The 2nd NPBRC was held on February 18-19, 2021 at the Northwestern University Laoag City, Philippines . The conference theme is "The role of business research amidst the Pandemic". The NPBRC brings together academics and professionals from all business and economics disciplines to share latest research findings and brainstorm new research ideas across disciplines. It is a unique forum for researchers with cross-disciplinary interests to meet and interact. Research papers using theoretical, quantitative, qualitative, or mixed-methods approaches are encouraged as are those using interdisciplinary approaches. NPBRC offers virtual sessions as part of every on ground conference. From your webcam and computer, you can present your research and get feedback as if you were at the conference.
