Leadership for Emerging Asian Business: The Knowledge and Technology Dimension
the 3rd Edition of Asia Integration International Seminar
Concept Note
The choice of men, machine and materials in human history has always gone in favour of materials. Prioritization of wealth, property, money, power and fame have mostly dominated in human history defeating the intrinsic cause of human essence. Various corners of the world have raised the global voice in various ways. The structured rational voices of Europe have echoed in the principles and outlook of Americanism. The global spread of these principles and outlooks have positioned the concern for wealth maximization and value creation, in most of the cases without giving due consideration to human essence.
The divine words of noble persons or prophets have chosen a fair play within the close cardiac compartment of individual human being. The impact of that in the empirical life has very seldom been present in the collective consciousness of human settlements. Here in the East of the World the rising sun with its early morning glow called "USHA" brings in the essence of eternal knowledge, spreading the message:
" Shrinwantu Vishwe Amritasya Putra "
[Oh the immortal source of the world listen the eternal truth that you inherit the spirit of immortality equal in all]
The Indian and divine humanity and principles of truthful self were reflected through a holistic principles of India in terms of Dharma(righteousness), Artha(prosperity), Kama(needs), Moksha (Salvation) over our holistic value of life in the context of the world wherein human being is considered having identity of being one with all and be respectful to any creed, colour, culture, region of living, functional identities in profession, family, identity in the society, identity in the economic position or gender identity.
This voice has been raised by Asia to create new pathway of journey for human being which would embrace everyone through a concern for everyone with a view of having the happiness, pleasure, pains, wins and prospects distributed among all. This view prioritises the intrinsics of human existence over material concerns.
With the philosophy of having faith in the concern for happiness and wellbeing of everyone, this solemn call has most rightly spread in the cosmic air giving a call to man in the universe for a shared view of life with full concern, caring, happiness, distributive justice, friendliness, live-for-other. This unique voice of Asia demands a collective force which would transform the global scenario from the value and wealth seeking to being truly humane with a cosmic sprit within.
It is in this backdrop, the call for Asian Integration, collective Asian mind and developing Asian leadership has been designed.
