Management Conclave 'Prayaag 2009' starts today :)

The atmosphere at Institute of Management, Nirma University is filled with excitement as the students and faculty gear up for the Management Conclave - ‘Prayaag 09’, from 20th to 22nd August. Great business minds will come together on a single platform where they let wannabe management professionals know what they expect from them and share their experiences and insights.

“Recession Proof Business: Directions for the Future” is the theme for Prayaag-09. Though the Indian economy and business have been better off than others in the global meltdown and economic crisis over the past two years, it is of paramount importance to know how to manage business during recession, to formulate the right strategy, and to transform and harness human resources. These being some of the new paradigms of staying above the water in times of recession, the three-day Management Conclave will be an effective platform for sharing views, tactics and strategies in Money, Markets, Manpower, Manufacturing and Information Technology.

It is all due to the caliber and quality of the Indian managers and business leaders being able to turn the recession into a kind of advantage in respect to finance, markets, HR, and operations and IT practices. A combination of entrepreneuralism, fostered by right thinking among them, resulting in success and survival.
