THE CHANGING WORLD ORDER- INDIA’S GROWING PROMINENCE

As India takes bold strides towards securing a place in the top three economies in the world, she gracefully dons the persona of a vibrant economy that is set to redefine the global landscape. In an address at Georgetown University's School of Foreign Service, US Secretary of State, Condoleezza Rice said, "In the twenty-first century, emerging nations like India and China and Brazil are increasingly shaping the course of history and Changing The World Order…….”

As India juggles her new found confidence with the tenacious ties of the past, she is still beset with challenges like corruption, poverty, over population and severe income disparities. We the students of the Indian School of Business try to make sense of how these challenges balance with the “Changing World Order.”

How do these inconsistencies affect the business climate in India? What impact does the much prophesised re-shuffling of the economic power centres in the years to come bear upon the common man? What is the role of India in defining the global businessscape? The ILS endeavours to prepare the young business leaders of tomorrow to define and chart the path that India must tread, as she marches ahead to fulfill her destiny.
