The 2012 Conference on Sustainable Business in Asia invites scholarly interactions among academics, researchers, doctoral students, and representatives from industry, entrepreneurs, non-profit and non-governmental organization professionals to submit proposals by May 1, 2012.

Applicants are welcome to submit up to two proposals for presentation at no additional cost. We welcome full papers, but it is not required to submit a full paper for acceptance as an oral presenter.

As the fields of business, sustainability, and sustainable business differ and cross over into multiple areas and disciplines, authors are welcome to submit from a range of topics, perspectives, and disciplines. The range of research submissions may include conceptual, empirical, experimental, and case studies.
