Indian Institute of Management (IIM) Kozhikode will host the second Pan-IIM World Management Conference supported by the Ministry of Human Resources Development and collectively organised by 13 IIMs.
The conference will be held at IIM Kozhikode campus in Kerala, from November 5 to 8, 2014 on the theme ‘Globalizing Indian Thought,’ said the institute in a press institute.
The theme,‘Globalizing Indian Thought’ emphasises the Indian management approaches that have found international recognition in recent times.
Indian businesses have evolved their own management styles such as Jugaad innovation and India as a country has a rich legacy of its original science such as yoga, Ayurveda, vastushastra, among others. These practices and techniques have caught global attention.
The conference aims at bringing together global scholars to one of the fastest growing economies of the world. The conference will deliberate on issues that will impact global management thoughts in the years to come.
Prof. Kulbhushan Balooni, Director, IIM Kozhikode said, “IIMs have different functional and sectoral expertise, region specific industry access and clout and understanding of local practices. Collectively IIMs can emerge as a formidable force in exploring newer frontiers of management science. The West is increasingly interested today in decoding the phenomena in the emerging markets.”
The conference will have experts from Wharton Business School, ESCP Paris, policy makers, leaders from Indian industry who would share Indian management thinking and how it can impact global businesses.
Apart from the Common Admission Test (CAT), this is another big platform that brings all IIMs together.
