CamEd Center for Business Research

Welcome Message from the Chair of the Center

Welcome to CamEd Center for Business Research! As the number one higher education institute in Cambodia, CamEd has built a fine reputation based on the quality of our programs and the practicality of our teaching approach, which has earned trust and admiration from all relevant employers. Our research activities have been an integral part of the overall success. Recognizing the crucial role that research plays in sustaining success and expanding our horizon, our Board of Trustees, acting upon the advice from its strategically forward-looking Chairman Dr. Virak Prum, decided to establish CamEd Center for Business Research. The Center– being an upgrade of the existing Research Committee– continues to serve as a platform for our professors to publish their research findings. You are invited to browse this site to read all the publications available for free of charge. As we expand, we continually seek partnerships with like-minded centers and institutions around the world.

Since our faculty members have diverse backgrounds, we hope to partner up with interested collaborators in areas related to both theoretical and applied business, economics, finance, accounting, law, entrepreneurship as well as social enterprise. As our journey unfolds, I personally invite you to check our site often to learn more about our research results and activities which might interest you. Thank you for tuning in. Have a nice time browsing.

Symposium / Conference / Seminar

How did a Health Crisis translate to an Economic Crisis? - The Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic

2020 International Virtual Research Symposium was held on 15 November (Sunday)

About the Symposium:

The economic downturn caused by the current COVID-19 pandemic outbreak has a profound impact on the society and economy across the regions. The spread of the virus led to the international travel restrictions, closure of businesses and financial markets. This has severely affected the level of economic activities and greatly damaged the global economic growth. However, it is also assumed that the decreasing economic activities along with mobility restrictions directly led to the changes of energy consumption and further prevent the environment from pollution. In addition, it is argued that higher government spending has a positive impact on the level of economic activities. In this context, it is important to critically look into the impact of the Covid-19 on various sectors and economic activities to draw policy measures for the country.

Against the above background, the 2020 virtual research symposium was intended to bring together researchers, academicians, policy makers, corporates and students to exchange and disseminate their research results and experiences on all aspects of issues arising out of the Covid -19 pandemic in the region and beyond.

In addition to CamEd team, universities from abroad (University of Winnipeg, Canada and Osaka University, Japan) and international organizations such as UNDP, ILO, IOM, EWMI have also presented their research works.
