INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON
Global Performance Challenges
BUILDING AND SUSTAINING COMPETITIVENESS
PREAMBLE AND OBJECTIVE
Corporations across globe are operating in an
increasingly competitive landscape. Achieving business
success in emerging markets has become a key factor for
multinational corporations worldwide seeking new
growth opportunities and greater global supply chain
efficiency. With the prospect of modest growth in
developed markets, and cut throat competition in the
emerging markets, there is an imminent challenge for
the corporates around the world to look forward for new
avenues which can enhance their business performance
and let them win new markets. Globalisation has on the
one hand forced the domestic organisations to work
hard to match the competitive advantages of their
new global rivals and also on the other hand created a
highly competitive environment for the multinational
corporations to operate. Therefore, in these situations,
both domestic and multinational corporations are
opting for continuous innovations and integrating
themselves on their core competencies for building and
sustaining competitiveness.
Further, competition between multinational corporations
has now transformed from hard competitiveness to soft
competitiveness, from simple reliance on technology
and product competitiveness to reliance on concepts like
Corporate Social Responsibility and Social Ethics.
Advanced Corporate Social Responsibility ideas and
practices already constitute the heart of business
competitiveness which has now extended from
enterprise level to societal level. The patterns have been
shifting to innovative business strategies and practices
that can deliver profits from responsible behaviour of
business leading to responsible competitiveness. This
has surely galvanized the corporations acorss world to
do a better analysis of themselves as well as the
environment on a global scale and assimilate its benefits
to a scalable level and win more markets by shaping
their strategies in line with the economic and social
goals.
In the above backdrop, the present international
conference aims to:
• Bring together academics, Govt. policy makers,
business entrepreneurs, management practitioners
from all over the globe to discuss and analyse all the
factors responsible for enhancing the competitive
factors in organisations and the challenges visualised
with the dynamic environment changes happening at
all levels.
• Provide a forum for fruitful thoughts taking place in
view of the latest developments happening in global
markets and various researches being done based
on the world-wide policy implications as well as
challenges emerging from these dynamic situations.
