The conference theme is "The Interdisciplinary Approach to Contemporary Business and Economics Research: Convergence or Divergence in Theories and Data?". The SIBR conference brings together academics and professionals from all business and economics disciplines to share latest research findings and brainstorm new research ideas across disciplines. It is a unique forum for researchers with cross-disciplinary interests to meet and interact. Research papers using theoretical, quantitative, qualitative, or mixed-methods approaches are encouraged as are those using interdisciplinary approaches.
