This conference explores how diversity, inclusion, digitalization, and equity are reshaping the landscape of business, humanities, and social sciences. In an era of unprecedented global change, these four pillars are not just buzzwords but crucial drivers of innovation and progress. Diversity and inclusion foster a multitude of perspectives, leading to more robust solutions and a richer understanding of complex social issues. The integration of digitalization has revolutionized how we live, work, and interact, creating both challenges and opportunities that demand interdisciplinary exploration. Simultaneously, the pursuit of equity addresses systemic imbalances, ensuring that progress benefits all members of society. This theme invites a wide range of academic contributions—from empirical studies on equitable business practices to critical analyses of digital divides and humanistic inquiries into identity and representation. Your research can shed light on these transformative forces and help chart a course toward a more just, innovative, and inclusive future. We welcome papers that explore these themes from diverse disciplinary perspectives. Join us in shaping this crucial conversation.
