The twelfth annual IMR Doctoral Conference (IMRDC) is being held on 4, 5 & 6, February 2021. This year’s edition of IMRDC will be a virtual one, on account of the pandemic, with all the conference presentations and interactions occurring online.
IMRDC is an annual doctoral consortium co-organised by IIMB Management Review, IIMB’s flagship academic quarterly, and the Office of the Doctoral Programme. IMRDC aims to encourage research and scholarship among doctoral students in Management Science. To this end, IMR initiated and instituted the country's first annual Doctoral Students Conference for management scholars in 2009. We envisage a three-day virtual event with paper presentations by doctoral students and invited talks by leading researchers, academics and practitioners. In its twelfth edition now, the Conference has established itself as a flagship event in the doctoral community.
The objective of IMRDC is to identify and encourage interesting and important research by doctoral students in Management, which includes the areas of Decision Sciences and Information Systems, Economics and Public Policy, Entrepreneurship, Finance and Accounting, Marketing, Organizational Behavior & Human Resources Management, Production and Operations Management, and Strategy. In its first edition, in 2009, the Conference received 20 papers from select institutions, and this year, in its twelfth edition, IMRDC has received 90 papers across areas from several institutions in India; we have also had submissions from international universities. Of the 90 submissions, 10 have been selected for presentation after three rounds of review. The papers selected for final presentation will have a dedicated discussant to critique the paper and offer comments and constructive feedback.
The Keynote speakers at IMRDC 2021 include:
-
Prof. Marc-David L. Seidel, the RBC Financial Group Professor of Entrepreneurship, Director of the W. Maurice Young Centre for Entrepreneurship and Venture Capital Research, and Associate Professor of OBHR at the Sauder School of Business at the University of British Columbia. Prof. Seidel will address the question, “What's the purpose of research?”
-
Prof. Jagadeesh Sivadasan, the Jack D. Sparks-Whirlpool Corporation Research Professor of Business Administration in the business economics and public policy group of the Ross School of Business, University of Michigan. An alumnus of IIMB, Prof. Sivadasan will speak on “Recent empirical approaches in research on firm and worker productivity”.
-
Prof. Mukta Kulkarni, a Professor in the Organizational Behavior & Human Resources Management area, and the Mphasis Chair for Digital Accessibility and Inclusion at the Indian Institute of Management Bangalore. Prof. Kulkarni will speak on “Engaging with qualitative research”.
