IIM Shillong-INDAM 2024 Doctoral and Early Career Researcher’s Colloquium

Theme: Emerging Paradigm in Management Research
(July 9-11, 2024)

General Information

Management research is a broad and dynamic field that encompasses the study of various aspects of management to achieve organizational goals. Scholars and researchers in management explore a wide range of topics applying various methodologies to understand and improve the functioning of the organizations. Based on the level of analysis and focus management research can be categorized into three broad areas covering macro, meso and micro perspectives. Macro-level research delves into the expansive landscape of organizational and environmental factors, such as national economic policies and global market trends. Meso-level investigations focus on organizational structures, cultures, and inter-organizational relationships, exploring how these intermediate elements shape overall performance. At the micro level, researchers scrutinize individual and small group behavior within organizations, examining aspects like leadership styles and team dynamics.

This three-tiered framework facilitates a comprehensive understanding of management phenomena, encompassing the influences of societal forces, organizational structures, and individual or group dynamics. Interactions and dynamics between these levels are also recognized as important, emphasizing the need for a holistic approach to management research. It can help researchers and practitioners address different aspects of management at varying scales and also facilitate the integration of insights from various levels to inform strategic decision-making and organizational development.

The colloquium for doctoral and early career researchers is designed to spotlight the dynamic trends in macro, meso, and micro areas of management research. It endeavors to provide a platform for discussions encompassing a wide range of topics, not confined to any specific boundaries. The aim is to foster exploration and dialogue on emerging themes within the field, encouraging participants to delve into the broader landscape of management research. The colloquium welcomes contributions that span over any of the macro, meso or micro perspectives, or their interplay. This inclusive approach ensures a comprehensive exploration of the diverse and evolving facets of management research.

This colloquium is different from regular conference tracks where scholars present results from a focused research work that forms part of their doctoral work. Here, we aim to encourage scholars to bring a bigger perspective of their doctoral research, i.e., the importance of their research problem to the community at large, and the contribution of their work to the research community per se. Doctoral Scholars can present their ongoing or planned research for discussion and receive detailed and constructive feedback on their research from the panel of distinguished research mentors. The colloquium also encourages scholars to present their open challenges to get helpful feedback and fresh perspectives from the expert panels and their peers.

Although the colloquium is aimed at scholars at the mid-stage or final stage of research to present their work, we strongly encourage early research scholars to participate in order to get a fresh perspective on the doctoral research path.

Early career faculty members from all areas of management who want to pursue PhD in future are also welcome.

Format of the Colloquium

This doctoral colloquium is tailored to provide participants with invaluable insights and practical skills to navigate the intricate journey of conducting research and successfully publishing their work.
