INTRODUCTION
In a fast-changing world, what worked yesterday probably doesn't work today. Peter.F Drucker father of modern management theory argues that much of what is now taught and believed about the practice of management is either wrong or seriously out of date. Management thinkers are agreeing on the notion that as the professionals advance deeper into the knowledge economy, the basic assumptions underlying much of what is taught and practiced in the name of management are hopelessly out of date. Today’s leaders and/or managers are dealing with continual, rapid change. Managers faced with a major decision can no longer refer back to an earlier developed plan for direction. Management techniques must continually notice changes in the environment and organization, assess this change and manage change. Managing change does not mean controlling it, rather understanding it, adapting to it where necessary and guiding it when possible. In the future organizational decision-making will be more peer-based; the tools of creativity will be widely distributed in organizations; ideas will compete on an equal footing; strategies will be built from the bottom up; and power will be a function of competence rather than of position.
Objective : In order to provide an exchange platform for researchers on management both at home and abroad to share the new ideology, new theory, new methodology and new achievement of management theory and practice, to accelerate the exchange between India and world management science domain and the innovation, and as well as to promote the international research on Indian management science issue, the Punjab Commerce and Management Association (PCMA) along with School of Management Studies, Punjabi University Patiala plans to hold the 7th International Conference on New Paradigm in Management Theory and Practice from 4th September, 2010 to 5th September, 2010. The main Objective of this international conference is to bring together specialists from universities, research consultancy and business fields and to provide stimulating environment for knowledge and know how exchange in New Paradigm in Management Theory and Practice. Sharing experience is a key objective. It is also desired through this international conference to debate on the sort of changes required in management practices that are needed to build companies which are truly fit for the future. The conference participants should acquire a broad and deep understanding of the history of management thought, develop an appreciation for the debates about changes in management practices, and appreciate the benefits and limitations of Reforms in Management Theory
