The sixth annual MWAIS conference will accept papers on state-of-the-art

proceedings that are published in the AIS eLibrary.

second best paper award is $200, third best paper award is $100. The 
monetary awards are given to the authors conditionally upon publishing 
their work in the American Journal of Business. 

Up to three papers that have potential for development for future journal
