Detailed CALL FOR PAPERS:Global Sales Science Institute (GSSI) Conference 2021Yin and the Yang: Exploring the Bright and the Dark Sides of Selling and Sales ManagementJune 7th-9, 2021 in Toronto, CanadaIn Ancient Chinese philosophy, the Yin and Yang are used to describe how seemingly opposite or contrary forces may actually be complementary, interconnected, and interdependent in the natural world, and how they may interrelate and give rise to each other. Such contrary forces are often present in sales environments, especially during uncertain times like the ones we are currently experiencing, and can act synergistically or antagonistically.
