Strategic Management Forum Conference

About this event

The Strategic Management Forum Conference, hosted at the Indian Institute of Management Ranchi (IIM Ranchi) in Ranchi, India, is set against the backdrop of a rapidly changing global landscape marked by interconnected challenges such as climate change, social inequality, and technological disruption. This conference aims to address these pressing issues by exploring the concept of Creating Shared Value (CSV), a pioneering framework introduced by Porter and Kramer in 2011. CSV advocates for the integration of societal objectives into the core strategies of organizations, emphasizing that businesses should not only focus on economic performance but also on their role in driving societal progress. This transformative approach positions organizations to innovate and remain competitive while having a positive social impact.The Strategic Management Forum (SMF), established in 1997, is dedicated to promoting strategic management education, research, and practice in India. With over two decades of legacy, SMF serves as a vibrant platform for management academics, researchers, consultants, industry professionals, and students to enhance strategic thinking and organizational leadership. The conference invites original conceptual and empirical research papers that align with its theme and offers participants the opportunity to engage with various tracks that delve into critical topics within strategic management. This event is a significant gathering for thought leaders and practitioners aiming to shape the future of strategic management in an increasingly complex world.
