The UKI Chapter of the Academy of International Business (AIB) is the leading association of scholars and specialists in the field of international business in the UK and Ireland. At the conference we will provide a scholarly platform to interrogate the complex relationship between international business (IB) and society, in particular around sustainable development goal 8 (SDG8). In tradition with previous chapter conferences, we invite general IB papers and contributions which speak to the specific conference theme. Topics including technological upgrading and innovation, the formalisation and growth of micro-, small- and medium-sized enterprises, the de-coupling of economic growth from environmental degradation as well as from exploitation of workers and employees, including women, children, migrants, person with disabilities and other minorities. We also invite work on technological advancements in digitalisation and automation and robotics, specifically when connected to their enabling function for attainment of larger degrees of inclusiveness on the individual, firm and regional levels. IB topics that connect IB actors with effort of policy makers, non-governmental organisations and other non-firm actors are also very welcome.
