THEME

PUBLIC POLICY & MANAGEMENT: EMERGING ISSUES Today, we are witnessing several reforms and

emerging trends in public policies and its execution

that require to look at the global socio-economic

developments from different perspectives.

Understanding the nature and rationale of

government regulations as well as anticipating future

policy trends can very well provide stockholders the

competitive edge in policy decisions and policy

implementation. Also critical to the future of public

policy is the application of management thinking,

evidencebased and analytical solutions, and result-

oriented policy formulation. Hence, the execution of

public policy decisions hold key to improving the

quality of governance that will benefit the society.

Further, harnessing technology and scaling up

innovations, outsourcing across levels of government

from both private and government agencies, and

increased involvement of not- forprofit sector are few

emerging factors that have been influencing

government policies globally. Governments are now

more focused towards providing user-centered

services that will provide holistic solutions to the

society at large. Additionally, to keep up with the

rapid change, it becomes more imperative for the

governments to take inclusive decisions, and explore

new ideas and possibilities.

It is also imperative to understand better the

contemporary issues relevant to the growth and

development of the public sector which include

designing public interventions, financing

infrastructure development, socio-economic

developments across the borders, cross-cultural

knowledge exchange between public and private

sector, and other demographic factors that influence

public policy implementation globally.

Message from Director, IIM Rohtak

It gives me great pleasure to invite you to the Seventh PAN IIM World Management Conference, being

hosted by Indian Institute of Management Rohtak from 12 th -14 th December 2019. PAN IIM World

Management Conference offers an exciting opportunity for professionals, academicians, policy makers, and

thought leaders to share their contributions in various disciplines of management, preview current

research, and grow professional networks. Energized by the success of past six editions of these conference,

Indian Institutes of Management have once again come together to create a forum where best minds from

India and abroad can define the future course of management thought and practice. Past conferences have seen

attendance of over 4000 delegates from across the world.

Globally we are witnessing increased interest in many public policies which require looking at national and

global developments from different perspectives. Understanding of Public Policy and effective working of the

government sector is critical for overall growth in emerging market economies. In an increasingly

unpredictable era of rapidly changing technology, intensifying globalization and rise of social media aided

regime changes around the world; policy making has become more complex than ever. Additionally, evidence-

based public policy has recently become more prominent in public debates. More such systems are being

considered that are informed by evidence at each stage of policy development to the improvement of the

most appropriate response, and subsequent evaluation of its effectiveness.

This three-day meet will give platform to present, educate, and discuss different issue in the domain of interface

between Public Policy and Management. The forum will emphasize capacity building to help render

research into effective policy-making and policy implementation.

To encourage greater collaboration between policymakers and researchers, public and non- governmental

organizations, and to catalyse the development of policy-relevant research, the conference will facilitate a

collaborative platform to identify research priorities and suggest emergent solutions. The discussions and

interactions will also help the participants in understanding public policy with a dynamic and practical

approach. It will lead to evaluating the latest in policy thinking and implementation around the world while

enabling a cross border and cross-cultural knowledge exchange between the private and public sector.

We look forward to seeing you at IIM Rohtak campus in December 2019.

Regards,

Prof. Dheeraj Sharma
