ABOUT THE CONFERENCE
Twenty-rst-century-Global Economy has entered an era of complex, multi-dimensional
metamorphosis that includes nancial crisis, environmental catastrophes, mass poverty, inequality,
economic and political conicts. Applied Economics that normally deals with practical issues within
wider range of elds viz demography, business, labour, industrial organization development,
education, health, monetary sector, public sector etc., is in present times, in a state of catharsis.
Globalization-Liberalization has given rise to new opportunities, opened up wide horizons and also
brought with it fresh challenges and responsibilities. With ever shrinking globe, world market is
severely affected and inuenced by nancial upheavels happening among leading economies,
inuenced by various factors, manmade or natural, often witnessed during times of nancial downturn
cycle, followed by recession, growing unemployment, weak aggregate demand compounded by scal
austerity, high public debt burdens, ination, so on and so forth.
The importance of Management as a discipline has been increased enormously in the present globalized
era due to increase in the size and complexity of organizations, turbulent environment and worldwide
cut throat competition. Beyond that, the role of a manager in the competitive world has dramatically
been shifted from traditional management practices. Part of the most Management text-books curricula
is taking care of the growing requirement of the society to adopt ever changing market paradigms. There
is a need to deliberate on the various issues that managers take recourse to in order to harness the
opportunities available as also face the challenges and be prepared with the proactive approach to
combat these issues of varying complexities.
Through this conference, various issues concerning management practices and contemporary economic
issues shall be raised and it would hopefully arrive at a prudent and logical conclusion which policy
makers could use as guiding principles at various levels of planning and decision making. The
conference aims at initiating an in-depth and comprehensive debate and deliberations of acceptable
standards regarding present status, challenges and issues confronting the present Indian economic
environment and management system in relation to and in context of present global economic scenario.
The two-day international conference is expected to strive to bring academicians, researchers, business
managers, professionals, practitioners, scholars and policy makers together on one platform, for
exchange and sharing their experiences, ideas and research results, related to different aspects of
Applied Economics and Business Management.
