Aim of the Conference – RASTMSI 2024

Amidst all the chaos and turbulence, it’s inevitable for the business to be agile and keep the business afloat. Building strategic agility to outperform the competitors and benchmark oneself enables cruise the environment uncertainty and turbulence prevailing. The conference aims to re-envision the concept of agility to bring deserved excellence in operations which may lead to the emergence of agile firms who can sustain and flourish in VUCA environment. It has become an important tool to cut across the fierce competition and highly unpredictable business environment. Agility cannot be brought in isolation; it needs sustainability to be underpinned in all the business operations and other processes. The threshold or the gateway for agility is through sustainability which many of the businesses have realized it but yet struggling to put them into practice. The conference aims to invite the research papers from researchers, academicians and industry practitioners to contribute to the development of business agility and sustainability by deliberating issues, challenges and the possible solutions to the problems and achieve excellence. Technological innovations and interference can be seen in almost all the industries and the recent pandemic is an excellent example where businesses survived only because of technology. All industries are enabling artificial intelligence and technology in business operations and in rendering services. Today’s data driven industry has caused a disruption in the industrial set up across all developing and emerging economies. The theme of the conference has been designed in a manner to address and throw light on all the above mentioned concepts and dovetail to business excellence and its deliverables to the society at large.

Objectives of the Conference
