The International Conference on Business Excellence (ICBE) is a project of the UNESCO Department for Business Administration and the Faculty of Business Administration in Foreign Languages in partnership with the Professional Society for Business Excellence.
The aim of the conference is to yearly reunite professionals from the triple-helix fields: university and research, consultancy & business and public administration, who aim to generate further added value, by providing a stimulating environment for knowledge, know-how and business excellence, and alliance formation in 40 areas of interest.
The areas of interest are closely related to the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the Focus points of the European Construct and the World Economic Forum. The 18 past editions of the this conference attracted the interest of more than 2,000 international authors. The geographical distribution of the guest speakers, authors and members of the scientific committee covers over 24 countries from 5 continents.
Each edition had over 300 international academics participate to the stimulating academic discussions but also to the very attractive social programmes including city walks and high-class receptions in Bucharest (Romania) and trips to other appealing locations, like Castles in the Carpathian Mountains or vineyards in the highlands around Bucharest.
The conference also provides highly attractive publishing opportunities. Fourteen of the eighteen editions of the Proceedings of the International Conference on Business Excellence, including the last eight, have been indexed in the ISI Web of Science (WoS). The remaining editions have been published in the Springer Proceedings in Business and Economics series, indexed by Scopus, or as special issues of the international journal Management & Marketing, which is featured in several international databases. Additionally, the 2023 and 2024 editions offered participants the opportunity to publish their papers in special issues of the Scopus-indexed Journal of Risk and Financial Management.
