TRACKS
As academicians, researchers, and practitioners, we frequently seek solace in established practices and default approaches. However, historically, the greatest scientific breakthroughs that revolutionized our understanding of the universe and its processes were made by minds who had the courage to question and challenge these statusquo and conventional beliefs. In a rapidly evolving world, it becomes paramount to challenge the existing paradigms and venture into uncharted territory to foster growth and innovation. The International Conference on Management Research (ICMR) 2023 calls for a collective reflection on unchecking the default, unlocking new possibilities and shaping the future of management studies.
The Department of Management Studies, Indian Institute of Technology, Madras (DoMS, IITM) is proud to present the inaugural edition of ICMR 2023. The conference is envisioned to unite management scholars, faculty, academic researchers and practitioners from around the world for in-depth discussions and exchange of original ideas. To jump-start these conversations, the conference seeks to offer a variety of tracks, panel discussions and sessions. We cordially invite you to participate in this transformative conference and be a part of the global conversation on management research.
