Sub-Themes of the Conference

The conference invites original research and review articles on the following sub-themes:

1. Exploring Trans-disciplinary Approaches to Foster Inclusive Growth

This theme invites original works focused on various aspects of inclusive growth from the disciplines of the humanities, the social sciences, and engineering. Authors are not only encouraged to utilize their discipline-specific methods but also transcend academic disciplines to come up with novel approaches to resolve the issues on the theme of inclusive growth. Economic inclusivity, regional development, and environmental sustainability are only some of the major topics that can benefit from trans-disciplinary approaches.

2. Fostering Inclusivity Through Progressive Human Resources Management

Despite being a staff function in an organization, human resources management can play a transformational role there through advocating equal opportunities for and diversity in the workforce. Hence, this function needs novel policies and practices that are aligned with the principles of inclusive growth. A few contemporary issues are the gender pay gap, performance assessment biases, and workplace flexibility. Nevertheless, work on other relevant topics is also highly welcome.

3. Advancing Inclusive Growth Through Responsible Marketing Management

Marketing management is the engine for revenue and profit growth while also serving as the public face of the company. Naturally, this duality has direct and indirect consequences for the firm's financial performance. On top of financial benefits, marketing management can also support the firm in meeting its societal obligations. Also, marketing concepts can serve as a catalyst outside of the corporate sector to affect human behaviour for social change. Culture-sensitive branding, ethical marketing analytics, and social campaign advertising are only some of the issues on the long list. Again, work on other important issues is also appreciated.

4. Promoting Equity and Sustainability Through Conscientious Financial Management

Financial performance is the key driver of shareholders' wealth creation, which is the ultimate goal for most firms. Financial management acts as a vigilant critic of any decision at any organizational level to ensure that it contributes to the financial performance of the firm. Nevertheless, shareholders have evolved beyond the single-minded pursuit of wealth and have become advocates of inclusive and sustainable growth. Consequently, inclusive growth and its dimensions are also being considered, along with the financial aspect of any decision in the boardroom. Although some major research topics in this sub-theme are the roles of Fintech, financial literacy, microfinance, and corporate responsibility as factors for inclusive growth, the authors are encouraged to enrich the discourse with their original ideas, like in other sub-themes.
