We would like to invite you to be a part of the ICECH2025 and submit your research papers for presentation. The details are as follows:

The contemporary business landscape is characterized by relentless change, driven by forces that demand agile adaptation and strategic foresight. This international conference focuses on understanding the complex interplay of business dynamics – the evolving patterns of competition, collaboration, and value creation – in a world increasingly shaped by technological advancements and disruptive market forces.

Central to this dynamic environment is the rise of disruption economics, where established business models are challenged and overthrown by innovative approaches and technologies. Submissions exploring the mechanisms of disruptive innovation, the strategies for incumbent firms to adapt or preempt disruption, and the broader economic implications of these transformations are particularly encouraged. Additionally, the transformative power of technology innovation lies at the heart of these dynamic shifts. From artificial intelligence and blockchain to the Internet of Things and advanced analytics, emerging technologies are reshaping industries, creating new opportunities, and challenging existing norms. This conference invites papers that examine the strategic deployment of these technologies, the challenges of technology adoption and integration, and the ethical and societal implications of technological disruption. We invite submissions that delve into the core drivers of these dynamic shifts, exploring how businesses can anticipate, respond to, and even leverage disruption to achieve sustainable competitive advantage, rigorous analyses that examine the impact of disruptive technologies on industries, markets, and the overall economic fabric, and explore how organizations can leverage technology to drive innovation, enhance competitiveness, and create value in a rapidly evolving world. This theme of "Business Dynamics in Disruptive Economy" underscores the need for companies to adapt swiftly and resiliently in the face of disruption while leveraging data and sustainable practices to thrive in an ever-evolving landscape.

In the context of coupling challenges, as mentioned above, it is essential to discuss the solutions that businesses should take to be resilient in uncertain contexts and achieve sustainable development. Thus, ICECH2025 aims to provide a forum for academics and professionals to share research findings, experiences, and knowledge with respect to the craft, implementation, and effects of sustainable strategies in a data-driven global economy. The ICECH2025 Conference will focus on (but not limited to) Asia-Pacific nations. We welcome submissions in the following areas: Economics, Business Law, Management, Finance and Banking, Innovation and Technology, Accounting and Auditing.

Authors of accepted papers will be invited to present their work at the conference. In addition, authors of the best papers will also be invited to submit their papers to a special issue or a regular issue for publication consideration in journals affiliated with the conference. These papers will also be subject to an official, rigorous, double-blind peer-review process by the journal. This conference will be organized on the following tracks and topics:

1. Innovation, Technology, and Economics

2. Leadership, Strategic Management, and Business Law

3. Supply Chain Management, E-commerce, and Marketing

4. Sustainable development and inclusive societies, Blockchain and AI
