International Conference 2022

10TH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON “CONTEMPORARY ISSUES IN MANAGEMENT”, (CIM22) , 25TH AND 26TH FEBRUARY 2022 @ISME, BENGALURU, INDIA

About the Conference

Contemporary management issues often trigger in us the need to think differently from customary and time tested management practices. In a dynamic environment, new issues create the need to develop and enhance tools and practices that facilitate more adaptive responses to emerging issues when they surface.

Contemporary issues are particularly relevant to the present time of pandemic where it is important for all organisations world-wide to embrace the continuous changes in technology, economy, environment, and government policies across all sectors while remaining focused on the organisational mission and goals to remain competitive. The rise in technology adoption by businesses and consumers, economic fallout of the pandemic across the word, the rise of China as a global belligerent force and government policies moving towards a more nationalist agenda are some of the more recent changes that confront businesses and management today.

This conference will be a platform for industry practitioners, academicians, entrepreneurs and research scholars to come to together, to learn, share and discuss current and emerging topics in management with thought leaders, technologists, and learning experts. This would be a great knowledge sharing event for a diverse audience embracing international and national participants. The event has inspirational keynote speakers, practitioner-led workshop sessions, and mutually beneficial networking opportunities.This conference is funded by AIMS (Association of Indian Management Schools).

We invite original papers from interested professionals and researchers to present and participate in the conference in response to the uncertain and complex scenarios and to interconnect all these issues with business sustainability and excellence.
