Research Conference
Research Conference
The 1st GSBS Research Conference on Social Business will be held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia on 5th & 6th November 2013 to coincide with the 5th annual Global Social Business Summit. During the first four summits, we have progressed from having a meeting of academics through to specific pre-conference Academia Meetings in 2011 and 2012, and encourage participation of those who have contributed to these events so far.
This conference is aimed at all researchers working on social business or related areas, the main aims of the conference being to:
- stimulate an inter-disciplinary and international research community around this area of growing international
significance; and - enhance capacity, quality and recognition of research in social business.
We are looking forward to contributions from a variety of areas of scientific enquiry related to social business. More information about the GSBS Research Conference on Social Business can be found in the agenda below and at www.rcsb2013.com.
