“He died when he was alive.” ‘Alive’ because he was travelling, exploring, learning, taking risks, chasing dreams…forever. Paulo Coelho’s ‘The Alchemist’ is a legendary book, a way to be and an illustration of this very philosophy of life.

At Xavier Institute of Management Bhubaneswar’s (XIMB) PGDBM program, ‘The Alchemist’ comes alive every day. In fact, this has been the very essence of the XIMB inspiration.

The students make a journey. Then the journey makes them.

It initiates and begins to flower at XIMB.

Alchemist (n.) A practitioner of alchemy.

Alchemy (n.) An imaginary art which aimed to transmute the baser metals into gold, to find the panacea, or universal remedy for diseases…(n.) A mixed metal composed mainly of brass, formerly used for various utensils (n.) Miraculous power of transmuting something common into something precious.

DIRECTOR’S MESSAGE

A few days back, I was thinking about the 100% placement that XIMB achieved in 2009. I found three primary reasons for this success. The students at XIMB have a strong fundamental understanding of business and its applications not only in theory but in practice. Secondly, they are industry-ready professionals with enormous potential for creativity and innovation. Thirdly, they are “humane managers”, people who manage with a heart for the society and uphold values and ethics which inspires our society to scale greater heights of excellence and prosperity.

In the past one year I have had the opportunity to interact with a few recruiters. I found a common feedback, “XIMB students inspire teamwork, excel in performance, are target oriented and have strong ethical standards.” As the Director of this institute, it gives me immense pleasure to know that the talent which graduates from XIMB is not greed driven but value driven. It adds tremendous vitality to the organizations and ensures that this world becomes a better place to live in.

It is with great pleasure I welcome you to Xuberance 2010. I am sure that the bright young students at XIMB would deeply impress you with their vision for tomorrow, their talent for today and their ethics forever.

Fr. P T Joseph, SJ Director, XIMB

DEVELOPING LEADERSHIP WITH A HUMAN FACE

Learning is more than knowing. XIMB graduates as a part of their program, partner the upliftment -processes of society’s weaker sections. For an XIMB graduate, it’s never just about markets; it’s about the people who make the market, establishing a much deeper grasp over it.

“There is only one way to learn,” the alchemist answered. “It’s through action. Everything Images from left to right: you need to know you have learned through your journey.” • AIDS awareness campaign by XIMB students • AIDS awareness rally in Bhubaneswar • A day out with the children of ragpickers at Nandankanan Zoo • Prize distribution at the Sports Meet held at Biju Patnaik Open Air Jail • XIMB students distributing reading materials for the fl ood-affected children in Baliapada

At XIMB, the philosophy has always been learning through doing.

This is inculcated from the very beginning of the course. During the 2nd term, students are exposed to a very unique course, Organizational Behaviour-II which consists of executing a socially relevant project.

Working in groups, students choose a social problem and workout the milestones towards providing a unique, sustainable solution for it. The initiative serves a dual purpose of teaching the students the importance of teamwork and exposing them to a different life thus providing a humane edge to the leaders of tomorrow.

PEDAGOGY

If intuition empowers the road-map, what empowers ‘intuition’? Condensed realities as well as possibilities across the world…Intuition is a powerhouse of wisdom. But it’s usually dormant, till one awakens it.

Pedagogy at XIMB is oriented to a student’s ‘sense’ of being and discovery and not to sheer knowledge. At XIMB PGDM, education must evolve to be an instinct. “Intuition is really a sudden immersion of the soul into the universal current of life.”

Apart from regular class-room lectures and case studies, the teaching process is supplemented with seminars, role-plays and group exercises. We also have guest lectures by industry experts in our regular courses to augment the learning process and lend a different perspective. Another unique feature is the immersion courses offered which cater to specifi c needs of the industry.

Live Projects form an indispensable part of the pedagogy, with the emphasis on implementation of the concepts in the real world business scenario. Apart from projects done as part of a course, students take up independent research projects under the guidance of a professor in the area of their interest.

State-of-the-art IT infrastructure, and access to a plethora of databases available on the intranet, complement the wholesome learning experience of the students.

Running parallel to the academic curriculum is a foundational course on Emotional Quotient & Leadership which dwells upon developing authentic humanistic leadership style, where people feel meaningfully connected to the leader, and thus will offer support even under the most stressful conditions. The course creates an understanding of emotional intelligence competencies among the students, allowing them to make a signifi cant impact on their business and personal lives.

EXCHANGE PROGRAMS

As India opens up to a global existence, business schools across the Global Managers country are continuously facing the challenge of nurturing ‘global’ managers who can take forward the rapid foray made by Indian businesses. XIMB has long championed the cause of management education with an international outlook. Over the years, the Institute has consciously worked towards creating a unique learning experience so as to expose its student community to the diversity in culture and add to the peer learning experience. This multi-cultural learning environment helps create open-minded, culturally-sensitive managers who could feel at home anywhere in the world.

In the past years, students from XIMB have also participated in a number of international symposiums and competitions including, the Rubicon Contest, Germany, the 17th EBS Symposium, Germany, the 12th European Management Conference, Paris, the Harvard College Asian Business Forum (HCABF), Mumbai, the 11th International Youth Leadership Conference, Prague and the U8 Summit, U.K. This escalated degree of international exposure gives an added impetus to the strong thought-provoking academic culture at XIMB. The Institute recognizes how imperative this is and is therefore committed to expand the scope of its current international associations.
