Research Conference on
Revisiting Management Functions: Lesson learned and the road
ahead
It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the
most intelligent that survives. It is the one that is the
most adaptable to change- Charles Darwin
Past few years have been very eventful. While we see the
innovation taking the centre stage, newer
companies such as Apple, Google globally and Airtel in India
emerged and changed the rule of the
game. Technology on one hand made the life simpler; it made the
business even complex in a way it is
carried out. First web revolution followed by Mobile and now
cloud computing posed a new
challenges to the academicians and business managers who are now
required to revisit the practices
they have themselves devised over the past few years. This calls
for a radical approach wherein they
are to look back and learned from the experiences in the past
and adjust themselves with the
changing scenario to make them competitive enough to survive
this complex situation and come out
as a winner.
It is in this back drop this conference is organised where all
the stakeholders, students, academicians,
Policy makers, executers and industry stalwarts would share the
common platform to deliberate over
the changing landscape of business and the role of management
functions in such situation.
Therefore we at MERC Institute of Management invite your esteem
presence for the Research
Conference on Revisiting Management Functions: Lesson learned
and the road ahead.
