THE GOVERNMENT of India has invited internationally acclaimed global management guru Shoji Shiba of Japan to train IIT and IIM students as global managers.
Shiba, a professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, USA, has earned international fame as a management guru. The Union Government — according to an IIT-K teacher, who is a part of the exercise — has asked the global management guru to prepare 700 students from the IITs, the IIMs and similar institutes as global managers. A meeting was held here today to discuss issue.
Prof Shiba, who reached here today, was also present in the meeting, which started in the morning and continued till late into the evening.
The meeting was also being attended by IIT-K director Sanjay G Dhande, IIM, Lucknow director Devi Singh, along with faculty members from various institutes.
The project aims to inculcate international-level managerial skills in students. It will also help them to better manage multinational companies.
There has been a feeling among IIT-K teachers that the students of this premier institute require better communication and managerial skills. The institute has held several programmes to overcome these shortcomings among students.
Today’s meeting was held to chalk out a strategy for grooming the students and preparing a schedule for it.
