Conference Theme: Justice and Sustainability in the Global Economy

Since the 15th century, colonization has been an important issue in the world, with de-colonization being a key event of the 20th century. The consequences of colonization and subsequent de-colonization have been enormous in economic, social and political terms. In particular, de-colonization has opened the door to today’s globalization. The theme of “Justice and Sustainability in the Global Economy” fits with the mission of IFSAM, the ‘United Nations of the Academies of Management’. This theme is of particular significance to developing countries, especially those in Africa, one of the key areas of development interest for IFSAM. Our theme also raises the question of the significance and contribution of managerial activities and management in relation to justice and sustainability, especially after the financial crisis.
