EXCERPTS
ISB's Course Curriculum and Faculty
In February 1997, the International Academic Council (IAC) was constituted to design the course curriculum for ISB. The council comprised 21 faculty members from leading global B-schools such as the University of Chicago, Harvard Business School, Stanford, Kellogg and Wharton.
|
Moreover, several members of the ISB governing board, some distinguished entrepreneurs from Silicon Valley and important ISB donors were also actively involved in designing the course curriculum.
In November 1997, ISB entered into affiliation agreements with two of the world's most prestigious B-school institutions - the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University and the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania. These tie-ups helped ISB to facilitate communication and sharing of knowledge among their faculty and sharing of library facilities and global best practices in imparting management education...

ISB's Teaching Approach and Methodology
ISB used a blend of orthodox and unorthodox methods of teaching. The teaching activities involved the conventional way of lecturing, reading and analyzing a published article, real-life simulations, field studies, role-plays, seminars and engaging in video-conferencing chats with professors from various parts of the world.

|
The critical business issues and challenges faced by leading global organizations and the strategies adopted by them were discussed in classrooms. Case studies were used to discuss the real-life problems and challenges faced in business. The case studies also enabled the students to experience a particular business situation as it happened in reality, and enact their way of dealing with the situation in different capacities like leaders, managers, or team members.
Students learnt the intricacies of the concept 'think local, act global.' Godrej said, "...students at ISB
will have more of a global perspective than students elsewhere... a
global perspective with an Asian touch will be the distinctive
factor..." |
