It’s back in Kota Kinabalu!!! IBBC 2020

This biennial international conference began in the year 2004 through the joint effort of two of Borneo’s prominent public universities; Universiti Malaysia Sabah (UMS) and Universiti Malaysia Sarawak (UNIMAS). This year marks the 9^th edition of this prestigious conference hosted by the Faculty of Business, Economics and Accountancy, UMS, to be held in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, with the support of our co-organizers, UNIMAS.

Over the years, the IBBC has emerged as an established platform for researchers, industry practitioners, policy makers and other interested parties to share experiences and research findings on current issues; particularly those related to Borneo and the surrounding region. The 9^th International Borneo Business Conference, or IBBC 2020 for short, continues this tradition in hopes to initiate ties among researchers as well as strengthen existing bonds and create new friendships.

Hence, it is our hope that through this conference, we will be able to draw on empirical and professional insights from business leaders, researchers, and practitioners to discuss, exchange ideas, and share views and concerns on current issues and trends that will shape our business environment of the future.
