The award selection committee of AIMS International will select the three best papers from those submitted for presentation at the conference. The committee, at its discretion, may recommend additional papers for consolation prizes. Interested individuals must agree to present their paper in-person at the conference (in-absentia papers are not eligible) and receive award at the Award Ceremony. 

 

   The award winners will receive a certificate/plaque. These awards are sponsored by Indus Business Academy located in Bangalore and Greater Noida.

 

   The award winning papers will also be fast tracked for publication in the AIMS International Journal of Management. The committee may choose not to recommend all three awards. Please submit your paper by November 15, 2014 to the conference general chair. Papers submitted by this date for the conference proceedings publication will be automatically considered. No late submission will be accepted under any circumstances.

 

Please submit your paper and send your inquiries to: aims12@aims-international.org

Is it necessary for me (or any one of my coauthors) to come to the conference and present the paper? Do I need to register for the conference?

I am also submitting my paper for the doctoral student paper competition. Can I also submit it for a 'best paper award'?
