Towards solution approach
Mr Amit Agnihotri, Convenor, Indian Management Conclave & Chairman, MBAUniverse.com said that IMC 2013 is aimed towards a ‘solutions’ approach. “At the end of the 3rd summit in 2012, the MBA community started asking for 'solutions' to emerge from the crisis. Feedback from speakers and participants echoed that while we know the problems, what are the solutions. Hence, now we have adopted themes that are more 'solutions' oriented.”
Apart from facilitating discussion & debate on challenges and opportunities facing Indian MBA education sector among key stakeholders like B-school promoters & their academic leadership i.e. Directors, Deans, Registrars, Admission Heads, Indian Management Conclave (IMC) 2013 will bring fresh ideas that are bringing positive results for B-schools.
