<strong>IPMX</strong> Pedagogy<br />
<strong>IPMX</strong> has an exciting academic schedule spread over four<br />
terms. The programme provides a firm grounding in<br />
concepts <strong>of</strong> general management and <strong>of</strong>fers opportunities<br />
to students to specialise in their areas <strong>of</strong> interest.<br />
Initial part <strong>of</strong> the <strong>IPMX</strong> calendar focuses on building the<br />
foundation by making the participants comfortable with<br />
the fundamentals <strong>of</strong> economics, operations management,<br />
management accounting, decision making techniques,<br />
marketing, strategic management and international<br />
business communication. This is achieved through<br />
classroom discussions, case studies and role playing<br />
exercises. Later part <strong>of</strong> the programme allows the students<br />
to choose subjects based on their long-term career plan<br />
and develop a deeper understanding. At this stage the<br />
teaching pedagogy focuses more on applying academic<br />
framework to real life problems and extensive industry<br />
interactions.<br />
Throughout the programme, students work on joint<br />
projects and assignments with their assigned peers. During<br />
the academic year, students go through as many as 50 team<br />
projects and assignments. A continuous flow <strong>of</strong> information<br />
on the latest industry best practices is maintained by<br />
workshops and speeches delivered by senior management<br />
from the corporate world and industry experts. These<br />
workshops go a long way in helping the students stay<br />
connected with the industry and gain valuable insights.<br />

International Module<br />
Global competition has forced businesses to revolutionise their management strategies in<br />
order to function across multiple geographies. The increasing rates <strong>of</strong> change, technological<br />
advances, shorter product life cycles, and high-speed communications have all contributed<br />
to this paradigm shift. In such a dynamic environment, there is an augmented need <strong>of</strong><br />
managers who can work seamlessly to bridge geographical, social and cultural gaps to realise<br />
every prospect. International immersion helps tomorrow's leaders make and manage a<br />
winning global team by effectively leveraging sound understanding <strong>of</strong> international team<br />
dynamics to overcome these geographical, social and cultural distances. In the past <strong>IPMX</strong><br />
students have undertaken their international modules with reputed institutions like ESCP<br />
Paris, McGill University, Canada and Kelley school <strong>of</strong> Business, <strong>Indian</strong>apolis.<br />
The <strong>IPMX</strong> class <strong>of</strong> 2013 would undergo the international immersion in collaboration with<br />

industry which will facilitate students in gaining valuable experience from firms with<br />
international repute and outlook. The international immersion also provides students with<br />
critical insights on business dimensions <strong>of</strong> international firms, cross border mergers, global<br />
workforce management, challenges <strong>of</strong> multi-domestic operations, and the solutions<br />
there<strong>of</strong>. The rich and diverse experience gained from international module brings a new<br />
perspective to students' thought process and helps the students in exploring innovative<br />
means to collaborate and grow in multinational environment.<br />

Pre-<strong>Placement</strong> Talk (PPT) is an ideal platform for recruiters to share their<br />
organisation's opportunities, culture and structure with students. In<br />
addition, recruiters can build a strong brand on campus. Our 30- 45<br />
minute presentation followed by 15-20 minute Q&A session is most<br />
effective for PPT.<br />
We advise recruiters to negotiate on remuneration and other terms <strong>of</strong><br />
employment in strict confidence with candidate. However, recruiters<br />
need to keep the placement committee informed at the following stages<br />
so that placement committee can ensure effective compliance <strong>of</strong> policies:<br />
