“Contemporary Business Management Practices, Issues and Policies”

University of Cape Coast, Cape Coast, Ghana 25th – 26th October, 2017 Amissah Arthur Language Centre, Conference room
Contemporary management issues have arisen as a result of past and current thinking and practices in business administration. In the same vein, future managerial concerns would likely emerge from current thinking, dialogue and practices. This conference provides the platform for a dialogue involving academia and practitioners to share innovative research ideas and managerial experiences in relations to emerging trends and issues in management, marketing and supply chain. It is believed that the insight from these interactions would lead to suggestions on feasible courses of action that would enable managers embrace the challenges and opportunities in modern business administration.
The conference aims at bringing together participants from academia, industry and other stakeholders that play pivotal role in the interplay between education and issues of management, marketing and supply chain. The event aims to build closer ties between academia and the business community to spur the sharing of knowledge and collaboration.
