International Conference on ‘Organisation Development’ (OD) in Mysore

The world body has zeroed in on Mysore as it intends to understand emerging economies which are in the process of creating new thought waves and innovation. Realising that businesses are increasingly global and not confined by boundaries, the very core of an organisation is undergoing seismic changes. In view of this dynamic organisation development, the IODA believes that constant interaction among professionals would go a long way in understanding and managing organisation development. 

Foundation for Research, Education and Development (FRED) is the conference organizer, which is supported by various academic institutions as academic partners like Zurich University of Applied Sciences,  Switzerland, Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS) Mumbai, Bharathidasan Institute of Management (BIM) Trichy, and Central Food Technological Research Institute (CFTRI), Mysore.
