There were serious
concerns raised regarding the quality of the papers presented.
Irrespective of the
quality of the paper and the presentation skills exhibited by the scholars it
is important to look at whether there is any insight given by each paper. It is the insight presented that will
determine the quality of the paper. In terms of the insight each paper had one
or other insight to contribute to the audience. For example the paper on
Research and Publication on Hotel management gave the valuable insight that
there are no post graduate courses offered in this domain in India

Hello Sir,
Glad to see your blog on the web. it is very interesting.
As one of the participant of conference on "Knowledge Dissemination Through Journal Publications". I would like to share my views on why research in hotel management has not been so famous or taken up by many.
We have to see that the "Hotel Management" course itself is a market driven. When a course is market driven and lack theoretical underpinnings it is difficult to grow as a discipline. That is so with the case of many IIMs in India. They are preparing good mangers but not researchers. That is the reason why IIMs have not been able to produce good researchers.
Hotel management people can think of doing research with blend of other subjects where theoretical foundation is so strong. For example they can collaborate with food and nutrition or home science and do interdisciplinary research. Simple narrow downing on hotel management which has not strong foundation as a subject. The research in this area also take back seat. Hotel management faculty can also look at foreign university and what they are doing in terms of research.
Thank you very much for your wonderful assistance. I enjoyed my stay in Christ
