The last 2 decades have seen a shift in the workings of the world economy requiring change in approach towards business as well as economic and social development and growth that is both transformational and strategic. While service sector has grown, the industrial sector across economies has seen challenges. Economic and market uncertainties have increased, competition has reduced life spans of products and offerings thus, spurring innovation. While mostly rewarding, the need to reinvent and innovate constantly have seen principles of doing business getting compromised. At the same time, role of governance has seen an emphasis towards accountability. The labor force across markets has become aspirational and day to day operational and business management has become much more globalized.

About the Global Conference
