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

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.

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.
