PROGRAM DESCRIPTIONS

1. Paper Session/Parallel Session

   Paper sessions, also known as parallel sessions, are structured academic activities where researchers present their original work, share findings, and engage in scholarly discussions with peers. These sessions are a cornerstone of academic conferences, providing a platform for knowledge exchange, feedback, and networking among participants.

   All papers presented at the conference will be published in the conference proceedings with an ISSN. However, participants have the option to opt out if they do not wish for their papers to be published in the proceedings.

   Participants are required to adhere to the conference proceeding template (5 pages) when submitting their papers that include the title of the paper, the author(s) name(s) and affiliation(s), the lead author’s email address, abstract, introduction, methods, results, discussion, conclusions, and references. The paper must be submitted as a Word document (.doc or .docx).

2. Doctoral colloquium

   The Doctoral Colloquium at ICMEM 2025 is a dedicated forum for PhD candidates in the early stages of their dissertation research. It provides an opportunity for doctoral students to present their work, share research ideas, methodologies, and progress, and receive valuable feedback from senior academics and fellow researchers. The goal is to foster academic dialogue, constructive criticism, and collaborative growth, helping students refine their research and gain insights to enhance the quality and depth of their dissertations.

   The Doctoral Colloquium will be held on Wednesday, 20 August 2025, and will be led by Dr. Mohamad Rohieszan Bin Ramdan, Senior Lecturer at the Faculty of Management and Economics, Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris (UPSI), Malaysia. The session will include discussions, allowing doctoral candidates to receive feedback in a supportive environment. This program offers doctoral students the opportunity to refine their research questions, methodologies, and theoretical frameworks, as well as to connect with potential collaborators, mentors, and industry practitioners. Additionally, it provides valuable insights to help advance both their research progress and academic career development.

   Eligibility: The program is open to doctoral candidates who are currently enrolled in the early stages of their Ph.D. program, from Indonesia and around the world.

   Submission Requirements:

   To participate, applicants must submit the following documents:

   1. Research Proposal (5-10 pages), including research title and objectives, research questions or hypotheses, theoretical framework, and methodology.
   2. Curriculum Vitae (CV)
   3. Motivation Statement

   Please combine the above documents (1, 2, and 3) into a single PDF file. Additionally, if you are selected, prepare a PowerPoint presentation.

   Selection: Selected candidates will be invited to present their proposals during the doctoral colloquium.

3. Paper Development workshop (PDW)

   The Paper Development Workshop (PDW) is an academic event designed to help researchers, particularly doctoral students and early-career academics, develop and refine their research papers, typically with the goal of publication in reputable journals. This workshop will be guided by Associate Prof. Shane Mathews and will take place on Thursday, August 21, 2025.

   Authors are required to submit their papers following the formatting guidelines provided by the collaborating journals (Scopus-indexed and nationally accredited journals).

   The following is a list of partnered journals that have confirmed collaboration:

   1. Journal of Indonesian Economy and Business (Scopus Q3)
   2. Journal of Leadership in Organizations (Sinta 2)
   3. Jurnal Manajemen Teknologi (Sinta 2)
   4. The Asian Journal of Technology Management (Sinta 2)
   5. International Journal of Applied Business Research (Sinta 2)
   6. Jurnal Ilmiah Akuntansi dan Bisnis (JIAB)

   The PDW will include roundtable discussions, where each paper will be reviewed in detail, with feedback provided by experienced scholars. The goal of the workshop is to help participants improve their manuscripts for journal submission or conference presentation, ensuring clearer research positioning and enhanced quality.

   The workshop is intended for:

   1. Doctoral candidates developing a dissertation chapter into a research paper.
   2. Researchers preparing journal articles for publication.
   3. Anyone seeking constructive feedback and guidance on how to improve their paper for publication.

   Selection for the Paper Development Workshops (PDWs) will be competitive, thus selected papers selected based on quality and alignment with the respective journals. Participants will have a chance to discuss directly with reviewers and editors to get direct feedback. The format of the program is the roundtables where each paper is discussed in detail, with feedback from experienced scholars. The purpose is to improve manuscripts ready for journal submission or conference presentation, with clearer research positioning. Participant criteria are master students, doctoral candidates developing a dissertation chapter into a paper, researchers preparing a journal article, and anyone seeking constructive feedback and publication guidance.

4. Poster Program

   The Poster Program is an academic showcase within the conference, offering students and researchers the opportunity to present their ongoing or completed studies through visually engaging posters. This platform fosters academic exchange, encourages peer feedback, and promotes interaction with scholars and practitioners. Poster presentations provide researchers with a way to visually communicate their study’s key points and findings in a concise and engaging format. It offers a unique chance to share research with a broad audience in an interactive and accessible manner. Participants can stand by their posters to discuss their work, answer questions, and receive valuable feedback from conference attendees.

   The Poster Program will take place in-person over two days, 20 and 21 August 2025, and will not be held online.

   Eligible Participants

   • Students: Undergraduate, Master's, or PhD students from any institution.
   • Academics: Faculty members, researchers, or practitioners with academic affiliations.
   • Participants can be individuals or groups (up to 3 members).
   • Poster content must be based on original work (research, case study, literature review, or innovative concept).

   When submitting your poster, please ensure it meets the following specifications. File Type: Your poster should be submitted as either a JPEG or PDF file. The Size must be formatted to either A1 (594 mm x 841 mm) or A0 (841 mm x 1189 mm) dimensions, in portrait orientation.
