Thanks to the juggernaut technological development (especially in the context of the Industrial Revolution 4.0), such as greater data availability and the increasing popularity of the Internet, governments, firms, and people are utilizing data (especially big data) to improve their decision-making, boost productivity, understand citizens and/or customers’ needs and behaviours, meet a greater variety of demands and many others benefits. It is undeniable that the data-driven economy features powerful economies of scale, economies of scope, network externalities in many sectors, and pervasive information asymmetry. Businesses globally are experiencing a significant increase in digitalization, leading to a surge in data volumes and emphasizing the need for enterprises to prioritize data-driven approaches. Data is becoming a crucial company asset, and its value relies on effectively utilizing it to produce actionable insights for strategic decision-making.

In addition to the challenges that businesses are facing in the data-driven economy, over the past few years, the world has been gripped with rising uncertainties and significant challenges such as the COVID-19 pandemic, the Russia-Ukraine or the Israel-Hamas conflicts. These issues, coupled with current, lingering problems such as climate change, do pose significant threats to economies and companies around the world. In response to these challenges, governments and firms have adopted sustainability-oriented approaches such as the digitalization and/or digital transformation of business activities, the pursuant of sustainable development goals (SDGs), or the adoption of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) practices.

In the context of coupling challenges, as mentioned above, it is essential to discuss the solutions that businesses should take to be resilient in uncertain contexts and achieve sustainable development. Thus, ICECH2024 aims to provide a forum for academics and professionals to share research findings, experiences, and knowledge with respect to the craft, implementation and effects of sustainable strategies in a data-driven global economy. The ICECH2024 Conference will focus on (but not limited to) Asia-Pacific nations. We welcome submissions in the following areas: Economics, Business Law, Management, Finance and Banking, Innovation and Technology, Accounting and Auditing.
