Indian Management Systems (IMS) are growing in the 21st century as a unique concept and trend, with substantial remodelling of the indigenous practices of ancient literature, community skills and a revival management mechanism.
The rich historical and social system of India will lead Indian management to contending with American, European and Japanese management within the 21 st century. India’s 47 million people-strong manpower will be entering the global market for the developed world’s corporate decision making by 2020 due to its demographic dividend. The world will feel the impact of Indian management effectiveness from 2020 to 2050. Its unique and scientific application will act as the change agent by the mid of this century.

Contributions in remodelling and implementing systems in industrial applications may generate larger discussion. Researchers are invited to contribute empirical, conceptual and theme-based papers for industry application and impacting management strategies and decision making.
