Welcome Participants,
Welcome to the 14th IAMB conference of the
International Academy of Management and Business that took place on January
21-23, 2013 in San Antonio, Texas, USA..
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 from 20 countries around the world, covering over 40 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.
