The Academy of Business Disciplines (ABD) is a non-profit interdisciplinary organization that has as its purpose the expansion of knowledge relative to furthering the understanding of business and all its related functions.
This purpose is accomplished by encouraging the membership, comprised of academics and practitioners, to share research and creative efforts. This sharing takes place in a positive, constructive and collegial atmosphere.
The annual meeting of the ABD provides a venue where members present their scholarly endeavors. Emphasis is on pedagogical and applied research, although empirical studies are also welcomed and appreciated.
