About Faculty of Management Studies Faculty of Management Studies (also known as FMS Delhi and The Red Building of Dreams) is one of the oldest and top ranked premier business schools in India which offers a Full-Time MBA program. It was established in 1954 under the aegis of the University of Delhi and is often cited as the best business school in India owing to its great ROI and very high placement statistics. The institute was started at the Delhi School of Economics premises under the then Dean, Prof. A. Das Gupta, of the Delhi College of Engineering (DCE). The department of commerce of the Delhi College of Engineering (DCE) now the Delhi Technological University (DTU) was abolished and the Faculty of Management Studies was established. The first sets of professors were trained at the Stanford Graduate School of Business. The institute has since then expanded on the number of management courses available. The Faculty of Management Studies focuses on management education more than just business management. The commitment is thought leadership with a deep understanding of business. The approach to pedagogy combines fieldwork, case studies and instrumented feedback with a strong emphasis on concepts and theory. About Organizers 2
About Gaeddu College of Business Studies (GCBS) Gaeddu College of Business Studies (GCBS) is located in Gedu, Chukha is the only premier college under the Royal University of Bhutan offering full time contemporary business and management education in the country. The establishment of the college was first conceived by His Majesty the Fourth King and the Royal Government. In the 85th session of the National Assembly, the Parliament resolved to establish a business college at Gedu in the campus developed by the Tala Hydroelectric Project Authority (THPA) - a joint project between the Government of India and the Royal Government of Bhutan. With the intention of establishing a fully fledged business college at Gedu, the Royal University of Bhutan shifted the faculty of Commerce and students from Sherubtse College to the newly established college. Mr. Lhato Jamba was appointed by the Royal Government as the Project Director to lay the foundation and supervise the modifications of the existing infrastructure into an educational institution. Subsequently he took over as the first director of the college. Currently, the college has 69 teaching and 82 non-teaching staff with more than 1500 students for the academic session 2017-2018 Host Organizer 3
International Case Conference- ICC2K18 What is a Case Study: In the social sciences and life sciences, a case study is a research method involving an up-close, in-depth, and detailed examination of a subject of study (the case), as well as its related contextual conditions. Case studies can be produced by following a formal research method. These case studies are likely to appear in formal research venues, as journals and professional conferences, rather than popular works. The resulting body of 'case study research' has long had a prominent place in many disciplines and professions, ranging from psychology, anthropology, sociology, and political science to education, clinical science, social work, and administrative science. In doing case study research, the "case" being studied may be an individual, organization, event, or action, existing in a specific time and place. For instance, clinical science has produced both well-known case studies of individuals and also case studies of clinical practices. However, when "case" is used in an abstract sense, as in a claim, a proposition, or an argument, such a case can be the subject of many research methods, not just case study research. Case studies may involve both qualitative and quantitative research methods. This conference is multidisciplinary in nature and cases based on the following themes can be presented: Themes: Business Management and Commerce Psychology and Sociology Economics and Finance Operations Management Human Resource Management Supply Chain Management Information Technology Marketing Corporate Governance Accounting and Laws Organizational Behavior Corporate Ethics Corporate Strategy Program schedule: 4th May Reception of Delegates and Guests Reception Dinner hosted by President, GCBS 5th May - Case Conference Day 1 Inaugural (GCBS Auditorium) Tea Break Orientation on Case Study Lunch Technical Sessions Tea Break Group Discussion and Endorsement of Sessions 6th May -Case Conference Day 2 Technical sessions continued Tea Campus tour Lunch Valedictory Session 7th May Field Visit to Thimphu Departure from Gedu Arrival at Thimphu & start of Field Visit 8th May Corporate Field Visit to Paro ****End of the Event**** 9th May Departure to respective Destinations 6:00 pm 7:30 pm 9:30 am 11:30 am 12:00 nn 1:45 pm 2:45 pm 4:00 pm 4:30 pm 9:00 am 11:00 am 11:30 am 1:30 pm 3:30 pm 7:00 am 11:00 am 7:30 am 8:00 am Who can attend?
