Prof. G.V. MURALIDHARA<br />
Director<br />
We are indeed grateful to all our recruiters who<br />
have shown confidence and faith in our students<br />
over the years. The just concluded placement season<br />
at <strong>IBS</strong> Bangalore for the outgoing <strong>2018</strong> batch of<br />
students witnessed a significant uptrend with a rush<br />
of offers from various reputed domestic as well as<br />
international MNCs that visited our campus. Reflecting<br />
the optimistic business sentiment, corporate houses<br />
across industry verticals showed keen interest in<br />
recruiting from our campus and offered higher pay<br />
packages than previous years. This is a reflection of<br />
the positive experience that our recruiters have had<br />
with our students from previous batches who have<br />
made successful careers in these organizations.<br />
We believe that it is the responsibility of the institution<br />
to provide the best education and environment to<br />
make our students job worthy. The focus of our school<br />
is on maintaining high academic rigor with adequate<br />
exposure to real world problems and opportunities<br />
to engage with the corporate world. In addition, the<br />
diversity of students at <strong>IBS</strong> Bangalore makes for a<br />
unique and healthy environment that encourages<br />
interaction and peer learning.<br />
Placements at <strong>IBS</strong> Bangalore have always been a<br />
two-way process. The reputation of <strong>IBS</strong> Bangalore and<br />
the excellent contact and network with companies<br />
built over the years by the faculty members and<br />
placement managers make the companies look at <strong>IBS</strong><br />
Bangalore as their preferred source for young talent.<br />
The highly motivated and talented group of students<br />
at our campus have made the best use of these<br />
opportunities and chosen these organizations for<br />
building their careers.<br />
5
This year, 125 companies participated in<br />
the placement process, and I am happy<br />
to inform you that a good number of<br />
them are new companies from growing<br />
sectors, that started their relationship<br />
with <strong>IBS</strong> Bangalore this year. The BFSI<br />
sector continued to lead the way in terms<br />
of recruitments. We are also happy to<br />
note that the average CTC has shown an<br />
uptrend for the fourth consecutive year.<br />
A practice-oriented curriculum, a conducive<br />
learning environment, the untiring<br />
efforts of our faculty members, constant<br />
mentoring by our alumni, useful inputs<br />
from the placement team, and appropriate<br />
soft-skills interventions make our students<br />
industry ready while they are still in college.<br />
This ensures that our students are ready to<br />
get into their jobs quickly and start adding<br />
value to their organizations from day one.<br />
With 46,000 alumni in all parts of the<br />
globe occupying senior positions and<br />
the institute consistently achieving high<br />
rankings in B-School surveys conducted by<br />
reputed agencies, we at <strong>IBS</strong> are, as always,<br />
committed to grooming future leaders with an<br />
uncompromising focus on relevance and rigor.<br />
With the high level of integrity and flexibility<br />
that the industry demands today, we are<br />
confident that our students will contribute well<br />
to the growth of your organization.<br />
Please continue to support us in our endeavor<br />
to scale greater heights. I am more than<br />
confident that our mutually rewarding<br />
relationship will continue to go from strength<br />
to strength with your support.<br />
We are also grateful to the industry leaders<br />
who visit our campus from time to time to<br />
be part of the ongoing co-curricular and<br />
extracurricular activities. These interactions<br />
help our students sharpen their skills and<br />
make them ready to contribute effectively<br />
when they take up challenging assignments<br />
in the industry. These industry leaders<br />
provide unique real-life industry insights to<br />
our students that contribute greatly in their<br />
preparation.<br />

Greetings from <strong>IBS</strong> Bangalore!<br />
The distinctive feature of <strong>IBS</strong> Bangalore is that<br />
the pedagogic approach is centered on studentcentric<br />
learning rather than faculty centered<br />
teaching. Students are expected to read up<br />
relevant reference material and case studies<br />
before they come to class. Field trips, projects,<br />
assignments and group activities form significant<br />
components of several courses.<br />
Dr. R. HARISH<br />
Dy. Director | Academic Co-ordinator<br />
In addition, a wide range of extra-curricular<br />
activities and management fests, organized by<br />
the students themselves, provide opportunities<br />
to them to hone their coordinating and interpersonal<br />
skills. A summer internship program of<br />
14 weeks’ duration between the first and second<br />
years, gives them a good measure of exposure to<br />
the corporate world.<br />
It is your continued trust and confidence that<br />
help us scale further heights of performance and<br />
achieve newer benchmarks of excellence.<br />

