Call for Abstracts

Global Conflicts and environmental challenges present enormous impediments to business, law, accounting, public administration, economics, management and development efforts; these weaken judicial and accounting institutions, which thus makes desired sustainable growth aspirations vulnerable.  

Accordingly, more than ever, there is an urgency for scholars to expedite a pragmatic leap beyond traditionally held disciplinary boundaries to weave shared models of sustainability innovations.  These models may catalyse desired prosperity to usher indubitable sustainable economic growth and development.

The 1st Faculty of Management and Law International Conference (1st FMLIC) will focus on Sustainability Innovations and invites scholars from trans-disciplinary fields including but not limited to business, law, accounting, public administration, economic, human resource management and development; social science, technology, and of quantitative, theoretical or full papers, which discusses novel qualitative, quantitative, theoretical and/or conceptual  models for sustainability innovation for growth amidst global conflicts and environmental challenges.
