ABOUT THE CONFERENCE

Over the last 19 years, Prestige Institute of Management & Research, Indore has organised International Conferences to establish a platform where academic minds from India and across the world converge. This forum fosters meaningful discussions on current management issues, promotes collaborative endeavours, and enriches the existing knowledge reservoir. PIMR is proud to host the XIX International Conference, which serves as a vital forum for researchers, academics, practitioners and policymakers to converge. The focus of the conference lies on four key areas: Change, innovation, governance, and sustainability from a business perspective. Over two days, the presenters can benefit from engaging in workshops, enlightening plenary sessions and open discussions with esteemed scholars, faculty members, policymakers, and corporate leaders in the field.
In today's VUCA world, the interaction between trending business innovation and governance plays a critical role in promoting inclusive and sustainable growth. Corporations take into account not only the aspects of economic performance but also their social and environmental performance. Accordingly, sustainable business represents an opportunity for corporations to enhance trust and create ethical values on a larger canvas. However, a sustainable business must be economically worthwhile, so that it can have a positive impact on profitability, stimulating the long-term growth and resilience of overall societal welfare and sustainable financial solidity.
One of the purposes of the conference is to review whether Innovation with technological advancements leads to futuristic solutions that tackle global challenges. Will these lead to increased equality, empowering marginalized communities and promoting inclusive growth? Atthe outset, sustainability along with governance demands transparency with efficiency in decision-making processes resulting in optimizing resource allocation and strengthening democratic institutions. Can these convergences create collaborative spaces where governments, entrepreneurs, academia, and civil society come together to co-create solutions that have a positive impact on a global level? Can the transformative power of these alliances lead to greener and more sustainable practices? By cultivating an environment that inspires entrepreneurship, embracing digital transformation, and highlighting good governance mechanisms and sustainability, the purpose of the conference is to create a future that thrives on innovation, prosperity and well-being for all.
This Conference also aims to explore the current issues , trends , challenges and research opportunities in the space of innovation, governance, inclusion and sustainable growth. The conference would also provide a forum for dialogue/discourse for researchers, academicians, policymakers, and corporate leaders to deliberate on different aspects of management, innovation, governance and education. .
