The Indian Institute of Management, Lucknow, recently announced its tie-up with San Diego State University College of Business Administration (SDSU CBA) for an MBA programme in Global Entrepreneurship.
The emphasis will be on integration of global businesses and cultural learnings and the need to educate managers who are conducting business internationally. This innovative degree takes students around the world to four different countries as they study in a one-year, comprehensive programme that shows them in a hands-on environment how international business is conducted, according to a Press release. “We are happy to be partnering with SDSU CBA in this endeavour to create global managers. We at IIML believe in the concept of global village and in today’s connected world, no organisation can exist as an island. It is a burning need to ensure that managers have wide cross-functional as well as cross-cultural experience to be a success globally”, says Dr Devi Singh, Director, IIM-Lucknow. “This program is the wave of the MBA future,” says SDSU CBA Dean, Gail Naughton, an entrepreneur and pioneer in the field of tissue engineering. Students begin their study with six weeks in San Diego and then travel for 12-week blocks to each partner university in China, India and West Asia, finishing their last six weeks in San Diego. The first class is scheduled to begin in Fall 2007. For further information log on to: www.gemba.sdsu.edu.
