<span style=""></span> Providing a quality education for business
students requires a continued effort to remain acquainted with the
various changes and improvements being implemented by businesses of
all sizes both domestically and globally. Technology, competition
from all parts of the world, litigation, environmental concerns and
regional trade agreements are all requiring new strategies for
businesses to succeed. This conference will include research
addressing successful approaches to teaching in this complex
environment. Other topics pertinent to our discipline are also
welcome.<br>
<br>
<strong style="">ABOUT THE CONFERENCE:</strong> The Mountain Plains
Business Association (MPBA) Global Business Conference is an annual
gathering of scholars and others interested in sharing research and
discussing relevant and contemporary issues in all areas of
business, including Management, Marketing, Finance, Economics,
Accounting, Computer Information Systems, and other related areas.
The conference has a long tradition, dating back many decades. The
gathering is informal, and presentations include everything from
manuscripts ready for journal submission to discussion-oriented
abstracts as well as forums and round-table discussions. A high
degree of collegiality exists, and many long-term friendships result
from the interactions of conference participants. The conference is
hosted on a university campus by a different institution each year.<br>
<br>

on the campus of Idaho State University, located in the high
mountain desert of Pocatello, Idaho. Pocatello is located in the SE
