The conference theme for 2023 is Sustainability: Global and Local Challenges. Sustainability entails the ability to maintain or support processes or conditions over time, often used in the context of natural resources, such as the ability to maintain or support the use of resources without depleting them. It is also used in the context of social and economic systems, such as the ability to maintain or support the well-being of people and communities over time. This complex concept involves balancing economic, social, and environmental factors to ensure long-term viability.

The scope encompasses research from the disciplines of Management, Marketing, Finance, Accounting and Law.
