A friendly, intimate conference. International in scope, with scholars coming from various countries including Australia, Japan, Kuwait, India, the Netherlands, Belgium, Canada, the US, etc. While some link to business and/or economics issues is desirable, this academic conference welcomes papers concerning how internatonal business and trade matters affect the lives of people. Ethics, environmental, legal, cultural (and other related) topics also encouraged. Proceedings, best paper, and a journal tie-in. Come see Wisconsin's autumn in all its glory!
