We are delighted to announce that IFSAM 2022 Congress was held virtually in collaboration with ANPAD as a pre-conference activity of ENANPAD22 between 7th and 9th September 2022.
Theme: Opportunities and Challenges in a Changing Business & Management Higher Education Landscape
The programme of IFSAM 22 Congress included a series 90-minute roundtable discussions that focus on management research, management education, and academia-management practice interactions. It also included substantive discussion sessions devoted to the work of the winners of the inaugural IFSAM awards with them and the audience and an exploration of the first IFSAM soft policy statement on management research.
