Many of the papers presented contribute significantly to the business knowledge base. Its Book of Proceedings is highly recognized and accepted to be under citation. Many papers are published in Special Issues in leading journals, and are driving international research and teaching programs.

We differentiate as we assist participants to network and publish their valuable work (see below: a. Publication Opportunities, b. Authors’ Network and Collaboration Workshop and c.
