Aims and Objectives

The Doctoral Research Conference (DRC) 2024 aspires to set a benchmark in academic excellence by congregating doctoral candidates from prestigious institutions within India. Our mission extends beyond conventional academic discourse, aiming to sculpt a nurturing ground for scholarly development, collaboration, and innovation in the vast expanse of management research. The objectives of the conference are carefully designed to mirror our commitment to academic excellence, innovation, and scholarly exchange:

We aim to spotlight and support outstanding research by doctoral students in various domains of management, including but not limited to Operations Management, Entrepreneurship, Finance and Accounting, Economics and Public Policy, Information Systems, Marketing, Organizational Behavior, Human Resources Management, and Strategy. By doing so, we encourage a tradition of rigorous and impactful research.

The conference is dedicated to enabling direct engagement between upcoming researchers and distinguished academicians from both national and international borders. This interaction aims to provide doctoral candidates with critical feedback, enabling them to refine their research with an eye toward publication and broader dissemination.
One of our core objectives is to cultivate an environment conducive to collaborative efforts among researchers from diverse institutional backgrounds. We believe that interdisciplinary and cross-institutional collaborations are pivotal in advancing management research, addressing complex problems, and fostering innovation.
Reflecting the multifaceted nature of management research, the conference welcomes submissions across a spectrum of methodological approaches, including analytical, empirical, quantitative, qualitative, and conceptual studies. This inclusive approach ensures a rich, varied discourse capable of advancing the frontiers of management knowledge

Through these objectives, the Doctoral Research Conference 2024 seeks to cultivate a vibrant community of researchers, foster innovative research, and contribute significantly to the global body of knowledge in management sciences. We invite doctoral candidates who are on the completion stage of their thesis to join us in this scholarly endeavor, promising an enriching experience that combines rigorous academic scrutiny with opportunities for personal and professional growth.
