Reflecting a change in the landscape of global business trends, an increasing number of students of Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad (IIM-A) are sensing more business opportunities in the East than the West.
When a list of destinations including universities in US, Europe and Asia was given to the students of the postgraduate programme in management for Executives (PGPX) at IIM-A this year, more than 60% of them opted for destinations in Asia. A total number of 63 out of 101 students of the one-year executive MBA programme opted to visit universities in China, Hong Kong and Singapore to learn management practices there and seek possible business relations.
International Immersion at PGPX is a two week programme where all students compulsorily go abroad for two weeks of academic study in other countries. The objective is to expose students to work practices in a different environment and make them understand macro-economic underpinnings, strengths and weaknesses of the host country from a business perspective.
