Sustainable business innovations for
the future: Lessons learnt from COVID-19
The emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic created
a global disruption that forced many organisations
in different industries to innovate their business at
speed. The pandemic created a context marked by
reliance upon emergent strategies rather than
planned changes involving a pivot to new business
innovations and operational practices. For some
organisations and thought leaders, this was seen as
a disruptive innovation opportunity or a challenge
to transform existing business models through
innovation to support business processes that were
not considered a high priority earlier. The
incremental or radical transformations of existing
business models redefined by innovations aimed to
ensure continuity and improve business activities
during the pandemic, but indeed without the
benefits of past experience, such risky business
transformations seemed to be a daunting task given
the uncertainty surrounding the nature, timing, and
scale of the efforts. Thus, it is a matter of great
interest for researchers, practitioners and diverse
stakeholders in various industries to understand
what, when and how innovations were introduced
into businesses to mitigate the challenges of
pandemic situations and whether these innovations
would successfully sustain the businesses in the
future. Keeping this in mind, the 2022 Advances in
Management and Innovation Conference (AMI2022)
invites researchers and practitioners to present and
report their research and experiences around the
theme of business and management innovations in
the context of different industries during the
pandemic to extend the knowledge gained during
the transition, for future sustenance.
The conference theme is not only limited to sustainable management innovations but will also focus on
the influence of either one or a combination of several factors that support business innovations (i.e.
strategy, change readiness, resilience, adaptability ) driven by different change initiatives in one or several
industrial sectors during the pandemic.
Events will include the main conference tracks, a Doctoral Colloquium and a paper development workshop.
