AIM OF HE CONFEENCEThe IBC 2011 conference has two main goals. The first goal is to provide an international platform for the

developments in a turbulent business arena. The second goal is to provide the opportunity for academics,

practitioners and doctoral students to have their work validated and benchmarked within the benevolent

academic and professional community.

The conference was accredited in 2008 by the Department of Education. The 2009 and 2010 conferences areundergoing the accredition process currently. There is a 2-year waiting period at the Department.
