The Fourth International
Conference of the School of Business at Mutah University, titled “Innovation
and Entrepreneurship for Business Sustainability,” took place from April 11
to April 13, 2017, under the patronage of Prince El Hassan bin Talal.
The Dean of the School of
Business, Dr. Abdul Salam Abu Tabanja, stated that the conference derived its
theme and national academic focus from the directives of His Majesty King
Abdullah II. These directives emphasize the critical role of entrepreneurship
and innovation as key drivers for economic growth and the creation of
additional job opportunities for Jordanians. He highlighted that the most
significant challenge facing Jordan is not political or security-related but
rather economic, particularly in providing employment opportunities.
- Explore the state of entrepreneurial ventures in
Jordan,
- Promote and disseminate a culture of entrepreneurial
thinking among university students,
- Encourage individual initiatives and self-employment,
- Host discussions on creativity and innovation in
generating entrepreneurial ideas,
- Address modern approaches to business support, and
- Examine the obstacles to entrepreneurship and their
role in creating new job opportunities.
Over three days, the conference
included discussions on 57 research papers presented by 90
researchers from various countries, including Iraq (7), Morocco (1), Saudi
Arabia (3), Lebanon (2), Australia (1), Egypt (2), Algeria (45), and Jordan
(29).
