4th Annual Conference on Business Economics (ACBE)

To start with, it is important to recognize that economic growth in the 21st century requires a comprehensive approach that takes into account investments, innovation, policy, and finance. These elements play a central role in defining the economic growth model for the future.

Resilience is a key aspect of sustainable and inclusive growth. For companies, resilience translates into sustainable business growth, while for societies, resilience enables and depends on meaningful economic growth that emphasizes improved quality of life, equality, and inclusiveness. Resilience is also highlighted as an important factor in building a future of sustainable and inclusive growth amidst disruptions and crises.

Inclusive and sustainable economic growth involves ensuring prosperity, well-being, and dignity for all stakeholders. It encompasses measures such as increased economic profit for companies, GDP growth for nations, and improved life satisfaction for citizens. Additionally, it considers the importance of the dignity of work and evolving definitions of well-being.

To achieve inclusive and sustainable economic growth, it is necessary to focus on integrated planning, employment creation, decent work, and redistributive programs that address poverty, inequality, and exclusion. Managing risks associated with globalization and building resilient societies are also critical priorities.

International cooperation and engagement are vital for success in economic development and ensuring sustainable and inclusive growth, particularly in a disrupted world. The resilience agenda addresses multiple themes, and seizing the momentum to build resilience becomes crucial for the future.

In this backdrop, the Department of Business Economics has decided to conduct its 4th Annual Conference on Business Economics (ACBE) on the theme of “Enabling Resilient Growth and Embracing Change for Inclusive and Sustainable Economic Growth“. This requires a comprehensive approach that includes investments, innovation, policy, and finance, while emphasizing resilience, improved quality of life, equality, and inclusiveness. Integrated planning, employment creation, and managing risks are also important factors in fostering such growth. International cooperation and engagement are necessary to navigate a disrupted world and seize opportunities for resilience and sustainable development. Hence, the ACBE 2023 aims to bring together scholars and practitioners around the world to exchange and share their experiences and research findings on all aspects of recovery.
