Welcome to the 3rd AFU International Conference: Towards Advanced Scientific Knowledge (TASK3-2019) in Business Sciences, which will be held on 1-2 May 2019 in Dubai, UAE.
TASK3-2019 is a multidisciplinary conference that covers interrelated topics which are under the umbrella of Business Sciences. We live in the digital era where new emerging technologies and new media have made tremendous and transformative impacts in businesses, and at the same time they raised new social and legal issues, which call for interdisciplinary research collaboration and efforts in order to understand their impacts on business and society from broader and holistic perspectives. TASK3-2019 aims to provide a platform for researchers across the world to discuss and share ideas and findings about business challenges and new emerging phenomena from a broad perspective including Business, Media, Technology and Law. The conference emphasizes this perspective (intersection between business and other fields of knowledge) which also offers the opportunity for research collaboration on interrelated topics between scholars from different backgrounds and fields, and helps in providing innovative solutions for better business environment and society’s welfare.
