ICAME continues a tradition of bringing together researchers, academics and professionals from all over the world, experts in management, accounting and economics. ICAME 2018 is a conference for research in the areas of accounting, management and economics. Although it is only its third year, it has already witnessed a significant growth. As an evidence, ICAME 2018 received a record of 119 submissions. The conference particularly encouraged the interaction of research students and developing academics with the more established academic community in an informal setting to present and to discuss new and current works. Their contributions helped to make the conference as outstanding as it has been. The papers contributed the most recent scientific knowledge known in the field of management, accounting and economics.
