Proceedings of the 53rd International Academic Conference, Dubai

Dear Authors, Esteemed Readers,

It is with deep satisfaction that I write this Foreword to the Proceedings of the 53rd International Academic Conference held in Dubai, UAE on January 16 - 18, 2020.

The conference particularly encourage 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 help to make the conference as outstanding as it has been.

In addition to the contributed papers, Dr. Monica Gallant from the SP Jain School of Global Management, Dubai, delivered the keynote speech "Business Ethics Begin in the Classroom". Keynote speaker Dr. Anna Tarabasz, Deputy Director MGB Internships at the SP Jain School of Global Management, Dubai, delivered the speech "Classroom of the Future Impacting Contemporary Business Education".

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.

Professor Robert Holman
Director of the IISES
