Close to 300 scholars are expected to share their research in management at this platform.

Talking about the WMC Theme 2014, IIM K says, The main theme of the conference is Globalizing Indian Thought. Over the past couple of decades India underwent a process of greater integration with the outside world. However the economic crisis of 2008 challenged some of the accepted wisdom of practicing management in a globalized world. The conference will reflect on lessons from the past, critically analyze current imperatives and develop a path for the future of management theory, education and practice.

The Indian Institute of Management Kozhikode (IIMK) was established in 1996 by the Government of India in collaboration with the Government of Kerala. IIMK started with its first batch of 42 students in 1997 and has grown tremendously over the years with the current batch strength of 356 odd students. Spread over about 100 acres of land, the IIMK campus is situated on two hillocks in the Kunnamangalam Area of ancient city of Calicut in Kerala.