M E S S A G E F R O M T H E D E A N – M D P<br />
<strong>IBS</strong>-Bangalore’s Management Development Programs are<br />
aimed at establishing a robust interface between the faculty<br />
and the corporate executives. Our Management Development<br />
Programs cover contemporary areas of interest for executives<br />
at all levels. These programs are of varying duration and are<br />
conducted on campus as well as out of campus. Their objective<br />
is to increase understanding and skills in specific areas, while<br />
filling knowledge gaps and boosting competence. The tools used<br />
include case studies, business games, role play, exercises, and<br />
interactions with experienced faculty and fellow participants.<br />
We conduct area specific programs to increase understanding,<br />
develop skills, fill knowledge gaps, and boost competence.<br />
Dr. UMA SREEDHAR<br />
Dean - MDP<br />
<strong>IBS</strong> Bangalore provides a wide range of services aimed at<br />
enhancing managerial effectiveness. These include promotion<br />
and development of sound management practices suitable<br />
to Indian conditions and stimulation of management thinking<br />
leading to excellence. The aim of <strong>IBS</strong>B is to use its teaching<br />
and research resources in ways that will educate and help<br />
decision makers to solve the challenges and pressures posed by<br />
Liberalization, Privatization, and Globalizations of the economy.<br />
We have designed and delivered programs for many top<br />
organizations like Hindustan Aeronautics Limited, Grant<br />
Thornton, Schneider Electric, Fiscal Policy Institute, Bill Forge Ltd,<br />
etc. in all functional areas of management. These are designed<br />
with a proper blend of conceptual and experiential learning.<br />
These programs are tailored to your organization’s strategic goals<br />
that will help you achieve your business objectives.<br />
The facilitators/instructors are highly competent and have rich<br />
industrial experience and a strong conceptual foundation. The<br />
material provided is relevant and the overall program delivery is<br />
extremely well executed.<br />
<strong>IBS</strong> Bangalore plans to conduct programs in the highly topical<br />

M E S S A G E F R O M T H E P L A C E M E N T C O O R D I N A T O R<br />
At the outset, I gratefully acknowledge the<br />
encouraging support and continued patronage<br />
offered by the industry to <strong>IBS</strong> Bangalore both in terms<br />
of recruitment and industry immersion programs.<br />
We at <strong>IBS</strong> B are aware of the dynamism that marks<br />
today’s organizational ecosystem. The ever growing<br />
and synergetic blend of technology and innovation is<br />
fuelling change in both the Indian and global business<br />
arenas. Effectively interpreting and managing the<br />
business horizon is therefore imperative for today’s<br />
management professional.<br />
Prof. VENKATARAMAN J<br />
Dean - Placements<br />
At <strong>IBS</strong> Bangalore, our endeavor has been to prepare<br />
students to be ‘industry ready’. Besides packaging our<br />
courses with industry-insights and relevant conceptual<br />
frameworks, our academic process pays special heed<br />
to nurturing the ‘can do’ outlook among our students.<br />
The result is that the managers-in-the making<br />
represent a desirable mix of the right knowledge,<br />
relevant skill, and ‘go-getter’ attitude through a quality<br />
course curriculum, conducive learning environment,<br />
and soft-skills interventions. It gives me great pleasure<br />
to introduce the class of 2019 PGPM students to<br />
the corporate world. I invite you for the campus<br />
placements of our students of the class of 2019.<br />
May this be another significant milestone of progress<br />
for your organization and for us at <strong>IBS</strong> Bangalore!<br />

ON THE<br />
MOVE<br />
Prof. GEETHA V. SHARMA<br />
The landscape of Global Business<br />
Communication has changed drastically.<br />
There has has been a shift in the<br />
paradigm where the notion of standard<br />
English has made way to the notion of<br />
‘World Englishes‘. This kind of change<br />
raises various questions concerning<br />
English as a global language especially<br />
in business management context and<br />
its use in business and cross-cultural<br />
communication - how can the ESL users<br />
in business context ensure intelligibility.<br />
Through this study Prof Geetha Sharma<br />
hopes to understand the varied levels of<br />
communicative competence in students<br />
and wishes to formulate a set of ‘Can<br />
Do statements’ which may have the<br />
potential to create better communicative<br />
competence in the chosen group which in<br />
turn leads to leveraged reduction of any<br />
potential gaps.<br />

