The Knowledge of Business
2016 | Saint Mary's University
The 46th Annual Atlantic Schools of Business Conference is being hosted this year by the Sobey School of Businesss, Saint Mary’s University (Halifax) from Friday, October 21 to Sunday, October 23, 2016.
The theme of this year’s conference is “The Business of Knowledge / The Knowledge of Business.” This year’s theme speaks to the role of business education in the study and understanding of business, and to the role of business practice in shaping the character of education. Through the theme we hope to encourage a range of papers that expand our knowledge of business; critique the role of business in education; and/or explore the paradoxical relationships between the two.
Please save the date and plan to join us.
