Description
As business becomes increasingly global, the need for managers with international knowledge continues to grow. It is necessary to learn to operate and manage effectively in an international environment. This is very much a part of the BGIMS experience. Augmenting Global Teamwork The ability to work with and to lead a team is critical to the success of today's manager and requires a well-developed understanding of both cultural and individual differences. At BGIMS, we place great emphasis on the interactive skills of effective communication, conflict resolution, negotiation and mobilizing people towards common goal - essential ingredients of effective management. The majority of the program is spent working in teams. Staying Close to Managerial Practice The MMS of BGIMS is inspired by management practice, not academic theory. More than ninety percent of our faculty members are practicing managers and stay close to management reality through their field-based experience, research and consulting work. As a result, the learning materials they present in class represent the latest thinking in management practice and provide insight into emerging trends. Finally, the opportunity to apply what is learned is an integral part of the program. The Projects provide an acid test of the skills and the knowledge acquired in a real-world context.
