Innovative shared-risk initiatives such as crowd funding, and the sharing of ideas through open innovation and purpose-based innovation communities, further challenge our conception of funding, innovating and organizing.

International Conference on Organization and Management on Innovative  Management  Practices: Challenges and Opportunities in the 21st Century, Asia Academy of Management, Abu Dhabi.

Globalization has presented many challenges as well as opportunities to organizations across all types of industries in both the Eastern and the Western countries.   Innovative  management  practices  can  sustain  organizations  without  depleting  organizational  resources.  However,  Innovative  management  practices  that have worked well for the occidental world may not be equally effective for the oriental world. The aim of the conference was to explore the innovative management practices that organizations in Asia engage in while managing their organizational resources for the benefit of both primary and secondary stakeholders.

Speaking on Structural and Governance Challenges in Farmer Producer Companies
The worker co-operative model has (re)emerged as an organizational model responding to the changes within the world of work. As against the conventional model of an employee earning wages by his/her labour; the workers play an active role in owning, managing, planning and executing  the work. However, the combined role of being a worker as well as the owner is not without its challenges.


The evolving industrial climate with an increasing role of information and communication technology, automation, platform-based enterprises, growth of service enterprises etc. have created a major shift in the ecosystem of economies around the world.

AIB India Conference: International Business and the Make in India Perspective

The  2018  AIB - India  Chapter  Conference  explores  the  new  opportunities  and challenges created by the “Make in India” perspective. This includes changes in the economic, technological, and  social  environment  for  players  including  MNEs, SMEs, new ventures, and born globals, as well as for firms from other countries that are doing business with India. International business in the “Make in India” context, the emergence of the “Make in  India”  perspective,  and  associated  changes  in  the  character  of  international business activity, all need to be examined-from a range of macro, meso, and micro perspectives. 


 
International Conference on Sustainable Management, IIM Kashipur

Sustainable Management is no  longer  considered a  burden or  an  obligation, though its scope and significance is not fully understood or practised. The basic premise is that resources are not limitless; therefore our planet cannot survive mindless  over exploitation  of  any  one  or  more  resources  in  the  pursuit  of sectarian   interests.

Speaking on 'Sustainable Development in a Globalized World'

Sustainability   is   therefore   the   key,   and   sustainable management  tends  to  achieve  that  by  creating  products  and  services  that consume less resources and polluting even less. In the process, it addresses the three  pillars  of  sustainability:  protecting  the  environment,  taking  care  of  the needs  of  the  present  and  future  generations,  as  well  the  economy.  But implementation of  sustainable  management  demands a  shift  in  focus,  beliefs and  actions  with  commensurate  adjustments in systems, processes,  work methods and practices. 

Speaking on 'Cross-Sector Social Partnerships for Business Sustainability'


Special Conference of Strategic Management Society, Chicago - Rethinking Corporate Strategy in the Age of Paradox at ISB Hyderabad.

"The world around us is changing in startling ways. We have, arguably, entered an age of paradox – an age of simultaneous, interdependent, and persistent contradictions. Digital disruption and societal turbulence across the globe are putting phenomenal pressure on corporations, and existing paradigms in corporate strategy seem insufficient to provide guidance in these turbulent times. Strategic management, as a field, may have a golden opportunity to reinvent itself" - SMS Organizers.
