The 2012 MPMA Conference Will be Held At The

University of Nebraska at Kearney

October 10-13, 2012

 

Welcome to the Home Page of the Mountain Plains Management Conference. This conference is an annual gathering of scholars and other interested parties who share research and discuss relevant and contemporary issues in all areas of business. Topics of discussion include Management, Marketing, Economics, Accounting, Finance, Business Law, International Business, Information Systems, and other business-related areas.

The Journal of Business and Economics is housed at Southern Utah University. The annual conference, however, is hosted by a different institution each year.

This year's 2011 conference was held on the campus of Mesa State College in beautiful Grand Junction, Colorado.  The theme for the conference was "Managing...For The Future."  It was well attended, with many of the sessions having in excess of 100 people. Special thanks to Dr. Geoff Gurka, Conference Chair, and Jane Sandoval for their tireless work on putting together a successful event.

The 2012 Annual National Mountain Plains Management Conference will be held at the University of Nebraska at Kearney.  The conference website is can be accessed by clicking here.  The Conference Coordinator will be Kay Hodge.  Paper submissions should be sent to Dr. Susan Jensen (jensensm1@unk.edu) while registration information can be obtained from Dr. Janet Trewin at trewinj1@unk.edu.   Please feel free to contact them if you have any questions.

The conference has a long tradition, dating back many decades. The gathering is informal, and presentations include everything from publishable articles and formal papers to discussion-oriented abstracts. A high degree of collegiality exists, and many long-term friendships are created as a result from attending the annual conferences.

The Mountain Plains Journal of Business and Economics, begun in 1999, is a refereed journal included in Cabell's annual edition of academic journals. Any person interested in submitting a paper for consideration to the Journal is encouraged to visit the Journal's homepage for further information.
