Academics, policy makers, business leaders, professionals, and doctorate students can choose from a wide range of programs.

    In addition, since ICBE Proceedings Journal’s inclusion in Web of Science CPCI, we have received large demand for some extension of the scope of the conference submission, including new Business, Social Sciences, and Multidisciplinary research and the methodology of Case Study Research, Short Communications, Research Notes, Qualitative Research, Conceptual Research, which require non-quantitative research methods and non-econometrics and/or statistical analysis.  In this regard, the ICBE2020 conference will invite selectively some non-quantitative/non-econometric papers if those articles satisfactorily meet the required quality and standards of ICBE Proceedings Journal.

    To congratulate Best Paper Awards and Awards for Service Excellence winners and welcome all participants in the ICBE2020 Jeju conference, a welcoming reception with a gala dinner along with an award ceremony will be held in the evening of the opening day of the conference, on November 26, 2020.

Jeju has a moderate climate; even in winter, the temperature rarely falls below 0 °C (32 °F). Jeju is a popular holiday destination and a sizable portion of the economy relies on tourism and economic activity from its civil/naval base. The current Jeju International Airport is crowded, as it was designed to service 26 million people but services “30 million, which is 4 million more than it was designed to handle. The current desire of the existing Jeju International airport includes wanting to add more direct flights, nonstop to major cities including Tokyo, Osaka, Beijing, Shanghai and Taipei.
