A warm and cordial welcome to the International Conference on Business and Social Science! The conference will be held in Fukuoka from July 18 – 20, 2024. It is a privilege to have each of you here as we embark on a collective exploration of the complex dynamics encapsulated in the special session, “Navigating Change: Adapting Business and Society to Global Transformations.”

In this era of unprecedented technological progress, economic transitions, and evolving cultural landscapes, our conference stands as a beacon for thought leaders, academics, and practitioners alike. Together, we will delve into the intricacies of change, dissecting its multifaceted dimensions and understanding how it interweaves with both the fabric of businesses and the structures of societies.

As we navigate this transformative journey, our collective goal is clear—to foster a deeper understanding of the challenges and opportunities that arise amidst the ever-evolving global landscape. This conference is not merely a meeting of minds; it is a convergence of expertise, a melting pot of diverse perspectives that will contribute to the development of innovative strategies. These strategies are poised not only to adapt to the changes but to thrive amidst them, creating a landscape where businesses and societies not only endure but flourish.
