Call for Contributions – Business Archives & Resilience ICA/SBA 2024 Conference

This year’s Conference of the ICA Section on Business Archives (SBA) will take place in Warsaw, Poland. This event is scheduled for from 22 to 24 September 2024 and will be organised by the Polish Development Bank (BGK) and Kozminski University. 

To participate in this event as a speaker, a call for contributions is currently open, inviting proposals in line with the conference theme: Business Archives & Resilience. 

Resilience refers to an organization’s ability to withstand, recover from, and adapt to adversities, disruptions, or uncertainties, ensuring sustainability and growth. Business archives play a crucial role in fostering organizational resilience, enabling firms to navigate challenges and adapt to change. By preserving historical records, business archives provide invaluable insights into past strategies, successes, and failures. This rich repository aids in decision-making, risk management, and strategic planning, equipping businesses with the knowledge to anticipate future trends, mitigate risks, and seize opportunities. Thus, business archives are not just repositories of history but are foundational to building a resilient and adaptive corporate culture. In the context of an ever-evolving business landscape, this conference aims to delve into the intersection of business archives and resilience.
