Edward Weerasinghe Kelaniya Group Correspondent

The ‘International Conference on Business and Information organized by the Faculty of Commerce and Management Studies of the University of Kelaniya will provide an opportunity to all academics irrespective of their rank and seniority to present their work at a common forum, for the first time in a University in Sri Lanka, last week Vice Chancellor of the University of Kelaniya Prof. Sarath Amunugama said last week.

The Vice Chancellor, said at an academic and research institution, the University of Kelaniya is very much concerned with the research output of its academics. The university has always encouraged them through various measures to enhance the quality and quantity of research and continue to do so in the future, too.

Dr. (Mrs) R. P. Chitra Ranjani, Dean, Faculty of Commerce and Management Studies, University of Kelaniya said that the conference theme being ‘Researching realities on Management Phenomenon’ was expected to focus on the diverse perspectives on business, economic and social realities influenced by a wealth of knowledge on commerce management, economics and information.

I strongly believe that the theme for the conference has reinforced my faculty’s commitment towards more rounded approach in teaching and learning, keeping in mind that human activities are related to multi-disciplinary subjects, so any solution to our problems must come from all these subjects.
