WELCOME 

Welcome to the 2012 International Academy of Business and Public Administration 

Disciplines (IABPAD) Spring Conference in Dallas, Texas. The goal of this conference is 

to provide an opportunity for participants to present their research papers and exchange 

ideas and ways by which private and public organizations and nations can meet global 

challenges in the twenty-first century. We hope that all of you enjoy your visit to Dallas 

and find the various sessions and other activities of the IABPAD worthwhile and 

enjoyable. 

We are proud to announce that participants at this conference have made significant 

contributions to the literature through their research and advanced ideas. We encourage 

you to explore outside your disciplines and sample the work of your peers from across 

the spectrum. 

We are glad to announce that the IABPAD sponsors five refereed journals: The 

International Journal of Business and Public Administration (IJBPA), the 

International Journal of Business and Economics Perspectives (IJBEP), the 

International Journal of Education Research (IJER), the International Journal of 

Business, Accounting, and Finance (IJBAF), and the International Journal 

of Business, Marketing, and Decision Sciences (IJBMDS). Each journal has an ISSN 

number, issued by the library of Congress, Washington, DC, and is listed in Cabell’s 

Directory. Articles Published in the Five Journals will be included in the databases of 

EBSCO publishing Inc. and Gale. 

We would like to thank those who agreed to participate as paper reviewers, discussants, 

and session chairs. We would like to extend our heart-felt and deepest appreciation to 

each of you. It is our authors and the conference participants who make the IABPAD 

successful and who support our efforts to achieve our goal. Thank you and have a great
