23rd International Conference on Business Management
In a world shaped by rapid technological advancement, environmental challenges, and increasing uncertainty, organizations are being called upon to rethink how they create value and sustain growth. The convergence of innovation, sustainability, and resilience offers a powerful pathway for organizations to remain competitive while addressing the complex economic, social, and environmental demands of the future. By combining intelligent technologies with human creativity, responsible leadership, and adaptive strategies, organizations can transform challenges into opportunities for long-term success.
This conference brings together academics, researchers, practitioners, and policymakers to explore how organizations can build intelligent systems and strategies that foster innovation, strengthen resilience, and promote sustainable development. Through knowledge sharing and interdisciplinary dialogue, the conference aims to generate insights that support the development of organizations that are not only technologically advanced, but also agile, responsible, and equipped to create lasting value for business and society.
The 23rd International Conference on Business Management (ICBM 2027), organized by the Faculty of Management Studies and Commerce (FMSC) at the University of Sri Jayewardenepura (USJ), serves as a dynamic platform for intellectual exchange and collaborative inquiry.
