Conference Focus
In the era of global interdependence, organisations and work situations have to be viewed as laboratories for inter-cultural cooperation. Managing individuals and organisations successfully in turbulent and highly diverse environments require, among others, a better understanding of commonalities and differences of these contexts. Accordingly, the present times advocate the need for appreciating cross-cultural perspectives and orientations in the way the challenges of workforce / consumer diversity are addressed in today's transnational and multicultural context. This Conference thus, aims at identifying and debating various cross cultural issues confronting today's business leaders for effectively managing global enterprises.

The main objective of the conference is to set a synergetic platform for discussions and closer interactions among participants coming from different backgrounds and countries. The delegates will have the opportunity to present their contributions besides establishing networks among those who wish to communicate study and research on the issues, concerns and prospects in the field of cross-cultural management. The Conference aims to bring together Management practitioners, academicians, policy makers, researchers and other experts to share their insights on the subject, as visualised from national/global perspective and past/current/future standpoints.
