International Conference 2024

As the world evolves, so do the complexities and demands of managing businesses and people. Contemporary issues in management refer to the current and relevant challenges,trends, and developments that affect organizations, leaders, and managers in today’s dynamic business environment.

In light of declining GDPs in many nations, increasing inflation, the war in the Ukraine and Russia, trade tensions, and geopolitical unpredictability, experts around the world have been debating whether the world economy is on the verge of entering a recession. Further, there is a growing emphasis on inclusive growth, digital innovation and climate change. The conference will deliberate on such key issues and discuss the solutions thereof. This conference will provide a platform for researchers, scholars, academicians, practitioners, entrepreneurs and industry experts to share their latest research findings, discuss emerging trends in management, and exchange knowledge 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 will feature keynote speeches from renowned scholars and industry leaders, panel discussions on emerging trends, practitioner-led workshop sessions, and an excellent networking platform. The goal is to foster collaboration, exchange ideas, and inspire further research and practical implementations in the field of management. We invite original research papers for presentation from industry practitioners, doctoral scholars, and academicians on the impact of these contemporary issues on business sustainability and excellence.
