The program of the congress is designed to impact business communities, public policy makers, and academicians, through a balance of presentations on academic and practitioner issues covering the whole range of global business. The congress will include keynote addresses, formal paper symposia, and special sessions and panels, such as Meet the Editors and panels on various contemporary global business issues.
