Dubai, April 27-29, 2012 The International conference on Business and Knowledge Management & Doctoral Symposium will take place at the Holiday Inn Bur Dubai- Embassy District from April 27-29, 2012. The conference is dedicated to research and best practice within the business and knowledge management areas. The call for papers/abstracts is now open.

About the conference

The international conference is a place for researchers, academics, and practitioners alike to come together and share their knowledge, research and best practices. The conference is open to all areas of business and knowledge management, including but not limited to: Management, Accounting, Marketing, Finance, Human Resource Management, Information Technology Management, Operations Management, Information Systems, Economics, Electronic Commerce, etc.

Journal Publication

Full papers accepted for the conference will be published in a special issue of The International Journal of Innovations in Business. The previous CIBMP conferences have been sponsored by various journals including The International Journal of Online Marketing and the International Journal of Finance and Management, both of which published papers from the conference.

Doctoral Symposium

Doctoral researchers (PhD scholars) are strongly encouraged to attend and participate in the doctoral symposium which is being held concurrently. The doctoral symposium offers PhD scholars the opportunity to share their research or ideas with other like-minded individuals and get feedback. You can submit an abstract of your research. The research can be in any stage of the process. You will benefit from getting feedback on your work, meeting other students who may be doing similar work and the opportunity to network with people from all across the globe.

Quick paper selection process

All papers are blind peer reviewed. However, we endeavor to get back to you in the shortest possible time frame. The conference works on a first come, first reserve basis. Once a paper has been submitted, it will be sent off to reviewers. If the paper passes the criteria for selection, i.e. it gets enough marks from the reviewers, a notification will be sent immediately. Hence, there is no need to wait for deadlines, and you as the author will get a reply in a short period of time, allowing you to make appropriate arrangements for your travel, etc.

Online presentations

For those speakers who are unable to attend the conference physically, you can still have your paper published! We will allow you to make an online presentation. You can send us your presentation and/or a video, which will then be uploaded to the site. This will allow you to have a paper published, and get feedback! Please contact us if you have any issues in getting to Dubai, and would like to arrange an online presentation. You can get in touch with us at s.kowkab@cibmp.org.
