6th Current Issues in Business and Economic Studies (CIBES) Conference – Abstract Book

The Abstract Book of the 6th Current Issues in Business and Economic Studies (CIBES) Conference brings together research abstracts addressing contemporary challenges and developments in business, economics, and related fields. Held in Valencia, Spain, on 25–27 June 2026, the conference provided a setting for international academic exchange across disciplines and research traditions.

The volume covers a broad range of themes, including artificial intelligence and digital transformation, leadership and organisational behaviour, marketing and consumer behaviour, entrepreneurship and innovation, sustainability, finance, and public policy. Drawing on diverse national and organisational contexts, the contributions explore how technological change, economic uncertainty, and evolving societal expectations influence organisations, markets, and institutions.

Published by Malton London Press, this collection offers an overview of current research interests and emerging directions within an interconnected global environment. It provides researchers, students, practitioners, and policymakers with an accessible introduction to the ideas represented at the conference, encouraging further inquiry and dialogue on the forces shaping business and economic life.
