Message from the conference organizers
In an era characterized by global conflict, leadership malpractice, educational challenges, ideological polarization, product quality failures, and organizational missteps this conference is focused on creating an innovative space for constructive dialog about creating amazing future possibilities. It is designed for problem solving scholars that are interested in using their voice to make a significant difference in their communities, organizations, academic fields, and the lives of others. Participants are welcomed from a variety of disciplines including Business, Leadership, Education, Informatics/Big Data, Psychology, Technology, Counseling, Public Health, Health Systems Management, Criminology, Criminal Justice, Quality Management, Public Policy, Public Administration, Environmental Science, and etc. The plethora of topics signify that today’s complex global problems can’t be solved by scholars isolating themselves in narrow solos of their own disciplines. The American Meridian University International Interdisciplinary Academic and Business Conference is driven of the concept that scholarly collaboration and discipline multiplicity can simultaneously be a source of constructive growth oriented conflict and a rich resource for positive change.
This conference accepts first, abstracts, and then papers that address a range of critically important themes in various fields that speak to the complex and subtle relationships among technology, management, leadership, public policy, community, knowledge, and society.
