IIM Kozhikode has always taken the lead in highlighting the different aspects to management, be it gender diversity at workplace, social sensitivity and inclusive growth or sustainable development. Continuing in a similar vein and taking another step forward in this direction with the aim of 'Globalizing Indian Thought', IIM Kozhikode is organizing an international symposium on 'Practical Wisdom for Management from the Indian Spiritual Traditions' on 12th and 13th November, 2011. IIM Kozhikode is committed to 'Globalizing Indian Thought' and this symposium brings together the world's finest minds to examine how Indian spiritual traditions can be repositioned for managing the world in the 21st century.

"Leaders transform by creating new meanings for old forms and India, and Indian Management Thought has a lot to contribute to the world in this regard" says Prof. Debashis Chatterjee, Director of IIM Kozhikode.
The conference will be addressed by world-renowned thought leaders like Prof Ted Malloch from Yale, Prof. Srinivasan Pillay, Faculty of Psychiatry Harvard Medical School, Prof. Prasad Kaipa from ISB India, Prof. Rajendra Sisodia from Bentley University along with talks by other academicians and practitioners from all across the world.
