Dr. Shafie bin Mohamed Zabri
Chairman,
International Conference on Technology Management,
Business and Entrepreneurship (ICTMBE) 2016

Assalamualaikum and Salam 1 Malaysia.
On behalf of the ICTMBE Organizing Committee, I am delighted to welcome all delegates and participants to UNESCO world heritage site, Melaka, where we host the 5th series of International Conference of Technology Management, Business and Entrepreneurship (ICTMBE 2016).  This conference intends to bring delegates to share knowledge, exchange experiences and disseminate ideas with its central theme of “Innovating Business Capabilities in Economic Uncertainties”.

This 5th ICTMBE series has received overwhelming response from authors who want to participate in this conference and we are glad that most papers submitted are accepted to be presented in this conference, some without correction and some with corrections. For the first time in the ICTMBE conference series, all accepted papers that are presented in this conference will be published in Scopus or ISI indexed journals.

I would like to extend my outmost appreciation to our honorable guests, Mr. Wan Jusaini Rizal Wan Nasruddin, Director of SME Corp. Johor, and Assoc. Prof. Dr. Nor Hazana Abdullah, for their willingness to participate as our keynote speakers for this conference. Special thanks also goes to Dr. Mohd Lizam Mohd Diah, Dean of Faculty of Technology Management and Business, UTHM for his support throughout the planning of this year’s conference, as well as in officiating this conference.

I would also like to highlight that this is the 5th time that the Faculty of Technology Management and Business, University Tun Hussein Onn Malaysia has been partnered with UTHM Commercial Sdn. Bhd. who has been providing the necessary support to make this event a reality. Therefore I would like to extend my deepest appreciation to those who have directly or indirectly contributed their commitment and energy organizing this event especially to the organizing committees who have been workeing very hard for making this conference a great success.

Finally, I hope all the delegates will have a good time and take advantage of the many sights to see in this charming and beautiful historical city during your stay here, in Melaka.

See you again next year in 6th ICTMBE 2017!
