Theme of SDP:
Despite the economic slowdown that impacted the world economy in recent past, it is believed that the process of globalization is irreversible.  As we progress from an economy dominated by the traditional brick and mortar models to the one of click and mortar models, we remain unsure how it will shape up the global business landscape in the near future.  Moreover the impact on the social and political ecology too remains untested.

A business model not only specifies how a company intends to make money. It also includes information about why a customer would ever want to give the company any money.  At present we have many business strategies but their value realization is very low. The customers are having enough choices but they are not satisfied. This paradoxical situation demands organizations to think about new alternatives and this search is on.

The old principles are no longer work in the new economy. We need local solutions to local problems. Old models limit themselves with respect to complexity and speed of implementation. Quite contrary to the belief, innovation rests not in the technology or product, but in the business model itself. Further, new issues and concerns related to gender, social responsibility, environmental responsibility and corporate ethics are influencing the functioning of the corporate. 

While we remain uncertain over the turn of the events in the future, it would be interesting to explore the directions the global society, economy and polity would traverse in the coming years and its consequent impact on India as well as the Indian management impact on the global scenario.  The SDP would give an opportunity to the Management Faculty to understand the Emergent Business Models and Trends which are having significant bearing on value creation to all the stake holders.  This programme by bringing together academia and industry experts will seek answers for the emergent challenges posed before India’s upward thrust in the knowledge era.
