Conference Theme: "Enabling the Transformation of Resilient Business Environment and Innovation Ecosystem in the ASEAN"
Although there will be no abrupt end to the pandemic, business and economics schools should paint a more agile, collaborative, and sustainable future for their stakeholders. Planning for life during and after the coronavirus has forced schools to react to sudden changes and respond to shifting student demands, travel restrictions, the rapid switch to online learning, budget cuts due to the economic crisis that led to unemployment.
To thrive once the crisis of COVID-19 is over, societies should ensure that the lessons learned from the pandemic—the technology, the infrastructure, the mindset shift, and all other actions that helped them thrive—will be used to formulate policies, programs, and courses of action that will alleviate poverty and improve the quality of life via job generation, business start-ups, and growth.
Thus, the 2021 AUN-BE Conference aims to harness the experiences, outlook, and strategies that would enable business and economic societies in the ASEAN region to become catalysts for alleviating the catastrophic effects of the pandemic on businesses and the economy.
