The Indian Institute of Management, Lucknow, (IIM-Lucknow) signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with The Kelley School of Business (KSB) at Indiana University, US, for long-term ties for excellence in global business education.
IIM Lucknow and KSB will collaborate on research, faculty and student exchange programmes.
The MoU was signed by Michael A McRobbie, president, Indiana University, Daniel C Smith, dean, The Kelley School of Business, and Dr Devi Singh, director, IIM-Lucknow, at the institute’s Noida campus. The collaboration will include extensive research.
The Kelly School of Business and IIM-Lucknow will explore avenues to enhance their research mission. Collaborative case studies would be developed which would be then used for teaching purpose, design and to deliver a series of faculty research workshops.
The two will combine the interests of faculty at institutes with students, the business community and society in general.
The collaboration seeks to produce events such as webinars, video conferences and regular conferences.
The MoU will also explore the possibilities of launching a dual-degree programme in Business Analytics and Global Strategy. This will be designed, developed, marketed and delivered by both the institutes and be primarily taught at Noida campus by faculty members of the institutes.
Dr Devi Singh, director, IIM Lucknow, said, “As the world gets globally connected, unification of professional education enriches the process of learning and reaches a greater potential. With globalisation come opportunities in various domains of learning.
Research cannot be confined to geographies.
“For innovation in teaching and learning, we join hands with one of US’s leading B-schools, The Kelley School of Business, to share our expertise and learn together,” said Singh.
