The Clute Institute was founded in 1985 for the purpose of disseminating the latest academic research on various business and economics-related topics. The scope of our mission now includes the dissemination of academic knowledge within a broad range of topics. To accomplish this mission, The Clute Institute publishes academic journals and sponsors multiple annual academic conferences. Beginning with the Journal of Applied Business Research in 1985, The Clute Institute has become known for publishing quality academic research, as well as hosting academic business, education, technology in education and science conferences.
