THEME
PUBLIC POLICY & MANAGEMENT:
EMERGING ISSUES
Today, we are witnessing several reforms and
emerging trends in public policies and its
execution that require to look at the global
socio-economic developments from different
perspectives. Understanding the nature and
rationale of government regulations as well as
anticipating future policy trends can very well
provide stockholders the competitive edge in
policy decisions and policy implementation.
Also critical to the future of public policy is the
application of management thinking, evidence-
based and analytical solutions, and result- oriented
policy formulation. Hence, the execution of public
policy decisions hold key to improving the quality
of governance that will benefit the society.
Further, harnessing technology and scaling
up innovations, outsourcing across levels of
government from both private and government
agencies, and increased involvement of not- for-
profit sector are few emerging factors that have
been influencing government policies globally.
Governments are now more focused towards
providing user-centered services that will
provide holistic solutions to the society at large.
Additionally, to keep up with the rapid change, it
becomes more imperative for the governments
to take inclusive decisions, and explore new ideas
and possibilities.
It is also imperative to understand better the
contemporary issues relevant to the growth
and development of the public sector which
include designing public interventions, financing
infrastructure development, socio-economic
developments across the borders, cross-cultural
knowledge exchange between public and private
sector, and other demographic factors that
influence public policy implementation globally.

 Message from Director, IIM Rohtak

It gives me great pleasure to invite you to the Seventh PAN IIM World Management Conference, being
hosted by Indian Institute of Management Rohtak from 12 th -14 th December 2019. PAN IIM World
Management Conference offers an exciting opportunity for professionals, academicians, policy makers,
and thought leaders to share their contributions in various disciplines of management, preview current
research, and grow professional networks. Energized by the success of past six editions of these
conference, Indian Institutes of Management have once again come together to create a forum where
best minds from India and abroad can define the future course of management thought and practice.
Past conferences have seen attendance of over 4000 delegates from across the world.

Globally we are witnessing increased interest in many public policies which require looking at national
and global developments from different perspectives. Understanding of Public Policy and effective
working of the government sector is critical for overall growth in emerging market economies. In an
increasingly unpredictable era of rapidly changing technology, intensifying globalization and rise of
social media aided regime changes around the world; policy making has become more complex than ever.
Additionally, evidence-based public policy has recently become more prominent in public debates. More
such systems are being considered that are informed by evidence at each stage of policy development to
the improvement of the most appropriate response, and subsequent evaluation of its effectiveness.

This three-day meet will give platform to present, educate, and discuss different issue in the domain of
interface between Public Policy and Management. The forum will emphasize capacity building to help
render research into effective policy-making and policy implementation.

To encourage greater collaboration between policymakers and researchers, public and non- governmental
organizations, and to catalyse the development of policy-relevant research, the conference will facilitate
a collaborative platform to identify research priorities and suggest emergent solutions. The discussions
and interactions will also help the participants in understanding public policy with a dynamic and
practical approach. It will lead to evaluating the latest in policy thinking and implementation around
the world while enabling a cross border and cross-cultural knowledge exchange between the private and
public sector.

We look forward to seeing you at IIM Rohtak campus in December 2019.
