The last decade witnessed a serious global recession. Just about in all major economically powerful nations, millions lost jobs, hundreds of businesses folded, stock markets tumbled, and thousands lost their life-time savings. The story in growing economies is just as painful. 

   The purpose of AIMS-7 is to provide a forum that stimulates discussion on the role of business schools and management education in understanding the problems of global recession and stagnation. B-schools have often not investigated issues such as what businesses should do in such tough times. Questions such as what do you do with the workforce, how do you keep the company financially viable and remain competitive are important. The equally important question is how B-schools should prepare their students to cope up with such a challenge. Therefore, the theme of the conference is: Global Recession, Survival and Growth: Role of Management Education.

   The conference will also provide opportunities for networking and collaboration amongst scholars from academia, industry and government. In addition to papers on the conference theme, scholars are encouraged to submit papers on any aspect of business and management such as accounting, marketing, finance, OB, HRM, MIS, quantitative methods, technology management, energy, operations, economics, entrepreneurship, information technology, strategy, etc.
