The fourth 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 age of the robots, 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.

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
