As we stand at the juncture of this new millennium, business and industry stands on the sharp edge of double-sided sword. Change is engulfing us like never before; older paradigms are fast outfacing newer ones. Survival of the fittest has long become extinct, and survival of the most innovative is slowly giving way to an emerging paradigm ‘survival of the most adaptable’. At the business forefront, challenges are abound: boundaries between industries are falling leading to convergence, product life-cycles are increasingly becoming shorter, technologies are proliferating in a flat world, innovations disrupting existing industries and a lot more.
In this new era, the future will belong to those who can manage change seamlessly across boundaries. Keeping this underlying theme in mind, Research Seminar 2015 invited papers from academicians, researchers, industry practitioners to present their research findings on the evolving areas of Management in the light of the changing scenario.
The Seminar on ‘Changing Business Scenario & Evolving Management Practices’ aimed to build awareness on implementation of best practices in organizations. Research Seminar 2015 endeavored to create a wider reach and network between the industry and the academia. The Seminar provided a unique platform to an eclectic blend of young and experienced researchers from the academics and industry to present their research articles and case studies on the relevant issues of Management pertaining to diverse domains.
