January 4- 6, 2016, Indian Institute of Management Bangalore
Conference Directors:
- Professor Ramnath Narayanswamy
- Professor Sunita Singh Sengupta
Conference Background:
Close to a decade now the world has been experiencing turmoil on several fronts: the reawakening of the Cold War between the West and Russia; the meteoric economic ascent of China; a debilitating financial crisis that engulfs the world; religious strife that put the Middle East on fire; nationalist fundamentalism raising its head from the USA to India; ethnic intolerance and the rise of antisemitism and islamophobia in Europe; the global debate on whether or not we are into a climate change and what to do about it; and the seismic effects of disruptive technologies on our daily lives - any and all forcing us to take note that matters are no longer as usual. We are becoming used to the idea of 'new normals' along a wide front of issues, beliefs and common practice.
One of those areas where reality is challenging us to confront long held convictions is that of management. Management writ large, that is, the way we conduct our civic and personal affairs; and management as a business discipline - the way we go about crafting work environments in which all of us are embedded since the onset of the industrial revolution. The questions we are forced to confront have to do with the fundamentals of our business environments. How do we go about setting objectives, how to we go about obtaining these objectives, how do we go about harnessing resources in the process - physical, monetary and human?
To explore this interface between spirituality and management, IIM Bangalore in collaboration with the Vedic Foundations of Indian Management in New Delhi are coming together to hold an international conference on Indigenous Models on Sustainability, Good Governance and Spiritual Transformation at IIM Bangalore between January 4-6, 2016.
Submissions are encouraged from practitioners, academia as well as doctoral scholars. Contributions are encouraged to focus on the themes relating to Sustainability, Good Governance and Spiritual Transformation. However other themes related to spirituality and management are also encouraged. Contributions should not have been sent for publication elsewhere and should be prepared specifically for this conference. We plan to bring out a volume on Spirituality and Management that can serve as a textbook for an elective course for the MBA curriculum.
