The fourth Conference Proceeding 2024 of the international conference series ‘Contemporary Studies in Management’ (CoSiM) presents a wide-ranging collection of peer-reviewed papers that address current issues in the fields of management, digital transformation, sustainability, education, diversity and the advancement of women. The format ‘Around the World around the Clock’ enables a global scientific exchange across different time zones. The publication combines both empirical studies and theoretical work that meet the challenges of a volatile, digitalised and globalised environment. It thus forms a forward-looking basis for further discourse in management research and will remain valid for future conferences.
