Indian Management Conclave (IMC) Awards 2013 has received huge response with over 50 nominations in different Awards categories entering from across B-schools in India for the first time Awards instituted by MBAUniverse.com, the hosts of Indian Management Conclave.
The IMC Awards 2013 winners, which will be decided by an eminent jury, will showcase their unique ideas initiatives implemented at their respective B-schools through a presentation at IMC Conference 2013. The IMC 2013 Awards will be held in conjunction of IMC Conference 2013 on August 2-3 in New Delhi.
The IMC Awards will be given away in four categories under the IMC 2013 theme ‘Enhancing the Value of MBA’. Top 12 shortlisted Nominations will enter the final stage and the respective B-schools will be invited to present their initiative at Indian Management Conclave on August 2-3 in New Delhi.
The Jury which includes distinguished B-school directors and Management veterans will award individual scores to each of the nominations and the winners will be chosen on the basis of average sum of the individual scores by each jury members. The three broad parameters on which B-school nomination is being awarded scores by the jury include:
Impact: What is the impact of this initiative on its target-group, and other key stakeholders? Is the impact measurable? What are the supporting documents to this effect?
Uniqueness: Is the idea/initiative & its execution unique, or is it merely copied from western models/other Indian institutions?
Applicability: How applicable is this idea to other B-schools? Can many/most B-schools apply this idea? Or it has very limited use for other B-school? The more applicable the idea to other B-schools, the more will be its scalability and future impact.
In case, the Jury member’s institution has entered the IMC Awards 2013, as an accepted international practice, the concerned Jury members will not award any score on that entry. The average scores of rest of the judges will be considered as final for this nomination.
