CPM Management Research Forum 2022

December 15 Research Symposiums



CPM Management Research Forum 2022

Achieving Business and Institutional Growth through Insightful Research

SCOPE OF THE  FORUM

As a national professional body for management upliftment, the CPM Sri Lanka has an implicit responsibility of creating a platform for business, government, not for profit organisations and other institutions to share their key management insights for the betterment of future revival and growth prospects.

It has been revealed that even if institutions recover or are in transition from the more immediate effects of the pandemic and other prevailing issues, leaders are rethinking their competitive strategies and how they will reconfigure their businesses to be more resilient in the future.

Responsible researchers have an inbound duty of coming forward with bringing out their key findings in the respective organizational contexts into a forum and sharing among many to take it forward.

As organizations adapt to a new reality and cope with the immense challenges of disruption, demographic pressures, polarization, and trust, they will need the ability to manage and draw insights from diverse research findings.

CORE THEMES

Theme 01        Corporate and Industry Case Studies (Company/Sectional/Cluster Transformation stories, Revival stories in an organisation, business, government etc.)*

Theme 02        Applied Research Papers/Projects*
