International Management Week (IMW) is a distinguished annual forum that convenes leading universities from Southeast Asia and beyond for a week of immersive learning, cutting-edge innovation, and rich cultural exchange. Organized by the Management Study Program, Faculty of Economics, Universitas Sarjanawiyata Tamansiswa, Yogyakarta, Indonesia, IMW cultivates a vibrant arena where visionary ideas are advanced, high-impact research is showcased, and enduring global partnerships are forged. It serves as a premier platform for students, scholars, and industry professionals to engage in meaningful collaboration, exchange transformative insights, and inspire progress in the rapidly evolving discipline of management.
Dear Esteemed Partners and Colleagues,
With the utmost respect and sincere appreciation, I wish to extend my highest gratitude for the extraordinary dedication, intellectual rigor, and collective spirit that you have demonstrated in realizing the success of International Management Week (IMW) 2024. My heartfelt thanks go to the Rector of Universitas Sarjanawiyata Tamansiswa (UST) for entrusting us with the stewardship of this prestigious platform, as well as to the entire organizing committee, whose meticulous planning, tireless enthusiasm, and solid collaboration have transformed a shared vision into a remarkable reality.
International Management Week is far more than an annual event; it is a dynamic interdisciplinary forum where academic excellence meets visionary leadership, where knowledge exchange transcends disciplinary and national boundaries, and where enduring partnerships are forged to address increasingly complex and interconnected global challenges. This forum unites scholars, industry leaders, policymakers, and change agents around a common mission: to advance knowledge, ignite transformative innovation, and chart collaborative pathways toward a more equitable and sustainable future for our world.
Looking ahead to International Management Week 2025, we humbly present the new theme: “Shaping a Sustainable Future: Innovation, Community Engagement, and Global Solutions.” This theme is not merely a declaration, but a call to action — inviting us to mobilize creativity, leverage technological and social innovation, and strengthen synergies among academia, industry, and communities worldwide. We envision IMW 2025 as a catalyst for groundbreaking projects, inclusive growth models, and sustainable strategies that deliver tangible benefits for humanity and our planet.
The success of this ambitious vision depends fundamentally on the active involvement and unwavering commitment of every stakeholder. Your expertise, thought leadership, and dedication will be pivotal to ensuring that IMW 2025 transcends a conventional academic gathering, becoming a historic milestone of collective empowerment and global progress. This is a defining moment to move forward with resolve and clear purpose. Together, let us not only shape discourse but also forge a future that is sustainable, inclusive, and resilient. Through close collaboration, I am confident that IMW 2025 will be remembered not merely as an event, but as a turning point in the global endeavor toward a better, more just world. Dear Esteemed Partners and Colleagues,
Warmest regards,
Head of Management Study Program
