Interdisciplinary Research in Technology and Management Proceedings of the International Conference on Interdisciplinary Research in Technology and Management (IRTM, 2021), 26-28 February,2021, Kolkata, India

    The conference on ‘Interdisciplinary Research in Technology and Management” was a bold experiment in deviating from the
    traditional approach of conferences which focus on a specific topic or theme. By attempting to bring diverse inter-related
    topics on a common platform, the conference has sought to answer a long felt need and give a fillip to interdisciplinary
    research not only within the technology domain but across domains in the management field as well.
    The spectrum of topics covered in the research papers is too wide to be singled out for specific mention but it is
    noteworthy that these papers addressed many important and relevant concerns of the day.
