Business and Policy Dialogue | Indian School of Business (ISB)

Overview

Business and Policy Dialogue, a series of constructive discussions between ISB faculty members and policy practitioners, was instituted in 2020. These dialogues aim to facilitate a meaningful exchange of ideas, insights, and research-based perspectives on a topic of mutual interest.

Key aspects of the Business and Policy Dialogue include:

Thought Leadership: The initiative serves as a platform for showcasing cutting-edge research and innovative ideas from our faculty members, who are renowned experts in their respective fields. Through these insights, we actively contribute to the formulation of progressive, impactful, and well-informed policy frameworks.

Collaboration: Through meaningful dialogue and knowledge sharing, we cultivate mutually beneficial relationships that support policy formulation, implementation, and evaluation.

Knowledge Dissemination: Business and Policy Dialogue aids the dissemination of research outputs, policy briefs, and insights through diverse channels. It aims to reach a wide range of audiences, including policymakers, researchers, practitioners, and the general public, in order to raise awareness and facilitate informed decision-making.
