3rd Edition of the International Conference on Sustainable Business Practices in a VUCA World - ICSBP2026

About the Conference:

In a world characterized by volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity (VUCA), sustainability is a key issue for management research. During the last years, sustainability has been addressed by scholars in many different contexts, including logistics and supply chain management, marketing, finance, innovation, information systems as well as human resources, ethics, and social responsibility.

The aim of this conference is to discuss the state of the art in each specific field of study in management, look for common themes and create synergies among different streams of research.

This conference will be a platform for academicians, research scholars, industry practitioners and entrepreneurs to come together, to learn, share and discuss current and emerging topics in various areas aligned towards sustainability. This would be a great knowledge-sharing event for a diverse audience embracing international and national participants. The event has inspirational keynote speakers and mutually beneficial networking opportunities.

Conference Topics:

The conference is seeking submissions in the different management fields related, but not limited, to Social Marketing and Sustainable Marketing Practices, Human Resource Management Practices for Sustainable Business Growth, Sustainable Information Systems and Management, Sustainable Innovation, Entrepreneurship, Digital Transformation, Sustainable Finance, Sustainable Supply Chain, Logistics, and Transportation.
