The conference on ‘Interdisciplinary Research in Technology and Management” was a bold experiment in deviating from the

traditional approach of conferences which focus on a specific topic or theme. By attempting to bring diverse inter-related

topics on a common platform, the conference has sought to answer a long felt need and give a fillip to interdisciplinary

research not only within the technology domain but across domains in the management field as well.

The spectrum of topics covered in the research papers is too wide to be singled out for specific mention but it is

noteworthy that these papers addressed many important and relevant concerns of the day.
