Dear GSB Students,

Welcome to the 1st International Business Scholars Symposium (IBSS) 2024, themed Building and Sustaining Organisational Resilience: Sustainable Value Creation and Steward Leadership into the Future, taking place on 26 & 27 October 2024 at Auditorium 1, Kompleks Eureka, USM. The IBSS is organised by GSB in collaboration with the Business School from Binus University.

In conjunction with the IBSS, there is a call for papers to be presented at the symposium and published in MyCite journals*. Paper submission is exclusively open to GSB students and is free of charge. All selected papers must be presented in person at the IBSS and will then be revised for potential publication in a MyCite journal*. As the number of selected papers is limited, submissions will be processed on a first-come, first-served basis, with the quality of the paper also being taken into consideration.

Important Dates:

• Deadline for full paper submission: 14 October 2024
• Notification of selected papers for presentation at IBSS: 17 October 2024
• Symposium presentation: 26 & 27 October 2024

*Only papers revised according to the reviewers’ comments will be published in MyCite journals.
