INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR INDIAN MANAGEMENT RESEARCH (IAIMR)
http://www.glakes.org/iaimr.htm
Management education and training have become highly popular. Yet,
there is not a systematic body of management knowledge to explain how
Indian firms operate and why some have achieved phenomenal results.
Existing evidence shows that management practices imported from
outside have not been effective in India. How Indian companies and the
Indian workforce in aggregate are able to sustain the levels of
performance over the past several years remains an intellectual puzzle
that begs for a scholarly explanation. It is the wish to solve this
intellectual puzzle and to fill this knowledge gap that seeded the
idea for the International Association for Indian Management Research
(IAIMR).
IAIMR aims to promote, facilitate, and advance the field of Indian
management research by scholars both inside and outside India. IAIMR
will be the bridge that links management scholars around the globe
with India as a common interest. It will provide a forum for the
intellectual exchange, mutual learning, and collective pursuit of
questions about firm behavior and individual behavior within firms in
the rapidly changing Indian landscape. Knowledge generated will be
useful not only to broaden the effective management of firms in India
but also, more importantly, contribute to the body of management
knowledge globally. IAIMR will be the instrument to facilitate and
promote international collaboration in the intellectual development of
India-centric management research that will add significant value to
global knowledge.
IAIMR is a professional, academic organization to serve scholars,
students, managers, and consultants who are interested in advancing
knowledge about management of organizations operating in the Indian
context. The primary goal of the organization is to promote scholarly
studies of organization and management of firms in the Indian context.
