Welcome Participants,

 

Welcome to the 18th IAMB conference of the International Academy of Management and Business that took place on September 17-19, 2014 at the Roma TRE University, Rome, Italy. IAMB extends its gratitude and appreciation for the outstanding hospitality of Roma TRE University and its Department of Business Studies.

 

The theme of the conference was: “Internal and External Challenges for Developing and Managing Global Synergies: Strategic and Operational Aspects for Services and Industries

 

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 over 30 countries around the world, covering over 50 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. Each submitted abstract/paper is peer reviewed and only accepted abstracts/papers were presented. Selected manuscripts will be published in the official journal of IAMB, the International Journal of Management and Business, IJMB.
