INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE on RESILIENCE and SUSTAINABLE PERFORMANCE (ICRSP 2024)
December 6-7, 2024
About ICRSP 2024
The objective of ICRSP 2024 is to present an international platform for showcasing recent research related to the area of Resilience and Sustainable Performance. The conference intends to assemble leading researchers, academic scientists and practitioners from around the world to exchange and share their experiences and research results, to appreciate research talents and for motivating research spirit among students, research scholars and academicians. In an era marked by rapid technological advancements, unpredictable market dynamics, and global uncertainties, the ability of organizations to not only survive but thrive amidst challenges has never been more crucial. Organizational resilience, the capacity to anticipate, prepare for, respond to, and adapt to incremental change and sudden disruptions, has become a key differentiator for sustainable success. Equally important is the concept of sustainable performance, which encompasses the long-term health and viability of organizations. This goes beyond mere financial success, integrating social, environmental, and economic dimensions to create value for all stakeholders. Achieving sustainable performance means balancing short-term gains with long-term objectives, ensuring that business practices contribute positively to society and the planet. Throughout this conference, we will delve into various aspects of these intertwined themes. Our esteemed speakers and panellists, who are thought leaders and industry experts, will share their insights and experiences. We will examine case studies, innovative strategies, and practical tools that can help organizations build resilience and achieve sustainable performance.
Themes
- Integrating theories and practice of resilience
The terms "resilience" and "agility," "adaptability," and "absorption" are more closely related when considering the everyday changes brought about by frequent disturbances in organizations. The concept gains scholastic appeal due to its applicability in organizations with dynamic capability and complexity theories.
It covers a wider range of topics, including: 1) how much a system can change while maintaining the same constraints on its structure and function; 2) how much a system may self-organize; and 3) how to develop and enhance a system's capacity for learning and adaptation. Ironically, the first type of resilience has only been widely documented in real-world situations. Its diverse approach in organizational planning has limited its uses in alleviating environmental hazards and issues, including hurricanes, floods, earthquakes, and global warming. Instead, it has been very conservationist and its semantic expansion is therefore seriously questioned. Because of its ambiguous understanding of multiple occurrences, its analytical or descriptive nature has had difficulty shifting to normative form in organizational planning. When it makes transition from phenomenological viewpoints to an ethical and political outlook, it is pursued differently. Consequently, it is still unclear what resilience's paradigm is.
- Multilevel operation of resilient approaches in organization
Organizations are dealing with more and more different kinds of crises. Conventional approaches to crisis management and business continuity, which are ingrained in procedures, policies, and handling techniques, frequently fall short of ensuring an organization's survival. The role of human resources is undermined when an organization adopts a strategic stance to absorb and adapt to changes brought about by disturbances and disruptions. Furthermore, there is also a lack of clarity on the role that group or team resilience plays when strategic resilience operates at the organizational level. As such, the precise mechanisms by which resilience operates in organizations at various levels of analysis remain largely unknown. There hasn't been much discussion on how these different levels work together or can be further integrated. It's also unclear if the difficulties in implementing resilient drivers at every organizational level are the same or different.
- Challenges associated with sustainable performance
The business landscape has changed dramatically as a result of Industry 4.0, calling into question several of the established sustainable practices. Furthermore, there is a growing global awareness about carbon footprints, which has made sustainable practices and organizational performance mandatory and demanding. There has been a tremendous increase in the growing scholarly interest in sustainable practices and performance. In addition, as drivers change and their impact increases, practitioners are reframing scorecards for sustainable success. The increasing complexity brought about by the presence of several drivers and the further development of new ones could raise red flags. As a result, it is still quite difficult to determine how they will affect the organization's performance and sustainability objectives. There is less emphasis on quantitative methods and more on qualitative methods in scholarly work. It is yet unknown how different drivers can be combined in a single platform to enhance sustainable performance. Furthermore, not all contextual elements that support or obstruct the sustainable drivers of performance have been investigated.
Thus we have following the sub themes for the conferences:
- Integrating theories and practices of resilience
- Self-organizing capacity for building resilience in organization
- System capability for learning and adaptation
- Paradigm of organizational resilience
- Uniformity in usages of resilient drivers across the organizational levels
- Mechanism of resilience
- Role of human resources in establishing resilience in organization
- Team resilience from comprehensive lens
- Integration of potential sustainable drivers and influence on sustainable performance
- Exploring the potential novel sustainable drivers
- Technological challenges to sustainable performance
- Circular economy and sustainable performance
- Big data analytics and sustainable performance
- Impact of governance and institutions of sustainable performance
- Well-being and sustainable performance
- Performance goals, metrics and sustainable performance
- ESG and sustainable performance
The scope of the Conference covers the domains of Human Resource Management, Organizational Behavior, Marketing, Finance, Operations & Information Systems Management, Business Innovation and Entrepreneurship. It will capture various aspects of the aforementioned themes as mentioned. This Conference provides a potent platform for researchers, practitioners, and educators to share research and innovation, as well as to deliberate on recent challenges, and trends. Along with submissions in each domain area, we also encourage cross-domain submissions cutting across subject-areas. The conference will consist of presentations of refereed papers, Workshops and Keynote speakers.
