Welcome to the MBA Program In the emerging knowledge-based global economy, we have to build our core competencies around powerful ideas. With the increasing complexity of business, there is urgent need for great ideas which can be converted into effective action. The winds of change are blowing all over the world. The transformation from regulation to liberalization, from protection to integration with international markets, and from central planning to free market economies, demands new thinking, new approaches and new skills to accelerate the momentum of growth and ensure success. The new economic order also brings into sharp focus the necessity to efficiently and effectively channelize the resources of the world. While management at both the macro and micro levels would be far more challenging than ever, numerous opportunities for rewarding careers are emerging in this area. These developments place a premium on well-trained young men and women possessing superior professional skills in managing the complex business environment. Managers of tomorrow should be people of vision. They must be well-equipped with knowledge and skills and inspired to lead. If you belong to this select group of managers who will shape the future, equip yourself with the MBA qualification. In this pursuit of preparing tomorrow's leaders, the ICFAI Center for Distance Education encourages students and working executives to pursue the MBA Program on distance learning basis. The MBA Program will stretch your mind and test your limits. It will broaden your business perspective and sharpen your analytical insights. The unique combination of both Indian and International perspectives and the general management focus will give you an edge in your career progression and will prepare you to act effectively as a successful manager in the ever-changing business environment. However, the pursuit of this MBA Program demands intellectual maturity, strength of purpose and willingness to work hard. For those endowed with inquisitive minds and the drive to succeed, this program will be a voyage of discovery leading to professionally satisfying careers. We invite all those who share our vision, goals and purpose to join hands in our efforts to build a new cadre of management professionals, who will participate actively in the growth of this era of economic liberalization and globalization. Come, let us build a prosperous new world together.
