Abstract


Business, Economics, and Technology fields are dynamic and continuously evolving.  As such, there is something to be learned from the past to predict where the future is going within these fields of study.  This research reviewed business, economics, and technology academic research topics over the past twelve years to determine the trends of key topics and how they have grown or diminished over this extended period of time. Specifically, this research conducted a text analysis of titles from all conference proceeding published by the Northeastern Association of Business, Economics and Technology from its inception in 2007 to 2018. The text analysis revealed nearly one thousand presentation topics, and shows significant changes and interesting trends in information topics over this twelve-year period. This research is significant in that it serves as a historical review of the changing business, economic, and technology research environments.
