BIM Trichy to Organize Annual Symposium 'The Athenaeum'
On 17th & 18th March, 2007

Bharathidasan Institute of Management has always been a podium for new ventures and a souvenir of success stories. The Centre for Contemporary Management Research is one such beginning aimed at providing a stage for scholarly work in a splendid plethora.

As a part of the centre's activities ATHENAEUM - An Annual Symposium is all set to unfold its wings. The CECMAR intends among its many research endeavors to bring out a quarterly journal of scholarly articles, papers starting from 2007.

Athenaeum is derived from the Greek "Athenion", the temple of Goddess Athena. Athena is the Goddess of Wisdom and of course Civilization itself. The "Athenion" temple of ancient Greece also symbolized the place where scholars congregated to deliberate and nurture Philosophy and Thought.

The Athenaeum at BIM is such an endeavour where we plan a confluence of academicians who gather to discuss and deliberate topics on contemporary management research. BIM have chosen two broad functional themes for this year's event - Human Resources Management and Systems & IT Management for its two day deliberations.

The process is initiated with a call for research papers from the Academia and Industry. The abstracts received are sent for a blind review to an expert panel of eminent research scholars who are associated with us in advisory and contributory roles. The scholars whose abstracts have been short-listed by the review panel are then requested to formally send in their full papers for a peer review. At the end of the peer review process, the selected papers are short-listed for presentation on the day of the Symposium which will be graced by eminent personalities from the Academic world and the Industry.

The event intends to showcase scholarly work from academia and industry on the same platform, providing a professional forum of idea interchange. The deliberations and learnings that are gleaned out of this conference are planned to be published as a compendium of papers by a leading publishing house in the country.

Themes
