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.
