| MIB
Programme |
The
economic liberalization and privatization, opening
up of markets, lowering of trade barriers and
globalisation of business are all emerging realities
gaining momentum and having far reaching impact
on the Indian economy. |
In
this context, to size up market options and to
magnify avenues in the vast global market calls
for marketing acumen, exceptional managerial skills
and caliber in business decision-making. The new
paradigm calls for infusion of soft skills and
techno commercial capabilities in students and
this has provided the rationale for the new 2
year Master of International Business (MIB) curriculum. |
The
curriculum follows an evolutionary pattern. The
course content in the initial stages deals with
the fundamentals of foreign trade and the basic
concepts of major management disciplines. The
subsequent course contents give enough scope for
students to have a tryst with the practical and
technical aspects of International Marketing,
International Trade, Foreign Exchange, Logistics
Management, Exports, Imports, Strategic Management,
Global Financial Management, International Business
Relations, Foreign Trade Legislations, Brand Management,
Merchandising, Research, etc. |
| Value
Addition |
Seminars,
Guest lectures, field and industrial visits and
other interactions serve to explore areas of specialized
expertise, and expose the students to the real
world professional problems, challenges and work
environment. Many of the programmes take the form
of workshops, seminars and interactions with the
on-the-job professionals both locally and at places
like Mumbai, Delhi, Kochi, Chennai etc. Students
are encouraged to take up mini projects and industrial
training in industries in and around India and
abroad. |
Students
are motivated and provided opportunities to become
computer and internet conversant, and to appreciate
the potentials of the Informatics and Business/Commerce
Interface as manifested by IT applications in
e-commerce, IT enabled services, logistics, etc. |
| Placements |

attention and effort are devoted to secure placements
for the students through campus interviews as
