INVITATION

ROBUST PUBLIC POLICY FOR BUSINESS TRANSFORMATION Monday, 20 Dec 2021 9:30 am to 1:15 pm MMA MANAGEMENT CENTER

MROFTALP EHT

Robust Public Policy for Business Transformation Business transformation of the innovation ecosystem is not only inevitable but also a highly complex and uncertain process. The way to facilitate transformation with policies has become a topic of common concern for academia and policymakers. This conclave would explore the impact of supply-side policies, demandside policies, and environmental policies on enterprises’ transformation willingness, digital level, and income level as well as the proportion of enterprises that carry out transformation in the whole innovation ecosystem and innovation network structure by numerical experiments.

Special Session 1: Gender Diversity & Inclusive Board Room The need for an inclusive and diversified culture in an organization is indispensable, and hiring is a key asset in times of crisis. In India, the Companies Act 2013 and SEBI regulations mandate the presence of at least one woman on the Board of Directors in certain companies. Many Indian companies have taken only symbolic actions by appointing only one female director to fulfill the

initiatives in Indian corporates. Organizations ingraining a diversity-friendly culture are greatly benefiting from such initiatives.

Companies employing a diversified workforce are much more likely to take better and braver decisions. So, let’s march towards accepting gender diversity and making our board rooms inclusive.

The deliberations would highlight the prevailing legal framework and practices, thereby unveiling the factual state of D&I initiatives in India exploring the probable solutions to increase the effectiveness of D&I initiatives.

The research indicated the vital role boards can play in selecting the right candidate, managing the change, and laying the groundwork for the new leaders such as the CEO.

Special Session 3: The Economic of Crypto and the Way Forward Gautam Buddha’s adage holds true even in today’s world: “Change is never painful; only resistance is.”

True to the above saying, the Conclave would explore the wave of crypto currency on both sides—whether it would be a destructive tsunami that shall annihilate the financial system or a lucrative opportunity that ought to be pushed towards profitable shores. By embracing new technologies in our democratic and progressive nation, the twin objective of strengthening the dream of a digital India and not missing out on the block chain revolution will become a reality.
