Letter From the Editor

Nowadays we are facing a "polycrisis" for the first time. This includes inflation, economic downturn, war in Europe, the energy crisis, post-pandemic aftermath, the climate crisis, and technology and supply chain disruptions. It’s no surprise that the challenges facing today’s businesses are often called "unprecedented" or "unique." Similar crises have happened before, but what makes the current situation different is the combination of two critical factors. Firstly, these crises are happening all at once, unlike past crises like the First World War, the Spanish flu, or the Great Depression, which occurred one after another. This means we can't tackle them separately; they are interwoven and need a holistic approach. Secondly, these crises are being driven and amplified by ongoing megatrends, making this situation unlike anything seen before.

Thus, in order to anticipate the inherent challenges of the business world, it is imperative that we proactively identify and address these issues. With this in mind, we have outlined five focal areas for the publication year of 2023-2024:

1. Economic Uncertainty

2. Technological Disruption

3. Workforce of the Future

4. Changing Customer Demands

5. Climate Crisis

To uphold our commitment to excellence, we are pleased to announce that we have secured the expertise of Dr. Elvira Solji, the University of New South Wales (Australia), Prof. Dr. Dzulkifli bin Mukhtar from University Malaysia Kelantan (Malaysia), Prof. Dr. Azlina binti MD Yassin, University Tun Husein Onn Malaysia (Malaysia), Dr. Zeiad Amjad Abdulrazzak Aghwan, Universiti Islam Sultan Sharif Ali (Brunei Darussalam), Dr. Mohammad Nabil Almunawar, Universiti Brunei Darussalam (Brunei Darussalam), Dr. İbrahim Avcı, Gümüşhane Üniversitesi (Turkey), and Dr. Mohamed Battour, Tanta University (Egypt), who will be joining us as esteemed Guest Editors (as well as International Advisory Board). Their profound insights and invaluable contributions are set to enrich the depth and quality of our publication.

We are optimistic that our 2023-2024 publication will yield substantial contributions to the comprehension of contemporary business challenges, serving as a valuable resource for policy makers, scholars, and practitioners alike.
