SUMMARY:International Conference on Business and Economic Development 
 (ICBED)
DESCRIPTION:International Conference on Business and Economic Developm
 ent (ICBED)\nCo-hosted by the\nAcademy of Business and Retail Manageme
 nt & Journal of Business and Retail Management Research\n\nFACTSOverv
 iew of the ConferenceThe world of business is undergoing a time of con
 siderable stress, change and in some sectors unprecedented growth. Muc
 h of the conventional wisdom concerning business education and theory 
 is being challenged and thus it is all the more important to endeavour
  to elucidate what is taking place. Economic certainties look increasi
 ngly vulnerable and existing formulas appear jaded and in some cases m
 oribund. Where once academics were fixated with global brands and mult
 i-nationals increasingly the role of SMEs is coming to the fore. Gover
 nments from Armenia to Somaliland are keen to find ways to stimulate b
 usiness and thus create local employment Regrettably the global econom
 ic crisis is increasingly used as an excuse for poor performance at al
 l levels thus limiting the search for routes out of it. It should not 
 be seen as a destroyer but as a purifier, ensuring the survival and pr
 osperity of the fittest. The business environment has changed and will
  be changing more than ever in years to come - some traditionally powe
 rful markets have weakened while others have grown, cultural and geogr
 aphical distances between people are shrinking, innovation in all aspe
 cts (technology, markets, finance, etc.) has become paramount for sust
 ainable competitive advantage. The challenge of economic development i
 s one faced by all nations and there is an extraordinary array of init
 iatives that are being put into place to act as ‘economic pump prime
 rs’. Whereas once developed markets would have only been interested 
 in how other developed economies are stimulating economic development,
  increasingly there is interest in how developing economies are provin
 g fertile nurseries for imaginative and often successful initiatives. 
 An added dimension is the role that new technologies can play.  This c
 onference seeks to explore a wealth of issues related Business and Eco
 nomic Development, contributions should therefore be of interest to sc
 holars, practitioners and researchers in management in both developed 
 and developing countries targeting a worldwide readership.\nConference
