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.

 

   The award winning papers will 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 full paper by November 15, 2017 to the conference general chair. No late submission will be accepted under any circumstances.

 

Please submit your paper and send your inquiries to: aims15@aims-international.org.

 

Frequently Asked Questions:

If we get an award, does each coauthor receive a separate certificate?

How about the Plaque?
