The GIM Doctoral Conference (GIMDC - 2023)
The GIM Doctoral Conference (GIMDC - 2023) aims to promote research in management studies among doctoral students, emphasizing emergent, relevant local, national and international issues. Towards this goal, GIM initiates its first Doctoral Students’ Conference in the Management domain.
The conference intends to bring together doctoral students from diverse institutions and provide a platform to discuss and disseminate valuable insights. It aims to offer the opportunity to interact with senior researchers and academicians in the management domain and seek help improving research work quality. Finally, it encourages future collaborative work among young researchers with different affiliations. The conference encourages participation from doctoral scholars in management discipline in India and abroad.
GIMDC Theme 2023:
New Age Management Research: Blending Business and Academia through Rigor and Relevance
The virtue of management research has always been addressing business challenges and contributing to the theoretical underpinning in academia. However, a pervasive paradox exists that management research only holds little value for practitioners. Lately, management research has witnessed a paradigm shift in creating substantial, rigorous, and relevant contributions to the business. Rigor and relevance are precursors in making management research applicable to practitioners and providing critical contributions to academia. Research inclusive of these two dimensions brings significant contributions with impactful outcomes in business and academia. Hence, practitioners and academicians are looking for exceptional quality work that balances addressing business challenges and making relevant theoretical contributions. Such research enhances the quality of decisions taken and fosters the design of appropriate policies for practitioners. And significantly contributes to the existing knowledge pool and provides future research directions for academicians.
Towards this, the GIM doctoral conference intends to provide a platform for doctoral students to share their work and seek expert insights to enhance practical and academic relevance. Research in marketing, human resources, finance, operations, data analytics, economics, and strategy is invited.
