About the Conference

The present decade of 21st century, is characterized by intense competition and dynamic changes in the business world. Understanding the nature of global trends has never been more important ever before. Volatility, inflationary trends, growing inequalities among and within the countries and the slowing down of employment growth are some of the challenges. Business concerns and companies across the world are attempting to grapple with the changing business environment and it is realized that executing an existing strategy may no longer be enough. Businesses and economies need to think more deeply about the opportunities and risks presented by evolving trends and chart a roadmap to success.

Global economies are so interdependent and interconnected that companies, governments and industries are compelled to cooperate in the ways that could not have been imagined a few years ago. We now see the emerging markets becoming hotbeds of innovation and serving as the world's economic growth engine especially in efforts to reach the growing middle class and low–income consumers around the globe. The far-reaching effects of their spectacular rise will continue to influence business environment all over the world.

Rapid population growth, demand for sustainable economic development, a growing middle class, cut throat competition, easy access to credit, demanding customers, internal and external liberalization, macroeconomic stabilization, restructuring of banking and finance, growing MSME sector, opening to the world and economic integration are making many companies look at their functioning in a whole new way.

In the face of continually evolving situations, business leaders need to keep their organizational strategies updated, ensure that their organizations continue to look ahead, and use strategies to improve overall performance. Leaders need to plan for a range of scenarios, abandoning assumptions about where competition and risk could come from, and not be afraid to look beyond long-established models. Organizations will also need to keep their employees' skills up-to-date and balance the potential benefits of emerging trends with the risks they sometimes pose.

This international conference “Emerging Trends in Business and Economy: Mapping the Way Ahead” aims at throwing light on the current trends that will shape the future of business and economy. It will be an opportunity for assessing these trends and will provide a forum to deliberate upon the strategies that can be adopted to leverage the opportunities.

The conference is being organized by the Department of Management Studies, Poornima Group of Colleges and the Poornima University, Jaipur in collaboration with Hanyang University Business School, Seoul (South Korea), School of Management, Asian Institute of Technology, Bangkok, (Thailand) and JK Lakshmipat University, Jaipur.
