MESSAGE FROM

THE AFBE PRESIDENT

Colleagues and Friends

On behalf of The Asian Forum on Business Education (AFBE) I would like to welcome you to the AFBE Website.

AFBE was formed in Bangkok in 1992 and has now conducted conferences in various parts of southeast and east Asia since its initial inception. Initially, our conferences were conducted approximately every 18 months but over the past few years, they have become annual. All papers submitted for conference presentation and double-blind peer reviewed by AFBE and we encourage research-based papers.

In more recent years, we have also developed a number of other activities, the main ones being:

  • The online AFBE Journal
  • AFBE Membership
  • AFBE Research-Based and Co-ordinated Research Activities
  • The International Business School Accreditation (IBSA) System
  • The International Doctor of Business Administration (IDBA) Program

We have recently developed an association with the World Education Congress (WEC). For details, please see http://worldeducationcongress.com/.

We have now added Publications to our website. Our first publication is the book “Business Development in Asia”, see under Publications.

Details of these activities are contained in the following pages
The AFBE is directed by an Executive Committee. Details of the committee and the committee members also contained on this website.

We encourage and urge you to become involved in AFBE and its activities and we welcome any enquiries which you may have.

Please address enquiries to either myself on brians@afbe.biz or to the AFBE secretary, Dr Victor Egan on victore@afbe.biz

–Brian Sheehan
