have been done differently
· Research: From the leading business schools and research institutes

Call for papers and projects
Participation advanced to an influential concept in matters of design and planning by 1970 at the latest. The interest in equal participation in design was founded on a complex mixture of system and planning theories, futurology, cross-disciplinary methods discourses, civil rights and student movements, and a general change in environmental and social consciousness. This contrasted with an increasingly hostile perceived world of things, technology-oriented product development, automation and computerization. The wish to have a say in the planning and design of the future (environmental) world emerged.
As a result, a series of productive design practices developed, as well as theories in which the participation of all stakeholders was the focus. Thereby, the role of the designer was questioned in a productive manner. While approaches such as “user-centered design” were still content with placing concrete user needs in the center of design processes, which were nevertheless carried out by designers and other experts, participatory design required the involvement and mutual decision-making of users and other “stakeholders.” The discipline has subsequently developed in theory and practical methods, which should facilitate such participation in the design process.
This initiative is currently receiving new opportunities, e.g. via the global network, crowd-sourcing, open-source and open-innovation movement, or via customizable mass production and rapid manufacturing. Simultaneously however, the participatory design approach is confronted with the accusation of being based on an idealized, occasionally unreflected understanding of democracy and social participation. For example, alleged collectively made decisions are marginalized in that they can be the results of unequal power relations. The perhaps substantial role of the client in the design practice is also rarely examined, whose objectives sometimes greatly differ from the interests of the users. Also, the profession of the designers claims to be able to anticipate and design concepts that satisfy future needs more appropriately than others. Accordingly, the wish for equitable design is not only afflicted with high hopes but also with a series of ambivalent
questions: By which mechanisms will users of design products become stakeholders? How will implicit imbalances in power in participatory design be addressed? Who may participate in the design of the world and environment? Or to paraphrase Lucius Burckhardt: Who designs design?
The 8th annual DGTF Conference would like to combine and present contributions on the practice, theory and history of participatory design, and discuss them in reference to current design research. Within this context, projects from a research-based design practice are also especially welcome.
We are looking for high quality, innovative contributions on the following (and other) aspects:
• On current theory formation in the field of participatory design
• On specific practices, methods and strategies that are applied in participatory design
• On the significance of participation in practice-based design research
• On the relationship between participatory design and user-centered design
• On the historical development and intellectual, social and technical influences, which shaped the concept and practices of participatory design.
>>> Abstracts (4,000-6,000 characters including spaces plus bibliographical references) on the topic can be submitted on our conference website www.dgtf.de/conftool until May 23, 2011.
A publication of the chosen contributions in book form in the DGTF theory-series ( http://www.transcript-verlag.de) is planned for 2012.
>>> Poster presentations
Research projects, PhD projects and initial research results related to the conference theme may also be presented as a poster (DIN A0: 841 × 1189 mm). Please submit an abstract of your poster (2000-3000 characters including spaces plus references) until May 9, 2011.
