Spring Webinar Report
On March 22-23, 2021 University of Lodz in Poland together with Linnaeus
University in Sweden, organized the Asia-Pacific Management Accounting
Association Spring Webinar.
One hundred fifty eight people participated on the first day of the
conference, and 112 people on the second day, which gives a total of 270
participants. About 75% of the participants were professors from various
universities in the world, 12% PhD students and 10% master students. The
conference also attracted the interest of practitioners (3%). The
participants represented various countries from all over the world
(alphabetically): Bangladesh, Czech Republic, Estonia, France, Spain,
Indonesia, Japan, Qatar, Lithuania, Germany, Malaysia, Poland, Romania,
Sweden, Thailand, Ukraine and Vietnam. In total, representatives of
about 50 research institutions from all over the world participated in
the conference.
The main goal of the conference was to enable scientists from different
countries to meet, thus creating the opportunity to discuss and exchange
views on the latest trends and problems in management accounting in the
context of sustainable development of the organizations. During the
conference, there were presented papers by practitioners representing
world-class organizations, papers presenting the results of scientific
research on sustainable development accounting and discussion
presentations. After all the speeches, there was a lively discussion.
In our opinion, the Asia-Pacific Management Accounting Association
Spring Webinar conference was a great success. Below we attach all the
acknowledgements (in the "chat") from conference participants and the
e-mails we received.
