An Invitation to Taipei, Taiwan
Taipei, the capital of Taiwan, is a modern metropolis with Japanese colonial lanes, busy shopping streets and contemporary buildings. Taipei has emerged as one of Asia’s best-loved destinations. The rapidly developing city has restaurants and hotels that hold their own with the best in East Asia but remains more budget-friendly than Tokyo or Hong Kong. Taipei is also known for its lively street-food scene and many night markets, including the expansive Shilin market.
Conference Theme: Artificial Intelligence in Business: Opportunities and Challenges
Since its inception, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has transformed business in many ways. With the assistance of AI, an organization’s operations can be optimized, and many tasks that might have previously required hundreds of hours of work by humans can now be completed in an instant, and often with better results. While AI might fully replace some workers, for others it will take over parts of the job that are repetitive or require little thought, leaving them more time to innovate and add value. There is consequently a need for new business processes, new business models, and different job requirements. We invite discussions on all aspects of AI in the workplace.
Following past conference practice, there will be a mix of academic sessions, site visits, cultural activities, and keynote addresses by local experts. The theme is meant to be interpreted broadly, and submissions not addressing the theme are also welcomed. Scholars are invited to explore opportunities for research in ways that look at past (retrospect) and future (prospect) challenges and opportunities that businesses in these countries face in engaging with the rest of the world. All papers submitted must address some aspect of international business, cross-cultural and/or comparative management, or global business perspectives to be considered for presentation at the conference.
