About the Conference

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. The current business environment is facing issues such as geopolitical instability, trade tensions, increasing inflation, and declining GDP in many nations. Further, organizations across the world are increasingly emphasizing digital innovation, inclusive growth, and sustainability. The conference will deliberate on such key issues and discuss possible solutions. This conference will provide a platform for students, researchers, 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 both international and national participants. The event will feature keynote speeches from renowned scholars and industry leaders, along with practitioner-led workshop sessions. This year, the conference will introduce a separate student track dedicated to research poster presentations, providing students with an opportunity to showcase and discuss their research ideas and findings. Faculty members and doctoral scholars will participate through the research paper presentation track, creating distinct yet complementary platforms for research dissemination and academic engagement. The goal is to foster collaboration, exchange ideas, and inspire further research and practical implementation in the field of management. We invite original research papers from industry practitioners, doctoral scholars, and academicians on the impact of contemporary issues on business sustainability and excellence.
