AIM
Sub Themes
Leaders are expected to behave ethically. Today there is a growing demand from the
society and other stakeholders that leaders should come out of their narrow thinking
processes and focus on integrated and inclusive decision making where the interest of
mul ple stakeholders including society and environment are also taken care of. With
expanding boundaries of business and technology coupled with a more vibrant
economic, poli cal, and social structure of the world complexity in leadership and
management prac ces has increased manifold o en leading to unethical prac ces. It
won’t be inappropriate to say that current leadership and management prac ces are
aiming for doing larger things instead of be er things. Probably this is the reason that
today we have more experts and so is the case with world problems. Somehow, wisdom in
leadership and management prac ces is lost in the narrow and divisive decision making It
is strongly realized now by the world that for developing ethical leadership and
management prac ces, a congruence of secular (material) and sacred (spiritual)
dimensions is must for bringing change in the world based on connectedness, love, trust,
and harmony so that peace and prosperity across the world can be achieved.
The theme of the conference is that how could spirituality which is the founda on of
universal love and source of our existence be a solu on for ethical leadership and
management prac ces. This interna onal conference is being organized to provide a
common pla orm for everybody to discuss, exchange, and present the ideas, thoughts,
and research work so as to develop a be er understanding on the theme of the
conference.
