Present times call for businesses and institutions to continually reassess and find competitive advantages as they try to reinvent themselves for sustainable and balanced economic development and growth in the face of a dynamic environment. Climate change, downturns or signs of recovery and robust growth in developed and emerging economies, changing trends in business models and disruptive innovation continue to affect nations, and these necessitate the need for cutting-edge information among global stakeholders. This conference provides a unique opportunity for a diverse mix of academicians and scholars with fresh multi-disciplinary and multi-cultural perspectives to exchange updated information and insights relative to a constantly evolving global economy. Moreover, the conference seeks to encourage networking and collaboration among participants to further advance the theory and practice of global business and trade amidst convergence and divergence.
In this context, the organizers of the 36th IAGBT-KITRI Biannual Conference and Research Symposium invite theoretical, empirical and qualitative papers, including case studies and working papers that complement and address a wide variety of topics that cover critical policy issues, public and private enterprise practices, corporate and bottom-of-the-pyramid initiatives from any aspect of global business and trade.
Full papers for the conference may be submitted to the regional co-chairs by June 15, 2026 who, in turn, must initially review these and send qualified papers to the International Academy of Global Business and Trade through the conference chair for a double-blind review. Prospective conference presenters will be informed whether their papers are accepted or not by June 20, 2026. Any further questions about the conference can be directed to any of the conference coordinators or the conference chair.
