Varanasi, U.P -- (SBWire) -- 08/11/2010 -- School of Management Sciences is organizing national conference on Spirituality and Ethics in Management on 30-31 October 2010. The corporate scams and scandals that are happening unabated in present times can be attributed to the failure of modern management in giving proper direction to the field of business in maintaining its mutually beneficial relationship with society and other stakeholders. Business organizations have been questioned many times over the years for the seemingly lack of ethics in their operations, and recently the criticism has grown stronger. A theme emerging in the management literature is that of spirituality and ethics in management to overcome the deficiencies of modern management theories and practices. Interest in spirituality and ethics has grown among management scholars, practitioners, and professionals and has become a subject of serious discussion. This conference aims at providing a common platform for management practitioners, professionals, academicians, and students to exchange, discuss, and present their ideas, thoughts, and research work on the theme of the conference which is “Spirituality and Ethics in Management”.
