3rd International Research Seminar on ‘Winning Management’

Sunday, December 21, 2008 at Convention Center, GRT Grand Hotel, Chennai

Great Lakes Institute of Management has been bringing the best brains in the world of management to India with an objective to provide world class management education.

We have tie-ups with eminent universities of international repute. One such initiative is Yale-Great Lakes Center for Management Research, started in partnership with Yale University of USA. This center aims to promote, facilitate and advance India-centric management related research which contributes to the development of basic and applied knowledge in the field of management. The center will be a bridge that links scholars around the globe with India as a common interest.

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 Yale-Great Lakes Center for Management Research.

This conference 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.

Papers on the theme and other areas of business and management like Finance, Human Resource, Marketing, Operations Management, Organizational Behavior, and Strategy would be presented. Keynote speakers include faculty from various business schools across the world like Kellogg, Stanford, Yale and IIM-Ahmedabad. Fifty five papers were received out of which thirty papers have been selected for presentation.
