Past few decades have witnessed a great amount of change in business enterprises globally. The economic dovetailing has not only created opportunities for business communities to expand their wings from local economy to global economy but also has created a challenge to survive and sustain amidst high competition. The focus has shifted from product-based to the solution-based approach, and in turn customer intimacy has become a buzz word. Organizations at large are focused towards designing products, processes, policies, strategies, and practices which could benefit the customers at large which in turn would lead to financial success and sustainability of the organizations. It is all about creating value in each process that could benefit the customer ultimately. Human Resource Management as a function is also shifting from its traditional transactional role to the transformational role and is being viewed as a strategic partner of the organization. The HR systems, roles strategies and competencies are being aligned in a way that facilitates the attainment of organizational goals and enhances its value.

The purpose of this conference is to provide the HR practitioners, academicians, researchers and students a platform to share, discuss, and understand how HRM as a function enables the organizational processes to build a sustained competitive advantage.
