Academy of Global Business Research and Practice
Nature and Scope of the conference
The Academy of Global Business Research and Practice (AGBRP) serves as an interdisciplinary forum where policy makers, academics, business and technology leaders, and entrepreneurs converge to explore the challenges at the intersection of environmental sustainability, business practices, and cutting-edge technologies. With a focus on collaboration and innovation, AGBRP is exploring multi-stakeholder approaches to sustainability in an uncertain and polarized global context.

Two options are available for practitioners. The first option in this submission type is for presentations that provide a real-world perspective on management issues within organizations; these presentations seek to provide a view of these management issues from the practitioner perspective.
