Event

The Mona School of Business & Management (MSBM), University of the West Indies, Mona, recognises that over the years, business scholarship has been characterised by an inadequate focus on the challenges of small businesses, particularly when these are located in small vulnerable economies.  

This inaugural MSBM Conference will respond to this gap by providing a forum for the sharing of ideas about the role of business and management practice, scholarship and education in the advancement of small vulnerable economies such as those in the Caribbean Region.  

The conference takes place at Montego Bay, Jamaica, January 7-9, 2015.
