    PURPOSE:

    In the global networked society of today, management education is a key
    contributor to face the challenges of the economy. Two critical issues in
    management education are balance and focus in understanding the "big
    picture". Often B-schools are criticized for focusing more on technical
    aspects of management while giving a short shrift to soft skills like
    communication, leadership, decision making, creativity and so on. So the
    basic question remains: How should the pedagogy be designed to equip
    students with the skills and knowledge to face the competition?

    Moreover, the demands of the business world necessitate a paradigm shift in
    the approach towards Management Education. This conference aims to cover
    several areas of management education and management research areas of
    contemporary interest. The conference would attempt to provide a real sense
    of unlimited creative teaching and learning experience.

    The Conference would attempt to look at some of the key issues in Management
    Education and find ways to address them. It features a keynote address by
    the heads of regulatory bodies, followed by technical sessions deliberating
    on these issues.

    OBJECTIVES:

    1. To enable participants to deepen their knowledge on the current status of
    business education in their respective areas of competency. This will help
    them in approaching the functional areas of management and research from a
    different perspective.

    2. To help participants to acquire current knowledge and competencies based
    on research inputs that will enable them to contribute significantly in the
    future of their organizations such as introduction of Fellowship programs,
    MDP, academia-industry interface, Corporate education etc.

    3. The participants will have a greater appreciation of the managerial
    approach to contemporary management issues of complex nature in this
    changing environment.
