About the conference Every organization and individual has its own style of management, which leads to success or failure. The business is practised according to its objectives and specialization. Professional organizations operate business in professional approach and others do in their individual and native approach. The practice of one cannot be copied alike to achieve the best results. Hence, it is important to understand several different practices and approaches to management, and then select the most appropriate for success. This conference will act as a floor for understanding various business practices across the globe. The goal of the forum is to provide a lively informal venue where a variety of questions and ideas regarding Indigenous Management Practices be presented and discussed by academics, research scholars and other professionals in an interdisciplinary and creative environment. The focus will be on the current management concepts within the context of practical problems. The conference is for the academicians, researchers, students, and for corporates having special interest in their research and practice to share their experience and knowledge. The conference will bring their creative ideas to a common platform. The research articles of the conference will be published in leading journals and an edited volume. Deliberations in indigenous management practices across nations will be an opportunity for the corporate and academic community to get awareness and appreciate especially in management research and education.
