Welcome
Participants,
Welcome
to the 8th IAMB Summer conference of the International Academy of
Management and Business that took place on June 28-30, 2010, in Complutense University of Madrid, Madrid, Spain.
The
theme of the conference was “Business Management in a Market Oriented World.”
There were two keynote presentations: “Doing Business in Football: Managers'
Perspectives and Future Developments” by Francisco Roca and General Director of
the Spanish Football League and Julio Rojo, Head of
Business Development. The second “Santander is you: An Engaging Program to live
up to its Reputations in 10 Languages, 40 Countries and 170.000 Employees” by Almudena Rodríguez Tarodo,
Director of Learning, Knowledge and Development, Santander Bank (Spain). IAMB
extends its gratitude and appreciation for their outstanding and well received
presentations.
The
conference provided a platform for professionals, practitioners, academics,
educators and researchers in the various fields of management and business to
disseminate and share the latest research, knowledge and experiences. The
conference hosted scholars over 30 countries around the world, covering over 45
universities, academic institutions and businesses. The friendly atmosphere,
the one on one opportunity for exchange and networking, and the multi-national
exposure were cited among the top benefits from conference attendees.
About IAMB
Our
goal is to bring scholars from various fields of management and facilitate
meaningful interactions. Hopefully this will lead to professional development
opportunities for scholars and practitioners in management and business. IAMB
fosters a small conference setting (under 200 participants) with multi-national
delegates.
