The 2013 International Symposium on Business and Social Science (ISBASS) is scheduled to be held on 27-29 July, 2013 in Bangkok, Thailand.

The ISBASS is intended to be a lively forum for academics, professionals and practitioners to meet and discuss the most recent development in business and social science in a less than formal and interdisciplinary setting. Thus we particularly welcome papers that employ interdisciplinary approaches; topics of interest can be drawn from areas such as accounting, business administration, economics, finance, management, political science, sociology, international studies, public administration and so on.
