INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ICEBHAS V, Melbourne, Australia, October 2028

Understanding the Economic Backbone:

The economic backbone refers to the key sectors, institutions, and infrastructures that support sustained economic growth. This can include:

• Physical infrastructure (roads, ports, energy)

• Key industries (manufacturing, services, technology)

• Financial systems (banks, markets)

• Human capital (education, skills)

• Governance and institutions

Series of International Conferences [ICEBHAS V - 2028]

THEME: How do we measure the Economic backbone to promote Economic Growth and its Impact on the Managerial level (Institutional Approaches)?

Measuring the Economic Backbone:

We can measure the strength of the economic backbone through several indicators:

Promoting Economic Growth through the Backbone:

Institutional Approaches:

Institutional theory suggests that rules, norms, and organisations shape economic behaviour. Thus, strong institutions are essential to leverage the economic backbone for growth.

Managerial Level Impact: Translating Institutional Approaches to Management

At the managerial or firm level, the robustness of the economic backbone and institutional environment affects:

• Strategic Decisions: Market entry, investment scale, innovation

• Risk Management: Dealing with regulatory risks, political risks

• Operational Efficiency: Supply chain reliability, infrastructure quality

• Talent Management: Human capital availability

• Corporate Governance: Compliance with legal and ethical standards

To measure and promote economic growth through its backbone:

• Identify key sectors and institutional enablers

• Strengthen institutions for stability, efficiency, and innovation

• Understand how these impact firms’ managerial decisions and performance

• COVID-19 Pandemic Recovery: While vaccination efforts have been underway, the pandemic's economic effects persist. Issues include supply chain disruptions, labour shortages, shifting consumer behaviour, and monetary stimulus measures.

• Energy Economics: Energy policy can cover many topics, including energy efficiency, renewable energy, fossil fuel development, electricity market, (type of market) transportation systems, and international energy trade.

• Inflation: Many countries have experienced higher inflation rates due to supply chain disruptions, increased demand post-lockdowns, and monetary policies aimed at stimulating economies. Central banks are closely monitoring this situation and considering appropriate policy responses.

• Climate Change and Sustainability: Climate change poses risks to businesses and economies, leading to discussions on sustainable practices, carbon pricing, renewable energy investments, and adaptation strategies.

• Digital Transformation: The acceleration of digitalisation due to the pandemic continues, impacting various industries. Businesses are adapting to remote work, e-commerce growth, digital payments, and cybersecurity challenges.

• Global Trade and Geopolitical Tensions: Trade tensions between major economies, such as the U.S. and China, and geopolitical conflicts affect global supply chains, trade policies, and investment decisions.

• Income Inequality: The pandemic has exacerbated existing inequalities, leading to discussions on fair wages, wealth distribution, social safety nets, and policies to address disparities.

• Technological Disruption: Emerging technologies like artificial intelligence, automation, blockchain, and 5G are transforming industries, raising questions about job displacement, regulation, and ethical considerations.

• Remote Work and Hybrid Work Models: The pandemic normalised remote work, prompting businesses to reassess traditional office setups and adopt hybrid models. This shift has implications for productivity, employee well-being, and organisational culture.

• Fluid Worker and Fluid Job Paradigm Based on Technological Change

• Financial Market Volatility: Market volatility persists due to uncertainties surrounding the pandemic, inflation, monetary policy decisions, and geopolitical developments. Investors are closely monitoring these factors and adjusting their portfolios accordingly.

• Supply Chain Resilience: The pandemic exposed vulnerabilities in global supply chains, leading to discussions on reshoring, diversification, just-in-case inventory strategies, and technology-enabled supply chain management.
