About DMS Research Week
The objective of Research-Week seminar is to share perspectives in various areas of Management Research with stakeholders of Department of Management Studies (DMS). The DMS has ongoing engagement with research in multiple functional areas of Management and both the faculty, graduate and post-graduate students are actively involved in regular research activity. Seminar presentations during the research-week aim for a constructive dialogue about several topics of importance for academia and practitioners in the area of Management. This should help in promoting the application of research results in wider stakeholder community as well as further development and refinement of researchers’ work. An additional attraction of the programme is the undergraduate management challenge, where select students will vie for the best idea that can potentially sharpen corporate business strategy and help a company to maintain its nose in front of the competition!
