Theme: Finance, Accounting, Banking, Risk and Treasury Management in times of VUCA

VUCA, an acronym for Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity and Ambiguity has its origins in military operations. Influential speakers such as Alan Webber, former editor of Harvard Business Magazine and Fast Company, apply VUCA to describe today's environment after the several crises that hit the markets during the last decade. Volatility has since risen enormously, traditional planning and forecasting tools proved erroneous, complexity caused fatal and unforeseen impacts, risk once again became uncertainty, and ambiguity invalidated formerly reliable deterministic models on the micro and macro level. In order to cope with this changing environment, business leaders are forced to adopt their planning and decision models. We therefore invite scholars from a multitude of disciplines to contribute and (re)build theory of Finance, Risk and Treasury in times of VUCA.

Topics may come from a broad variety, for example from one of the following fields:
• Corporate Finance
• Economics and Global Finance
• Behavioural Finance
• Treasury and Liquidity
• Financial- and Enterprise Risk Management
• Accounting
• Banking and Insurance
• Mathematical & Computational Finance
• Investments & Portfolio Management
• Strategic Management & Entrepreneurship
• Banking and the Finance Industry Sector
• Islamic Banking and Finance

We welcome papers from a wide range of disciplines and corresponding research methodologies. We also encourage PhD. students to submit a paper for presentation. Please submit your one-page abstracts to finconf@acrn.eu for peer-review, you will be notified within two weeks of submission!
