The complexities of modern society require holistic approaches to address multifaceted issues. The convergence of social sciences and management is paramount for tackling challenges related to sustainable development, governance, social inequality, ethical practices, and effective organizational management. According to recent studies, societal and environmental issues have become increasingly intertwined with business and management practices, emphasizing the need for a multidisciplinary approach. The demand for professionals with a comprehensive understanding of social dynamics, cultural diversity, and sustainable practices is on the rise, as organizations seek to navigate complex ethical, social, and environmental landscapes.

By establishing a Centre for Advanced Studies in Social Science and Management, we aim to bridge the gap between academia, industry, and policymakers, fostering collaboration and generating innovative solutions. Research in social sciences has demonstrated its potential to inform evidence-based policies and interventions, contributing to inclusive growth, poverty reduction, and sustainable development. The changing dynamics of the job market indicate a growing demand for individuals with a strong foundation in social sciences and management, highlighting the need for specialized education and advanced training.
