Conference Theme:
‘India:Towards Better
Governance’
More than ever before, effective governance has become critical to
the development and progress of a young and aspiring country like
India. Leaders of government institutions, and the associated
private enterprises, today are under increasing pressures to
perform and provide quality services with limited resources and
face additional stress emanating from global economic, social,
political, and cultural integration. The responsibilities of leaders are
multifaceted and often very complex.They need to balance the
inherent tension between efficiency (working with fewer resources)
and effectiveness (achieving superior performance and welfare for
all stakeholders).
There is a need to better understand various facets of functioning of
the Indian governance systems and associated organizations (both
public and private), such as the leadership of enterprises, public
administration, decision making processes (including the political
setting in which decisions are made), program implementation
challenges, and the evaluation of the effectiveness of government
policies and initiatives aimed at bringing improvements that better
serve public interest.

The theme of this conference invites researchers to explore the
management lessons from successful public and private
organizations and institutions that can be applied to the Indian
government and its associated organization (public and private) in
order to make them more efficient and effective.
