Welcome Participants,

 

Welcome to the 17th IAMB conference of the International Academy of Management and Business that took place on April 7 - 9, 2014 at the Nove de Julho University, UNINOVE, São Paulo, Brazil. IAMB extends its gratitude and appreciation for the outstanding hospitality of UNINOVE and the collaboration and support from the University of São Paulo, School of Economics, Business Administration and Accounting, São Paulo, Brazil.

 

The theme of the conference was: “Entrepreneuring Innovation and Excellence in Global Business”

 

This conference was the first IAMB conference in Latin America. 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 25 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. 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.
