SIBR 2020 Kuala Lumpur Conference on Interdisciplinary Business & Economics Research will be held on October 2nd (Friday) and 3rd (Saturday), 2020 at the Royale Chulan Bukit Bintang Hotel [click to visit] in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The conference theme is "Tenth Anniversary of SIBR: The Interdisciplinary Edge in Turbulent Markets". 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.
