Call for Abstracts `n` Papers - Athenaeum
Bharathidasan Institute of Management TRICHY, INDIA Center for Contemporary Management Research (CECMAR), the research wing of Bharathidasan Institute of Management (BIM) is back with seventh edition of its International Conference on Management Research, Athenaeum 2016. Over the years, Athenaeum has carved a niche for itself in the management research space as being an effective forum to discuss ideas in contemporary management, sowing seeds of innovation and development. Athenaeum, derived from the Greek word, “Athenion”, refers to the temple for the Greek goddess of wisdom, Athena. Greek history tells us that it is here where scholars congregated to deliberate and nurture philosophy. True to its name, Athenaeum has been a confluence of academicians, researchers, consultants, students, practitioners and industry leaders discussing and sharing ideas that could transform the future of management. They benefit from the opportunity to collaborate and learn from, and with, each other. Earlier editions of Athenaeum have seen large scale participation from academic and non-academic worlds. Delegates from countries such as USA, France, Mexico, Belgium, Malaysia, Indonesia, Sri Lanka, Mauritius, Saudi Arabia, Sultanate of Oman, Iran, Bangladesh, Israel, Taiwan, Pakistan and Ghana, have participated in and presented their scholarly works. Athenaeum 2016 will be bigger and better than its previous installments as we plan to extend the platform for allied fields. Special sessions on ‘trends in qualitative research’ and ‘publishing in high impact journals’ are other value-additions. Conference Theme The world today has created new environment and opportunities setting new expectations, competition and challenges. Organizations and markets are in transition towards digital, smart and network age. Emerging trends and practices have established higher standards creating new benchmarks. Are managers, leaders, and entrepreneurs up to the task of tackling the great transformation that we face? Most would argue that they are not. With a mix of high-profile practitioners and thought leaders in their respective fields,Athenaeum will provide impulses to the emerging global dialogue on mastering this key challenge of managing transformation. Theme for Athenaeum 2016 is, therefore ‘Managing Transformation.’ It will dive into exemplary research insights that point at a new direction. Participants will gain new perspectives from concrete facts that they might include in their strategies and their own practices as they prepare for the future.
