Post pandemic the business organisations have realised that being sustainable is cardinal for their own as well as the survival of humanity. As organisations continue to transform their business processes and products into more sustainable ones, they are on the constant lookout for strategies and solutions which aligns with their social and business goals. The quintessential characteristic of the relatively resilient firms was their flexibility and the ability to digitally transform their processes. Through GLOGIFT 22 conference we seek to collate and discuss the ideas and solutions proposed by disparate groups on sustainability, flexibility and digital transformation.
GLOBAL INSTITUTE OF FLEXIBLE SYSTEMS MANAGEMENT (GIFT) is a registered society for promoting Flexibility as a concept. The need of GIFT is felt because the continuously changing economic and technological scenario is posing newer challenges to manage the emerging situations, and thus, requiring newer paradigms to match with the reality more effectively. The emerging management issues signify change, complexity and multiplicity demanding high degree of responsiveness, adaptability and openness in management. A radical change is taking place in management thought shattering the older paradigms leading to evolution of a new management paradigm. Though apparently all the emerging approaches are different, the bottom line is flexibility. In order to enrich the management paradigm to meet the current reality and the challenges of the new millennium a pressing need was felt by various management professionals to have a common forum for interactive participation and learning. This professional body has been created to meet such a challenge.
LM THAPAR SCHOOL OF MANAGEMENT (LMTSM) was established on July 23, 2007 in the erstwhile princely state of Patiala (Punjab, India),under the flagship of Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology (Deemed-to be-University), a 64-year-old academic institution. The tech-savvy new campus at Derabassi on the outskirts of Chandigarh is set on a sprawling area of 33 acres. With students from all across India, LMTSM has a residential facility for over 500 students. LMTSM is ranked 42 by the NIRF 2021 rankings for its Management courses. The Institute takes pride in being the architects and builders of the new India and a new Indian business model embedded in its cultural realities and contemporary aspirations.
