VCOBAM 2009 – 1st Virtual Conference on Business and Management
22-23 September 2009, Hosted by: U21 Global
The conference invites original contributions from researchers and thought leaders in academia as well as industry. It aims to provide an international forum for exchange of ideas and future trends amongst researchers, students,consultants and practitioners in business and management. As the conference is being organized online, delegates will save on travel time and all expenses related to conference meals, boarding and lodging – while still getting an opportunity to network with others, share their work and listen to others on a truly global scale.
The theme of the 2009 conference is Organisations and the Interactive Web. The Web has evolved from a read-only environment to a strong interactive medium where users have access to vast range of resources that can play an active role in updating its content. Enormous data and connectivity resulting from this evolution offers immense potential to change the competitive landscape of business. VCOBAM 2009 aims to bring out this emerging trend and explore the opportunities and challenges confronting organizations in this era.
