St. Joseph's Institute of Management (SJIM) aims to be a management institute of excellence committed to nurturing responsible business leaders having concern for society and environment.

What began in 2019 as a platform created for leadership thinkers to come together and provide direction to the management-community, has now grown into the SJIM Leadership Network that focuses on long-term impact themes that are relevant for society and businesses. Focus areas over the previous conferences have been on renewed leadership, the challenges in sustainability, the need for innovation and business models during turbulent times.

With businesses facing unprecedented external and internal challenges that shake existing business models, it is important for business leaders to focus on reinventing existing business structures and ensure transformation. Business progress revolves around multiple issues-building innovation capabilities, ensuring funding/investment, garnering stakeholder acceptance and leveraging the right kind technology. Existing distribution networks may require re-thinking, new digital customer experiences have to be created and new partnerships have to be explored.Organisations must also work on processes that turngreat ideas into beneficial business outcomes.
The fifth in the series of leadership conferences, the 2023 Business Transformation Conference will focus on research papers that examine business transformation from a historical, present and future perspectives.

The sub-themes listed below (but not limited to) include multiple facets of sustainable business models that would be covered in the conference:

Faculty:The event offers an intellectually stimulating environment that bridges the gap between academic frameworks and industry expertise. The lectures and discussions will help you add value to your institution and also enrich classroom discussions.

Researchers: As a researcher, there is a need to understand evolving tools and techniques and a chance to present topics that you are currently working on. The conference enables you to put your ideas across in front of a panel of experts, garner objective feedback and gain renewed knowledge. Papers can be presented virtually.

Corporates: The conference will provide an opportunity to interact online with some of the leaders in the industry and deliberate on the nuances of handling business challenges. The SJIM Leadership Network provides a solid platform for insightful discussions on society and business.

Students: While the times are challenging, there has never been a greater time to graduate. The world needs your passion, energy and focus to solve the problems that affect society. Don’t miss this chance to listen to some of the best minds in the industry and build a circle of people you trust.

The following open-access journals have agreed to consider high-quality papers submitted to the conference for publication. Selected papers from the conference will be forwarded by SJIM to the journals for further review, whose decision will be final and binding for the publication.

SJIM’s Research Centre will organise a paper development workshop for registered paper presenters in the month of December/January to improve the quality of the submissions.
