Government may allow foreign schools in India

Dean of the Indian School of Business (ISB), Ajit Rangnekar on Saturday (August 29, 2009) said that Government in near future will allow foreign institutions to expand in the country. He was speaking at three-day 21st Annual Management Education Convention of the Association of Indian Management Schools (AIMS).

This can be viewed both as a threat and an opportunity. Opportunity if you link and collaborate with them, he said. There was a need for the second tier B-schools in India, which are around 375 presently, to distinguish themselves from each other and build and develop their brand strongly, he said.

Managing Director, Microsoft India, Srini Koppolu said that the management institutions aim to teach students the fact that they should concentrate on their core function and be leaders in their areas. He said: "Strategy is fine, but the real fun lies in real-life operations and executions". Industry and management schools can collaborate on leadership and management development of employees through executive education programme, he observed.

Director, IIM Calcutta, Dr Shekhar Chaudhuri said that focus should be on improving soft , writing, presentation and communication skills of management students which make one employable.
