The Faculty of Management from the Bucharest University of Economic Studies (Romania) organizes every year in October–November the International Management Conference in partnership with the Romanian Academic Society of Management (RASM). Starting in 2022, the Academy of Romanian Scientists (AOSR) joined our conference as a valuable partner.
The IMC gives participants the opportunity to exchange ideas on the latest business issues and challenges in the field of management at national and international level. At this scientific networking event, researchers and practitioners from universities and industries can debate and join their efforts in finding solutions and answers to the most urgent questions that management is confronted with in the reality of the 21st century.
The 20th edition of the International Management Conference – IMC 2026 aims to enhance collaboration and joint efforts among participants in exploring innovative managerial tools, methods, and solutions for leading in an age of intelligent systems while upholding human values. The conference welcomes contributions addressing how organizations can responsibly design, adopt, and govern intelligent technologies, strengthen resilience and trust, and reimagine management practices that balance performance, ethics, inclusion, and societal well-being in a rapidly changing global environment.
