MISSION
The third industrial revolution and the increasingly global
market oriented economy have been raising new questions for Practitioners and
Academicians in Business and Economics. What are the implications for national and
transnational entities, global wealth distribution, transnational flows of
goods and services, capital, people, and government regulation? What new
theories, methods and approaches are available? How should Business and
Economics education approach these new challenges?
As the world strides into the information age, the Business & Economics Society
International aspires to:
-
Serve as a medium of open discussion for everyone interested
in Business and Economics problems;
-
Facilitate communication between Practitioners and
Business/Economics Academicians as they pursue excellence in practice, teaching
and research;
-
Promote the disciplines of Business and Economics as fields
of study.

CODE OF ETHICS / CONDUCT
The Society recognizes that its
members have a responsibility to act in accordance with recognized ethical
norms in their interactions with each other and with external individuals and
institutions. Accordingly, it has approved the following code.
CODE OF CONDUCT
(1) As individuals engaged in
research:
Members of the Society accept the following guidelines for
their research efforts:
(a) Any research effort submitted to the Society shall
conform to accepted standards of academic integrity. Originality is expected to
the degree that the sources of information and ideas drawn from existing works
are to be given full credit.
(b) Authors are expected to accurately represent all ideas,
data, etc., that are either derived from other sources or developed through
original research.
(c) Members are expected to maintain objectivity to the
extent that any personal or professional bias is to be clearly set out in the
oral or written presentation of any research effort. In the presentation of
conclusions, the author must make clear the assumptions on which such
conclusions are based. If research is funded by any person or organization,
that fact shall be noted.
(d) Authors and
presenters are responsible for protecting the confidentiality of any sources of
materials used as research for papers or presentations in the Society. Neither
the Society nor any member of the Society, other than the author or presenter,
bears this responsibility.
(2) As members of a professional
organization:
(a) Members, in their interactions with each other and in
the administration of Society affairs, are expected to behave according to the
principles of openness and honesty, honoring commitments among themselves.
(b) Members engaged in administrative activities such as serving
on various committees of the Society, or in editorial activities, should
endeavor to carry out agreed-upon tasks or to formally withdraw from activities
that they feel unable to continue.
(3) Non-discrimination
The Society is committed to non-discrimination among its
members and with respect to application for membership. Evaluation of materials
submitted for Society consideration, such as papers, presentations, and
proposals for such, is to be solely on the basis of merit of those materials.
(4) Conflict Resolution
Should conflict arise with respect to any activity of the
Society, the members involved in such a conflict agree to submit their views to
an impartial arbiter appointed by the Board of Trustees for resolution.
Any party that is dissatisfied with the arbiter’s resolution may either
withdraw from the activity from which the conflict arose or request that the
activity be reviewed by a panel of members appointed by the Board of
Trustees. A determination by such a panel shall be final as far as the
Society is concerned.
