Description
Emergence of new technologies are paving the ways for improving the managerial processes and functions. The new technological applications, particularly the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI), are changing the nature of work and many of the conventional job roles will no longer exist in future due transformative automation. However, on the other side, the technological adaptation also has many ethical issues to address. The role of leadership (at all levels) becomes very important in responsible integration and use of technologies in the organizations. Under the current scenario, the business schools too are embedding the modules on technology application related issues in management education curricula. The fundamental question remains how to effectively integrate the technology related issues in management programmes? Should we educate students about new applications, or should it be more about critical evaluation and managerial judgment regarding the level and degree of technology use in given context? The track aims to explore the issues related to integration of technology related topics in the management education curriculum. We would expect contributions focusing on specific issues, challenges, strategies or case studies on teaching the technology related issues in management education. We also encourage inter-disciplinary contributions focusing on integration of research and teaching related to technology related themes in management, ethics and leadership modules.
