The LUMSA University of Rome is organizing the seventh edition of the International Conference on New Business Models, focused on the topic of current and future challenges in business and sustainability: from post-pandemic economic recovery to issues related to digital transformation.
Academic interest in the concept of sustainable business models has grown significantly in recent years, especially given the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, the recent Next-Generation EU plan and the rapid acceleration of digital transformation. This seventh edition of the International Conference on New Business Models aims to stimulate debate and insight into the role of sustainable business models in addressing two of the major challenges of our time: economic recovery and digital transformation.
A call for papers is still open. The latter is addressed to professors and researchers, doctoral students and scholars interested on the topics of sustainability in the economic sphere, new business models, circular economy, digital transformation, the role of financial intermediaries, frugal innovation, crisis management, entrepreneurship and social inclusion, and the sharing economy.
