Call for papers “The 2026 International Conference on Management Sciences and Decision Making”

Date: May 30, 2026

Venue: Tamkang University, New Taipei City, Taiwan

The 2026 International Conference on Management Sciences and Decision Making, hosted by the Department of Management Sciences at Tamkang University, will explore cutting-edge intersections of technology, sustainability, and organizational transformation.

Conference Theme: “Agentic AI Driving Strategic ESG and Organization Reengineering”

This theme highlights how agentic AI—autonomous, goal-oriented systems capable of independent planning, execution, adaptation, and decision-making—is revolutionizing strategic ESG integration as a core business driver, while enabling profound organization reengineering for resilience, efficiency, and hybrid human-AI models.

Submissions exploring the application of agentic AI to strategic ESG (e.g., real-time monitoring, automated reporting, climate risk simulation, supply chain optimization for sustainability) and organization reengineering (e.g., process redesign, workforce restructuring, adaptive governance) are especially encouraged.

We also warmly welcome high-quality contributions on related and broader topics in management sciences and decision making, including:

  • Case studies and empirical research
  • International business and cross-cultural management
  • Big data analytics and AI-driven insights
  • Digital transformation and innovation management
  • Service management and customer experience
  • Marketing strategies
  • Human resource management
  • Managerial decision-making and optimization

Publication Opportunity: Outstanding papers presented at the conference may be recommended for inclusion in a special issue of the International Journal of Information and Management Sciences (indexed in EI Compendex, Scopus).
