21^st International Conference on Business Management
( ICBM 2025 )

The Fourth Industrial Revolution is driving profound digital transformation across industries and services worldwide, fostering agile and collaborative enterprises tailored for a digitally inclined society. Central to this transformative era are disruptive technologies like AI, machine learning, and blockchain, which are not only reshaping societal structures but also revolutionizing work practices. Businesses embracing these innovations consistently outperform traditional market norms, yet they also face challenges such as job displacement and cyber system vulnerabilities.

Organized by the Faculty of Management Studies and Commerce (FMSC) at the University of Sri Jayewardenepura (USJ), the International Conference on Business Management (ICBM) stands as a pivotal event in our academic calendar. Since its inception in 1999, ICBM has evolved into a sought-after forum where academia and industry converge to explore pressing issues. In 2025, we proudly host the 21st consecutive conference under the theme:

“Tech Titans and Turmoil: Leveraging Disruptive Technologies for Sustainable Business Transformation.”

ICBM 2025 underscores our commitment to scholarly exploration in management-related disciplines, emphasizing the dual nature of disruptive technologies. We aim to harness these technologies for sustainable development while promoting ethical leadership and responsible business practices. Through interdisciplinary discussions, the conference seeks to illuminate how businesses can contribute to achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals through technology-driven solutions.

Join us at ICBM 2025 for keynote speeches, plenary sessions, oral presentations, and pre-conference workshops. Together, let’s navigate the challenges and opportunities of the digital age, paving the way for a sustainable and inclusive future.
