In an effort to encourage research on the theory and practice of global business and facilitate the synergistic exchange of ideas, AGBR invites interested parties to submit full-length competitive papers, work-in-progress papers or special/panel session papers for presentation at the conference.

Papers must have a global orientation or deal with global issues related to the functional areas of business (e.g., accounting, economics, finance); service businesses (e.g., banking, information technology, education); or related disciplines (e.g., communication, political science, psychology).

Submissions should be sent to Dana Lascu via the AGBR website or via email dlascu@richmond.edu. 

The deadline for submission is Jan. 31, 2013.

All papers, case studies and proposals will undergo a double blind review process; full-length competitive papers and case studies selected for presentation at the Global Business Conference will be published in the conference proceedings, Global Business Frontiers, Volume 1.

The AGBR was founded by Ajay Manrai and Lalita Manrai, professors of marketing in UD’s Lerner College, in order to provide an outlet for the study of the inter-functional, interdisciplinary and inter-institutional forces shaping the developments in global business today.
