A two day International Conference on Contemporary Issues in Management was held at ISME on 22nd and 23rd of February, 2019 .
About the Conference
The changes faced by modern day business are distinctly different than those of past years. The world is undergoing change and facing challenges on various fronts for the growth and development of the country and making it a better place. Some of the issues are to promote sustainable agriculture by adopting efficient business models for achieving food & nutrition requirement, creating new jobs to provide opportunity for the unemployed & the millennial who will seek employment in coming years.
The macro environment factors such as political economy affecting global economy are playing a key role in the world of business. The backlash against globalization as witnessed after Donald Trump’s new trade barriers and trade wars with China and the rest of the world, rising crude oil prices, the US Fed’s series of rate increases are a few examples.
Conversely, the micro-environment is also significantly influencing the macro-economy. For instance, the tech startups and disruptive technologies are redefining the macro-economic environment. Disruptive innovations due to internet have redefined the trade and business through e-commerce, digital payments and new ways of delivering products and services.
The challenges faced by the modern day business today are radically different and very complex compared to the past. There is a paradigm shift across all sectors including manufacturing, agriculture, and service spheres in the face of digital disruption. Given this scenario, business needs dramatic transformation in order to tackle larger sustainability related issues such as, shifting demographics, rural-urban digital divide and global warming
The dynamic nature of Technologies like Artificial Intelligence, Big Data, Machine learning, Internet of Things, and Robotics is bringing in significant changes in our lives. These new technologies will transform every functional area of business and help us manage resources more efficiently and sustainably. Organizations need to have new business models to seize the opportunities offered by these new technologies.
It is in this context, ISME is organizing an International Conference on “Contemporary Issues in Management” which would be providing a platform for academicians, thought leaders, research scholars, entrepreneurs and industry professionals to share ideas, deliberate and generate new knowledge
