Introduction
The Faculty of Management Studies (FMS) proudly organizes the 7th Management Undergraduates’ Research Session (MURS) under the theme of “Paradigm Shifts in Management Research: Inspirations for Reshaping Business Landscapes for a Sustainable Future”. In an era marked by rapid technological innovation, climate urgency, and social transformation, the foundational paradigms of management theory and practice are being challenged. As the global business environment becomes increasingly complex and interconnected, there is a critical need to reimagine the principles that guide organizational behavior, strategy, and leadership.
This theme invites scholars, students, and practitioners to explore transformative perspectives that challenge traditional frameworks and inspire innovative approaches to management. It emphasizes the necessity for research that adapts to changing economic and environmental realities and actively works towards creating a more inclusive, ethical, and sustainable business environment. By encouraging critical inquiry and bold thinking, MURS aims to foster a collaborative space where emerging voices and established expertise converge to envision the future of management research.
The conference is held annually to emphasize the importance of research as a fundamental part of academic education and to engage young scholars in research early in their careers. It features presentations by students from seven academic disciplines in which the faculty has expertise. All final- year undergraduates in the faculty who are completing their dissertations are encouraged to submit their extended abstracts as collaborative research with their respective academic supervisors. Additionally, young researchers, both locally and internationally, in the field of management are invited to participate in the 7th Management and Undergraduate Research Symposium (MURS).
