Proceedings of the 5th Business & Management Conference, Rome

Dear Authors, esteemed Readers,

It is with deep satisfaction that I write this Foreword to the Proceedings of the IISES 5th Business and Management Conference held in Rome, Italy, in April 05-08, 2017.

The conference particularly encouraged the interaction of research students and developing academics with the more established academic community in an informal setting to present and to discuss new and current work. Their contributions helped to make the conference as outstanding as it has been. 

In addition to the contributed papers, a keynote speech was given by Dr. Tom McCluskey and Mr. Liam Donnelly delivered the speech "Corporate Governance Quality in the Banking Sector: Exploratory Evidence for a Period of Significant Change".

These Proceedings will furnish the scientists of the world with an excellent reference book. I trust also that this will be an impetus to stimulate further study and research in all these areas.

We thank all authors and participants for their contributions.

Robert Holman
Conference Chair
