Ho Chi Minh City, March 1, 2022

Dear Colleagues,

The world has changed because of the Covid-19 pandemic. The wave of Covid-19 has affected all aspects of socio-economic life, including business and normal living. This transformation is still underway, and it is too early to determine the exact scope of the pandemic’s impact worldwide. What is certain, though, is that the progress of the business world will not rewind to its pre-pandemic state. Accordingly, both new ventures and existing businesses must adjust to new consumer habits to survive. The aim of the International Conference on Finance and Economics (ICFE 2022) is to provide an internationally respected forum for scientific research in the topic “Doing Business in the new normal”. The challenge that countless enterprises have faced is how to sustain themselves and their businesses during a crisis. ICFE 2022 shares research knowledge from around the world in various sectors from Marketing, International Business, Management to Hospitality Management, Economics, Accounting & Finance through double-blind reviewed conference papers and publications.

This year, the conference is hosted by Ton Duc Thang University (Vietnam), SMEI – Sales & Marketing Executives International (USA), Prague University of Economics and Business (Czech Republic), Emlyon Business School (France), Dongguk University (South Korea) and Tomas Bata University in Zlín (Czech Republic).

The accepted and presented papers will be published in the Conference Proceedings Citation Index (Web of Science). Fully-presented papers will be reviewed for publication consideration in Central European Business Review (SCOPUS-Q3); Furthermore, high-quality papers will also be featured in the Journal of Vacation Marketing (SSCI-IF: 3.5).

For your reference, the proceedings of ICFE 2014, ICFE 2015 and ICFE 2016, ICFE 2017 and ICFE 2020 can be found in the databases of Web of Science (Clarivate Analytics).

Stay safe and please accept our best wishes for you, your families, and your friends.
