IBS®
has a unique and innovative approach to business
education, that focuses on providing the right knowledge,
imparting the right skills for enduring success in
management careers, and shaping the right attitudes.
|
|
|
The
right knowledge is clearly a critical success factor in
business. The right knowledge implies relevant,
contemporary and cutting-edge knowledge, in the theory and
practice of a variety of core, functional and integrative
subjects. As practice precedes theory in business,
equal emphasis is placed on concepts and
applications. This blending of ideas and actions is
achieved through various pedagogic techniques like
lectures, case studies, business games, the summer
internship program, the business research project, etc.
|
|
What
matters most in business is what one can actually do. Doing
well implies mastering and applying the skills -
professional, personal and human - required for effective
decision-making and execution. IBS®
trains the students in
these skills through a series of soft-skills lab sessions
scheduled over the duration of the program.
In
addition, case-based learning at IBS®
helps students develop
good analytical skills.
The
Stipendiary Assignment Program is another unique
skill-development program. Through this program, students
have an opportunity to develop their communication,
presentation, HR and marketing skills.
A
critical attribute for success in life is cultivating the right
attitudes like positive thinking, risk-taking, opportunity seeking,
adapting to change, and achieving a proper balance between divergent
goals of life. IBS®
helps students develop the right attitudes, and
encourages them to grow into balanced and well-rounded individuals
capable of taking up leadership positions.
