Pushing the boundaries of sustainability, inclusivity, and long-term prosperity
About this Event
The theme “Business (Un)Usual: Navigating Change in a Dynamic World” strongly aligns with the mission of the Faculty of Business and Economics at the University of Auckland to shape the futures of individuals and organisations for the benefit of Aotearoa New Zealand, and the world. In an era shaped by volatility, complexity, and digital transformation, the Faculty of Business and Economics aims to equip graduates with adaptability, resilience, and responsible leadership skills to thrive in constantly evolving global markets. This theme reflects the Faculty’s strategic emphasis on navigating uncertainty and driving positive change.
Hosting a doctoral conference under this theme supports the Faculty’s commitment to fostering research excellence, interdisciplinary dialogue, and leadership responsive to business and society’s dynamic needs.
After the closing of the conference, there will be an opportunity to continue interacting among PhD students, faculty members and any visitors, during the PhD End-of-the-Year Party that will ensue.
