NY institute selects GIM for India programme HERALD REPORTER PANJIM, DEC 13
Goa Institute of Management (GIM) has been selected by the prestigious Aspen Institute, New York, as part of its Teaching Innovation Programme India (TIP India) an international consortium of key influencers in business education in India. The TIP India convening was held at the Goa Institute of Management on December 11 and 12. The objectives of the programme were to develop a pilot set of classroom tools that meet the standards of the top business schools in India, actively involve business executives from human resources or leadership development and share tools with select education institutions throughout India. TIP-Indias approach is unique. Rather than teach sustainability as a stand alone topic, cutting edge classroom tools are developed - case studies and interactive simulations - that artfully weave these thorny issues into finance, marketing, and operations courses. In 2007 TIP-India, which was jointly developed with the Confederation of Indian Industry, kicked off with Indias top business schools and leading businesses including Goldman Sachs, Infosys, Hindustan Unilever, Mahindra, Tata, L&T, Dempo, Zuari Industries, Salgaocars and Sesa Goa. By 2010 TIP India expects to have delivered their first set of curriculum and will distribute them free of charge to higher educational institutions across India. GIM has always aimed to impart not just managerial skills to its students but also inculcate in them a sense of social responsibility. The institute lays emphasis on working towards inclusive growth in the society. Aspen Institutes TIP - India programme will immensely help GIM take this thought forward. http://oheraldo.in/pagedetails.asp?nid=31102&cid=26
