Call for papers: Research papers are invited on following sub-themes

In today's competent world characterized by the deep rooted impact and influence of globalization, anything is possible, be it economic meltdown or recession. With uncertainties doing its round in every other area of the socio- economic and political realm, there is a constant push to accept change. Realizing this comprehensive truth, academic disciplines have reconciled with the emerging trends in order to pursue the expectations of the volatile environment. Commerce as a discipline is no exception to this.

The field of commerce is ever experiencing enhancements and advancing towards a better future. These advancements prove to be a blessing in most of the cases. The challenge ahead of commerce today is to promote and enhance sustainability in its growth by avoiding the mistakes of past and building milestones to look up to in the future. Extensive research in these enhancements in commerce would unmask and extract the hidden ideas in today's competitive world.

We are committed and determined to contribute our share to the emerging paradigms in commerce by providing a platform for discussion and interaction on the various, yet to be unmasked aspects of the field of commerce. We aim to discover the undiscovered and explore the unexplored opportunities in Commerce through Samshodhan 2013, our National Academic Seminar, Organized by Department of Commerce, Christ University.
