IIMB Management Review (IMR) and the Office of the Fellow Programme in Management are organising its fifth annual Doctoral Students' Conference (IMRDC) at the Indian Institute of Management Bangalore (IIMB) in December 2013. We invite paper submissions from doctoral students in management and the social sciences. Our objective is to encourage doctoral students' research and facilitate collaborative work amongst researchers from different institutions. We aim to provide a forum where insightful feedback from senior scholars within India and abroad would help improve the quality of students' work.
The submissions will be reviewed by a Faculty Committee from which a subset of papers will be selected for presentation. The conference will be held at IIM Bangalore. Presenters of accepted papers will be provided accommodation and APEX domestic airfare.
