Southern African Institute for Management Scientists SAIMS 2013 Conference Proceedings
The Southern Africa Institute for Management Scientists (SAIMS) celebrated 25 years of existence in 2013. This was a momentous occasion which coincided with the annual conference held in Potchefstroom. This publication is based on the refereed papers delivered at the conference. The theme for the conference was Celebrating 25 years of Management Resilience. This showcased the sustainable existence of this organisation and conference over this period of time.
It was necessary at this conference to reflect on where the management sciences came from and what the future holds for this research field. This is especially relevant given the economic changes that so many countries and organisations are facing. The papers focused mainly on business management, marketing management, financial management, human resource management and tourism management research questions.
The proceedings produced a basis for a thought-provoking conference with presenters from various universities. The papers included in these proceedings lifted the bar in terms of standard, quality and creativity.
