On 17–18 January 2026, I will be the Program Resource Person for a two day Faculty Development Program on “GenAI Applications in Management Research” at Karunya School of Management, Coimbatore.

This is not a “tools and prompts” tour.

We will work on how faculty and research scholars can:

• Use GenAI as a serious partner in research design and literature work
• Build robust human-to-machine communication with clear guardrails
• Tackle complex analytical exercises using SOIL framework without diluting academic rigor
• Use the CLEAR sense making framework to validate, refine, and de risk outputs
• Protect originality, integrity and citation discipline in a GenAI world

If your research methods have not changed after GenAI, you may already be behind your students. This FDP is designed to change that.
