The main goal of IFKAD 2020 is to forge a strong connection between theory and management, enhancing and promoting the transfer of research results to real-world management practices and policies, drawing together scholars who are working at the forefront of research domain with the emerging business and government challenges, such as knowledge divide, threats to privacy, and the potential loss of diversity of knowledge.

Moreover, the Forum’s PhD sessions will give a unique opportunity to postgraduates and PhD students to present and discuss their work, and to gather feedback from international experts to further develop their research projects.
