 Welcome
to the first issue of the ISB Update
- the ISB's online newsletter. The ISB has come
a long way since we started the first post-graduate
programme in July 2001. A lot has happened in the
last six months. We formally inaugurated the school;
we launched our executive programmes and we set
up our first centre of excellence. Faculty from
some of the world's leading schools including Wharton,
Kellogg, LBS, Chicago, Duke, Stanford, and Minnesota
have come to teach here. Over the last six months,
several industry leaders and entrepreneurs have
visited the campus and interacted with our exceptionally
talented and diverse founding class. The admissions
process for the second year is under way, and placements
for the class of 2002 have already begun. Every
aspect of the school - the outstanding faculty,
the contemporary curriculum, the state-of-the-art-facilities
has received excellent feedback and ratings from
visitors, students, and executive programme participants.
The visiting faculty have enjoyed teaching here
and have expressed their desire to come back and
teach another term.
2002 promises to be just as
exhilarating and eventful for the ISB as 2001
was. In addition to regular updates on the events
and developments at the school, the ISB Update
will bring to you some management mantras
as well. The 'CEO Speak' section captures the
wealth of thought and experience that some of
our corporate visitors have shared with us. 'Cutting
Edge' comprises articles from our stellar faculty
who are not only the best academicians in their
respective fields, but are also involved in research
projects at the frontiers of knowledge.
I hope that you will enjoy
reading the ISB Update.
