This conference is organized by the International Research Centre for Higher Education and Trade Cooperation in Poland
in collaboration with:
- Bali State Polytechnic, Bali, Indonesia

This year’s main conference theme is:
Cross-Border Entrepreneurship: Technology, Tourism, and Social Change
The Scientific Committee welcomes research papers on entrepreneurship and the global economy today.
More specifically, but not exclusively, the following tracks are included within the overarching conference theme:
- First Track: Socioeconomic Problems of Entrepreneurship
The human element has always been considered essential to organizational performance, whether in fostering local entrepreneurship within the organization or in the business environment.
Therefore, research focusing on the social and local dimensions of management,
and on the various levels and areas of individual performance within the organization, is of paramount importance. The socio-psychological approach demonstrates how personal characteristics and social group affiliations influence specific individual outcomes.
The organizational field, particularly human resource management, constitutes an area of study concerning job characteristics,
key areas of influence, and ethical considerations of business operations. Currently, the focus of the social entrepreneurship field has shifted to immigrant employment, diversity, equity, inclusion, anti-racism, social entrepreneurship, and academic entrepreneurship.
- Track Two: New Technology Challenges for Entrepreneurship
This track explores the impact of technological advancements on entrepreneurs’ financial strategies.
Banks and venture capital firms remain important, but technology is changing the nature of their work,
the risks they face, and their expectations of entrepreneurs. Today’s entrepreneurs must understand a complex system shaped by fintech companies, algorithmic investing, and online platforms. This means that new financing methods will face similar challenges both locally and globally. This will include research papers on how artificial intelligence interacts with or influences venture capital firms’ decisions.
How does blockchain technology facilitate communication among startup founders to secure funding for their ventures by leveraging the power of social media,
innovative fundraising methods and practices based on new media technologies, the inherent risks of technology accounting, and any modifications to accounting rules related to technology finance? The core idea is to examine the advantages and disadvantages of new technologies in financing startups, from their inception to their significant growth.
- Third Track: Business and Organizational Management
This section addresses the problems and ideas related to the use of Fourth Industrial Revolution technologies and modern computing methods in industries,
companies, and markets, the development of local entrepreneurship, and how to leverage these trends to make industrial companies more digital.
Revolutionary technologies have developed rapidly, simultaneously placing constant pressure on and challenging organizations. Companies will need to transform their systems. The activities and structures of business groups must fundamentally change to utilize current technologies in the future and outperform their competitors. Revolutionary technologies will be a hot topic in the coming years due to their rapid technological advancement. Over time,
These technologies will bring about subtle changes across many industries and businesses. Therefore,
what matters most to group leaders today is creating significantly greater value than what is currently available. Leadership in business involves coordinating and managing all the group’s operations. Leadership ensures a well-defined plan for how resources are allocated, organized, directed, and controlled based on any goals and rules established by the group. The focus includes business analytics and leadership, driving economic growth, digital and technological transformation in business and government, and leading supply chains and logistics.
Logistics, aviation and transportation in the digital age, human resource leadership, digital commerce,
social media, design thinking and innovation leadership, information systems leadership, operations, team performance leadership, leadership education and growth, and new business models.
- The Fourth Path: Entrepreneurship and Innovation
There is a growing trend among aspiring entrepreneurs, especially with technological advancements, to carefully consider the downsides and risks of using new technologies and innovations.
Innovation is an integral part of modern entrepreneurship and has led to the emergence of highly successful companies. Conversely, many experience failure at some point, abandoning their hopes between conceptualization, launch, expansion, and initial public offerings. For most entrepreneurs, a sense of abundance of options is a key motivator for the emergence of successful ventures. And while success breeds success,
However, obstacles often appear first, and many give up after the first hurdle. Success lies in overcoming these obstacles;
a thriving entrepreneurial ecosystem is what truly grows the economy, by aligning national and global entrepreneurial ambitions. A company’s ability to grow, innovate, and digitally transform significantly impacts its success. The capacity to harness innovation and improve existing processes to achieve sustainability is at the heart of successful entrepreneurship.
- Fifth Track: Tourism and Hospitality in the Global Economy
The tourism and hospitality sectors are crucial to the economic development of any country or region.
With the expansion of tourism due to globalization, certain market forces have become critical for those working in this sector. These forces include the affordability of tourist destinations, exchange rate fluctuations, disposable income, ease of international travel, and safety standards. In many regions, the tourism and hospitality sectors face numerous challenges, including a human capital crisis.
Economic and geopolitical fluctuations, overtourism, destination fatigue, rapid technological advancements,
and the need for genuine sustainability beyond mere “green marketing” all contribute to the challenges facing the tourism sector. With increasing global travel and rapid urbanization, achieving sustainable tourism development is now essential. The evolving forces of globalization also present new opportunities for international hospitality management and partnerships. This course explores how global tourism impacts destinations and their future prospects, the digital transformation of the hospitality industry, the impact of tourism and hospitality on social justice and communities, and the investments of developing economies in tourism infrastructure.
- Sixth Track: Global Economic Trends in Demographics and Alternative Asset Markets
Global business and entrepreneurial demographic shifts are reshaping business and investment practices.
This transformation has significant implications for economies, impacting areas such as healthcare, job availability, and retirement plans. It is also altering how people spend and invest their money in a dynamic global society. As stocks and bonds are affected by investors’ changing risk appetite, alternative investment options, such as real estate, private equity, infrastructure, natural resources, and sustainable investments, have gained increasing popularity. These options represent key avenues for allocating investments and fostering economic development to meet the needs of a growing and dynamic global society.
It has also been affected by e-commerce and migration. Stocks and bonds are a relatively late-blooming asset class,
partly due to investment from older generations: real estate investment trusts (REITs), mortgage-backed securities, private equity, infrastructure, natural resources, data centers, and solar farms are examples of alternative and green investments. Challenges for researchers include: developing financial instruments that address economic trends related to globalization, globalization, deglobalization, and global markets; identifying global risk sources that reflect global trends; and integrating alternative assets with global sustainability goals.
