International delegates at the conference
In today’s competitive international workplace, the removal of trade barriers among developing countries will greatly help them to achieve a competitive advantage and more synergy. This is vital because competition has caused volatility in the pricing and demand for goods and services in certain sectors. Such positive developments will ensure overall growth and economic prosperity of countries involved in multilateral trade and commerce.
Fifty research papers were presented at the conference, covering areas such as the economic integration of the developing countries with the generation of employment and entrepreneurial opportunities in third world countries to enable them to become stronger in the global marketplace.
Distinguished Teacher Le Cong Co said: “During integration and globalization, although our natural resources are being used up, our brainpower continues to develop everywhere. At this conference, I hope that researchers from all over the world will bring many new ideas and brilliant, new initiatives to the table, so that we can help unite in a world of peace and stability”.
The best quality papers will be selected for publication in global business research journals and the organizers donated awards to the best presentations at the conference and best papers will be announced in the next two months.
