FORE School of Management, New Delhi
Abstract:
During the past two decades, access to Information Communication Technology (ICT) and social
media platforms have led to many new digital spaces for communicating – ranging from friendship
groups, to chat rooms, to professional discussion boards, newsgroups, etc. The past couple of
decades have also witnessed the growth and creation of many self-forming and self-organizing
movements online, with their focus on shared humanitarian concerns and vulnerabilities leading
to social listening across borders, and subsequent shared and emerging discourses. This panel will
identify how applications and access to technology and social media platforms enable the creation
of self-forming, self-organizing movements capable of sharing alternative discourses in
advocating for diverse agendas. Experts on the panel will explore the ‘digital landscapes,’ a term
that refers to the “complex and overlapping contours of online information flows,”[1] and explain
how actors navigate the geographies of this landscape, and whether and how they have the
resources to do so.
Keywords: Digital, ICT, movements, social media

Abstract:
Ecosystems are interdependent organizations that are not hierarchically governed and are made
possible through modularity. The fact that their combined investment cannot be redeployed
elsewhere binds them together. The idea of ecosystems has increased awareness and brought
new forms of value generation and value capture mechanisms into sharper light. Ecosystems
can be viewed as structure considering the activity-centric view of interdependence, and with
the actor-centric view ecosystem can be viewed as affiliation. Non-linear, multi-lateral
interactions resulting in quasi equilibrium are the cornerstones of a business ecosystem. Under
ecosystem view of strategy, the inter and intra organizational interactions need to be viewed
with the ecosystem lens. Some of the key themes under this track to be deliberated and explored
are: How are interactions across and within the corporates and startups operationalized? How
do new ecosystems emerge? What are the challenges for governance in emerging ecosystems?
Are some of the key themes under this track to be deliberated and explored.
Key words: Ecosystem, startup, value generation, multilateral interactions

Abstract
Business of Business is no longer Business. Business of Business is now Sustainability. There is an implied contract between Society and Business. Business activities should not endanger societal interests. Driven by public and stakeholder pressure, sustainability has risen to the top of the business agenda for CEOs in all sectors. However, the road to introducing and implementing sustainability within an organization is fraught not without challenges. Most companies commit to sustainability. But the question is: Do they deliver it? This session encourages papers on sustainability strategy, challenges to effective sustainability, employee understanding of sustainability based on organizational structure, sustainability business models, stakeholders, and sustainability, tracking sustainability performance, and sustainability reporting. Papers on current issues in sustainability such as the adoption of a circular economy by business, emission control and carbon trading, industry 4.0 and sustainability, and sustainability through decentralized production and the related dimensions will also be welcome in this session.

Track Chairs:
Danish Nasir

Abstract
The fourth industrial revolution, i.e. Industry 4.0 (I4.0), connects physical factories with the outside world through the internet and advanced technologies. Some of the components of I4.0 are artificial intelligence, robotics, automation, virtual reality, additive manufacturing, data analytics, cloud computing etc. Aircraft manufacturing is a complex industry which requires a high level of technological expertise. The capital investment in producing an aircraft is enormous. The applications of I4.0 can help manufacturers introduce newer production methodologies that will improve quality and cut costs. We welcome papers relating newer technologies to aircraft manufacturing processes in this context. They may have conceptual models, novel techniques, supply chains, or issues associated with I4.0 and aerospace manufacturing processes.