DESIGNED FOR<br />
ANALYSIS<br />
The case study method is a key component of the academic<br />
program at <strong>IBS</strong>, which is one of the few institutions in India<br />
that has made case studies a critical component of its<br />
curriculum.<br />
Almost all the courses in the <strong>IBS</strong> program are designed<br />
keeping in mind the advantages of the case method. The<br />
case studies being tailor-made to the requirements of<br />
different subject areas and topics. Student evaluation is<br />
based on individual/team presentations, written reports and<br />
class participation. Students are encouraged to analyze the<br />
issues in-depth by gathering supporting information - either<br />
through published sources or by directly interacting with the<br />
companies involved. It has a huge repertoire of case studies<br />
for almost all the functional areas in management.<br />
<strong>IBS</strong> has dedicated research and content development<br />
centers for producing case studies and supporting material.<br />
Manned by teams of knowledge workers with many years of<br />
academic and corporate experience, these centers develop<br />
contemporary and thought-provoking case studies which<br />
provide great learning value to the students.<br />
30
Besides <strong>IBS</strong>, these case studies are being used by<br />
a large number of business schools, universities<br />
and companies across the world. Boston<br />
Consulting Group, McKinsey & Co., British Telecom,<br />
Cadbury Schweppes, Coca-Cola, Goldman Sachs,<br />
Hewlett Packard, Johnson & Johnson, KPMG,<br />
PricewaterhouseCoopers, Procter & Gamble, and<br />
Siemens AG are just some of the major business<br />
organizations that use <strong>IBS</strong> case studies. Universities<br />
and business schools that use <strong>IBS</strong> cases include<br />
University of Oxford, University of Cambridge,<br />
University of Helsinki, London Business School,<br />
INSEAD, IMD, University of Michigan, etc.<br />
By learning through the globally<br />
accepted and popular case method of<br />
learning, students are able to hone their<br />
comprehension, analytical and decisionmaking<br />
skills. In addition, case studies help<br />
them become better team players and<br />
managers.<br />
<strong>IBS</strong> case studies have also been published in several<br />
leading management textbooks published in Europe,<br />
the US and the UK. <strong>IBS</strong> case studies have won<br />
recognition at international case writing competitions<br />
organized by institutions such as the Management<br />
Development Center of Hong Kong, EFMD, The John<br />
Molson School of Business, and other institutions.<br />

in the industry. The internship program is jointly<br />
supervised by an industry guide along with a faculty<br />
guide. The internship program carries a weightage<br />
of 18 credits. The students use the internship to<br />

ELECTIVES<br />
The students can pursue elective courses<br />
in Marketing, Finance, Human Resource<br />
Management, Operations, and Information<br />
Technology & Systems. Each student<br />
must choose eight electives. While four of<br />
these must be from a single stream, the<br />
others can be from any other stream. To<br />
specialize in a particular stream, a student<br />
has to pursue at least four electives from<br />
that stream. Thus, a student can acquire<br />
a dual specialization by choosing four<br />
electives from one stream and another<br />
four from a second stream. Keeping in view<br />
Industry requirements, Analytics has been<br />
offered as a specialization from 2016. The<br />
electives include Advanced Analytics & Big<br />
Data Analytics.<br />

MBA was always one of my dreams. A dream<br />
about nurturing relationships, managing<br />
projects and building businesses. ICFAI<br />
Business School (<strong>IBS</strong>) helped me prepare<br />
theoretically and practically to handle the<br />
dynamic trends across industries. With<br />
the rapid rise of internet and related<br />
technologies, no industry is stable and<br />
disruption is prevalent in every industry and<br />
in some, it is lightning fast.<br />

MBA curriculum at <strong>IBS</strong> helped me with<br />
the right set of tools, techniques and<br />
methodologies to address complex business<br />
problems. SIPs, Project work & Electives gave<br />
the right opportunities to work closely with<br />
subject matter experts (SMEs) and thereby<br />
improving practical management skills.<br />
Eminent faculties, case study methodology,<br />
well-equipped Library, intercollege festivals &<br />
3i (Industry Institution Interaction) initiatives<br />
developed me as a well-rounded MBA<br />
professional. Growth of my career from<br />

without the Management exposure I received<br />
at <strong>IBS</strong>.<br />

Are you an entrepreneur in the making? Then investing your time in a<br />
B-school would be the smartest choice for you. MBA at <strong>IBS</strong> has surely<br />
given me a good foundation of knowledge and practical exposure to<br />
succeed as an entrepreneur. While business management degree is not<br />
required to start your own business, it surely has helped me stand out<br />
from the crowd and face day to day operational situations with much<br />
confidence. So it is important for young aspirants to choose the right<br />
B-school which will equip them with knowledge, skills and practical<br />
exposure to discover their endless career path options. “Don’t count<br />
the things you do, do the things that count” Zig Ziglar- mantra to be<br />
remembered when you enter a B- school and thereafter.<br />

When I think of my <strong>IBS</strong> life I always think of this famous quote<br />
“Teacher which presents the past, reveals the present and<br />
creates the future”. <strong>IBS</strong> indeed was the best teacher who<br />
transformed my personality altogether.<br />
So whatever little successful I am right now is simply because of<br />
my college wherein education imparted to me there helped me<br />
to face any challenges of corporate and personal life. I see myself<br />
evolve from a college lad to complete professional that could<br />
synergize the skills with the objective of any organization now.<br />
I will always be indebted to my college and my teachers there as<br />
they indeed helped to create a way for my wills.<br />
