Transforming corporations into more responsible entities in the era of globalization is vital to the sustainability of both corporations and our planet. This involves not only corporations' long-lasting commitment to valuing ethical business conducts but also their innovative use of cutting-edge technologies for supporting the accomplishment of those conducts. Because of the advancement and prevalence of cutting-edge artificial intelligence (AI) technologies, the achievement of this objective is dependent, to a considerable degree, on corporations' significant efforts into revolutionizing their business operations via taking advantages of various novel AI tools/technologies. This year's theme of "Leveraging Artificial Intelligence and ESG Management for Business Excellence" will provide a forum for academics/practitioners and professionals to share their research studies/experiences/knowledge in the scope of management schemes to move forward in this spontaneous world. A short list of presented papers will be selected so that the revised and extended versions of these papers will be published in the special issue of the journal of Asia Pacific Management Review (APMR).
