Media marauders

The newsmakers are the news

Frequent assaults on scribes covering the Sri Lanka-LTTE conflict have triggered outrage among both local and international media rights groups.

Hettige became the fifth employee of the state television corporation Rupavahini to be attacked or threatened in the last three months.

ONE YEAR FULL-TIME GLOBAL PROGRAMME

PROGRAMME DETAILS
Widely acknowledged as the leader in providing global exposure to students, the 2008 ZEE Business survey of India’s Best B-Schools ranked
IIPM as the 7th Best B-School in India and ranked it the No.1 B-School in India in Global Exposure. At the first ever 2008 Best B-School

In its endeavour to break new grounds in education in India, IIPM is proud to announce its first Global Executive Programme in Planning and
Entrepreneurship. The programme participants will undergo a unique programme spread over 1,400 contact hours in the space of twelve
months, making it the most rigorous and superior Executive Programme taught anywhere. The programme will have a phenomenal focus
on Economics, Entrepreneurship, Leadership & Personality Development, along with a compulsory specialisation in Marketing. A unique
combination of major electives in Finance and HR coupled with super specialisations in Investment Banking, International Marketing, Supply
Chain Management, MIS and IT etc. make up for the rest of the programme.

INTERNATIONAL RESIDENCY PROGRAMME AT CHICAGO GSB

THE WORLD’S No.1 RANKED B-SCHOOL

What makes the programme perhaps most unique and distinct from any other similar programme in India is the compulsory International
Residency Programme on Advanced Global Management that the students will undergo at The Graduate School of Business, University
of Chicago. Chicago GSB is currently ranked as the No. 1 B-School in the world by Business Week as well as the Economist. It is the only
business school in the world to have as many as six Nobel prize winners from its faculty - two of whom are currently teaching as well. At
the end of the programme, all the students will be eligible for a certificate in Advanced Global Management from Chicago GSB.
Inclusive of the programme at Chicago GSB, students undertaking this programme will be spending four weeks in the US. THE ENTIRE
COST OF TRAVEL, BOARDING, LODGING AND TEACHING IS A PART OF THE PROGRAMME FEES. In India, the programme participants
will be taught by a mix of IIPM’s world-class faculty and faculty from leading global B-Schools. All students will go through a special course
on Strategic Marketing imparted by faculty from the Haas School of Business. The super specialisation on Investment Banking is conducted
along with faculty from NUS.
GLOBAL CERTIFICATION: Thus apart from IIPM’s certification and becoming eligible for an MBA degree from IMI, Brussels, students
doing this programme will get a certificate in Advanced Global Management from Chicago GSB, the World’s No. 1 Ranked B-School, and
a certificate in Strategic Marketing from Haas School of Business, the World’s No. 6 Ranked B-School. Additionally, the students who get
selected for the Investment Banking elective will get an additional Professional Certificate in Investment Banking from NUS, Singapore.
ADMISSIONS: The programme will be delivered only at the New Delhi campus of IIPM and commences in January ‘09. Admissions will
be based upon a written test cum group discussion and personal interview. The candidate’s current experience will be of crucial importance
since the programme requires high levels of the understanding of how global businesses work. Over and above that, a high emphasis will
be given on the personality of the student and his emotional quotient. THE NUMBER OF SEATS IN THE PROGRAMME IS STRICTLY LIMITED
TO 80 ONLY.
