Please note that identification of a theme by no means precludes submissions and presentations of papers not directly impacting the theme.

This conference provides a forum to discuss business and economic issues in a global context. Being multi-disciplinary in nature, the conference welcomes papers from different fields provided there is a demonstrated focus on international issues related to business and economics.

We encourage the submission of scholarly works that encompass all types of quality research. We welcome conceptual and theoretical papers, empirical studies, interpretive research, experimental research, practitioner-oriented studies and replications.

Examples of pertinent topics include: International trade and finance, multinational financial management, emerging markets, global marketing strategies, cross-cultural marketing and consumer research issues, service marketing across national borders, multiculturalism in the workplace, business ethics in the international context, and the internet in international business. Submissions, however, are not limited to these topics.
