Conference

Globalization has tremendously influenced the functioning of the modern management system and business environment. It is crucial for academia and the concerned stakeholders to be aware and well known about the development and dynamics of recent changes in the areas of management, information technology and social sciences. Moreover, effect of pandemics, technological developments, use of artificial intelligence and socio-political upheavals have caused instability, inflationary trends and the stalling of employment around the world including Nepal. Surviving the business successfully, systemizing the management of corporate houses and mobilizing the diverse work force in the workplaces have become today's major challanges. Furthermore, rapid growth in consumer demand and awareness, need for sustainable economic development, fierce competition, easy access to credit, internal and external liberalization, macroeconomic stabilization, banking and financial sector restructuring, and the growing micro, small and medium enterprises are forcing many businesses to reconsider their operations. At this juncture, imparting knowledge about possibilities, risks and changing trends in the field of business and management by bringing academia, practitioners, entrepreneurs and industrialists in the same platform has become the burning need in the 21st Century. In this context, the 4th International Conference of Lumbini Banijya Campus has set an objective to disseminate innovative thoughts on "Global Innovations in Management and Social Science".
