Strategies in Decision-Making in Conflict and Cooperation Situations
22-23.09.2025 - Ustroń
About the conference
The "Strategies in Decision-Making in Conflict and Cooperation Situations" conference is an annual forum for exchanging views and experiences related to decision-making and strategy development in organizations.
There is no doubt that traditional management approaches are being challenged by a range of issues, including political unrest, economic instability, inequalities, rapid technological advancements, environmental degradation, and social problems. One of the key aspects in this turbulent environment is supporting decision-making through IT solutions, cybersecurity, and telecommunications services, often with sustainability considerations in mind.
This is why the theme of this year's 19th edition of the conference is:
"The Empowerment of Contemporary Management."
