IMC Awards 2017 Themes
IMC Awards 2017 will be given away on two themes related to future of MBA education in India and abroad.
Theme 1: ‘Developing a Future-ready Curriculum’
The need for updating and modifying MBA curriculum is more urgent than ever. The core MBA curriculum aims to create a strong foundation in fundamental aspects of business management in areas like Economics, Finance, Marketing, Strategy, HR, IT & Operations. Electives aspire to give a deeper insight into a business function, domain or practice.
The theme will explore the successful initiatives taken by B-schools to make their curriculum more relevant. Such Initiatives could be Reviewing and Revamping the Core Curriculum; Offering new disciplines as part of Core Curriculum in areas like Decision-making, Risk management, Digital business management; Revisiting the Elective Curriculum for emerging business realities; Corporate Partnership Models for development and continuous review of Curriculum with in partnership with the Industry Championing emerging or untapped disciplines/sectors/practices for developing differentiated curriculum strategy.
B-schools can document & share their best initiative in this category with peers, policy-makers and industry colleagues through IMC Awards 2017 platform.
Theme 2: ‘Aligning Curriculum with desired MBA Competencies’
The theme is based on Global and Indian researches which clearly indicate a miss- alignment between the coverage of MBA curricula and competencies required on the job.
Reasons for this miss-alignment can be many. The theme explores the successful initiatives taken by the B-schools after carefully understanding their student’s profile, limitations and after assessing competencies required for placements like conducting research to understand employers’ expectations from management graduates.
