Targets of the Conference The emerging paradigm of sustainable forest management (SFM), which aroused as a response of policy makers and the scientific community to the alarming state of the global environment, demands an innovative, well-grounded and comprehensive conceptual framework of managerial economics and accounting. Such critically important issues as complex ecosystem management which meet the diverse and dynamic demands of different stakeholders - both present and future generations - should be crucial point of this framework. Multi-attribute and transparent forest accounting should provide a sound background for forest management.
Similarly, delivering relevant managerial economics and accounting research findings to decision makers and entrepreneurs, and transferring research knowledge to society for the sake of shaping environmentally responsible production and consumption of forest goods and services are critical for designing sustainable forest management practices at local, regional, and national levels. These issues become even more critical under conditions of transition economy and weak institutional environment.
Accordingly, the central focus of the symposium will be on the discussion of recent research findings in the field of managerial economics and accounting for SFM, bringing together all stakeholders to highlight new questions/issues related to the managerial economics and accounting, and to deliver new knowledge to society to accelerate the implementation of SFM for the common benefits. |
