NSM 2022: International Conference on Network Science in Management 2022 Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad Ahmedabad, India, December 17-18, 2022

Integrated management systems have come to the forefront of the current business environment. Understanding the influence of one subsystem on another and understanding system level implications have become crucial for the advancement of business and policy research and practice. Network science provides an important set of theoretical and empirical tools to understand and model the behavior of individual, firm-level and institution-level actors.

The focus of the conference is on theoretical modeling and data-oriented analysis of networks. We invite researchers working on cutting edge network science and its applications in business management and policy studies, broadly defined.
