International Conference on Technology Management 2012

Driving the Economy through Innovation and Entrepreneurship: Emerging Agenda for Technology Management

Modern technologies are central for creation of wealth through business expansion leading to economic development.This is visible through the fast paced technology induced economic growth experienced by most of the countries and especially the rapidly growing economies such as India, China, Brazil, South Korea, etc. Increasing individual scientific contributions, nurturing entrepreneurial talent, promoting innovative competence, strategically prioritizing and investing in technologies and enhancing national economic wealth are some of the important goals of Technology Management. Technology Management has emerged as a strategic and knowledge domain of interest to the academicians, practitioners and policy makers across the globe. Technology Management has also evolved into an inter-disciplinary concern which requires national and international collaborations and exchange of insights.

This proposed conference is organized by the Department of Management Studies, Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, a leader in research and education in Technology Management for the last several decades.This conference aims at integrating experiences of Academicians, Industry Leaders, Technology Managers and Innovators towards effective knowledge creation and economic prosperity.

The Conference theme will be achieved through four main events: Researchers conclave with research paper presentations, CEOs Conclave deliberating on the mega technology trends, a Innovation valuation conclave featuring innovators, bankers and venture capitalists discussing issues related to valuation of intellectual capital, and a Innovators confluence and exhibition where a number of peer reviewed innovations from IISc, DRDO, SMEs, and National laboratories will be showcased.
