THE CONFERENCE CHAIR WELCOMES YOU TO

MAURITIUS A warm word of welcome to the 12th International Business Conference (IBC) hosted at the Le Méridien Ile Maurice.

Welcome to Mauritius / Bienvenue a lil’e Maurice The Le Meridien hotel stands at the edge of 1 000 metres of sparkling ivory sand on the coast of Mauritius in the bay of Pointe Aux Piments of the Indian Ocean. Since its inception more than a decade ago, the International Business Conference (IBC) has become a well-established academic conference, supported by wonderful people with a great passion for research and life. The first IBC was hosted in Mauritius in 2007 and was attended by 50 delegates. This was followed by conferences in Port Elizabeth (2008) and Zanzibar (2009). The former Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University (NMMU) Business School hosted the first three conferences. The former Potchefstroom Business School hosted the next four conferences. These were held at the Victoria Falls in Livingstone Zambia (2010), Mombasa, Kenya (2011), Mauritius (2012) and the Seychelles (2013), respectively. At the 2013 IBC Conference, it was decided to reconstitute the IBC Conference such that it will be owned by the delegates and governed by an elected conference board. The conference board is elected by the delegates duly representing business management departments and business schools from the majority of universities in South Africa. It is also part of the vision to seek partnerships with other institutions in Africa and internationally. Conferences during this time were held in Swakopmund, Namibia (2014), Victoria Falls (2015), Langebaan in the Western Cape (2016) and the White Sands Hotel and Resort in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. The number of delegates steadily grew over the years and, in 2017, 140 delegates participated in the event. The IBC prides itself with a rigorous scientific review process. Following a desk review process, accepted papers are dispatched for double-blind peer review by local and international academia. Positive reviewers’ reports from both reviewers are required for a paper to be accepted. Papers that have not been published before/elsewhere are considered for presentation and publication in the IBC proceedings. We are sure that the presentations and proceedings have reached such a standard that all delegates can be proud of their own contributions in each discipline. Reviewers can also nominate papers for the Best Paper Award. This process includes a panel of independent reviewers and is managed by the Scientific Committee of the IBC Board. The nomination process includes independent reviewing at three different levels by external reviewers. IBC board members are prohibited from taking part in this process. A new IBC Board executive committee was elected at the 2016 conference at Langebaan. The committee consists of Prof Stephan van der Merwe (Conference Chair), Dr Cobus Oosthuizen (Organising Director), Dr Johan van Zyl (Financial Director) and Prof Mornay Roberts-Lombard (Marketing Director), and will serve for the next three years. The IBC has three main goals. The first goal is to provide an international platform for the presentation, discussion and debate of different academic and professional approaches and research on current developments in a dynamic business and socio-political arena. The second goal is to provide the opportunity for academics, practitioners and post-graduate students to have their work validated and benchmarked within the benevolent academic and professional community. The final goal is to create a pleasant and enjoyable environment to serve the first two goals, where delegates can also relax, get to know their fellow academia informally, and truly build their networks.

2

It is my earnest privilege to serve as chair of the IBC, deeply cognisant of the responsibility associated with the portfolio. Subsequently, I acknowledge the many individuals and institutions who have played a critical role over the past decade to establish and grow the conference, enabling the newly elected conference board to further build on this firm foundation. Our intent is that the IBC continues to offer a platform for young and experienced scholars, as well as business people to network. My personal dream, however, is to position the conference as a truly international conference with a focus on mentoring and developing young researchers in Africa. Milpark Business School (organising committee and accommodation) and the North-West University Business School (scientific committee, paper reviews and registrations) organised this event. My sincere appreciation to the IBC Board and the different committees for their devoted efforts in this regard. The organising of the 2018 IBC Conference in Mauritius was an all embracing task, requiring positive thinking, diligence and focus. Once again, the organising committee delivers an IBC Conference that will be memorable. We hope that you will enjoy the special networking opportunities that this conference and venue offer, and that the Le Méridien Ile Maurice (the conference venue) and the beautiful island of Mauritius become one of your special academic memories!
