Vision and Message of Head of Department

Dr. P. Sridharan

  • Professor

Greetings and Warm Welcome to the Department of International Business:

Established in 2006, the Department of International Business was conceived with a strategic vision to offer a distinguished MBA program dedicated to the nuances of global commerce. Our overarching mission is to redefine the paradigms of management education through an internationalized lensโ€”pioneering advanced knowledge, fostering integrity, dependability, and social responsibility among future leaders, and empowering them to adeptly support business enterprises both within our borders and across the globe. This initiative seeks to elevate best practices in international trade and cultivate a cadre of visionary managers capable of navigating the intricate complexities of the global marketplace with confidence and competence.

Our MBA in International Business is a meticulously designed program aimed at developing a proficient and versatile cadre of business executives prepared to meet the rising demands of international trade management. The curriculum emphasizes a comprehensive understanding of global business dynamics and inspires students to confront international challenges with innovative solutions. Core areas of study include Foreign Languages, International Marketing, International Finance, Economic Analysis, International Logistics, Foreign Exchange Management, Cross-Cultural Management, and Strategic Oversight of Multinational Corporations.

In response to the growing national need for specialized expertise in logistics and supply chain management, the department launched the MBA in Logistics and Supply Chain Management in 2017. This program provides an extensive foundation in critical domains such as International Logistics and Management, Procurement, Storage and Warehouse Management, Distribution Strategies for Global Supply Chains, Port and Airport Operations, Containerization, Multimodal Transport, Maritime Logistics Law and Documentation, and the deployment of cutting-edge software solutions pertinent to logistics and supply chain operations.

Complementing our professional offerings, we also host a rigorous Ph.D. program in International Business, fostering scholarly excellence and pioneering research in this vital field.

Our department boasts an exemplary track record in placement, with graduates successfully recruited by leading multinational corporations and prominent organizations worldwide. This achievement stands as a testament to the high caliber of our academic programs and the competence of our alumni.

We are committed to cultivating an inclusive, intellectually stimulating environment that attracts students from all corners of India. Our collaborations through Memoranda of Understanding with esteemed foreign universities facilitate faculty and student exchanges, as well as joint research initiativesโ€”further enriching our academic ecosystem. We champion innovation, critical thinking, and responsible leadershipโ€”principles that are indispensable for managerial excellence in todayโ€™s interconnected and dynamic global landscape.

Our strength lies in our dedicated faculty and staff, whose expertise and innovative pedagogical approaches inspire and empower our students. Beyond imparting knowledge, our educators instill core values and uphold the rich ethos of Indian culture. We nurture a spirit of inquiry, encouraging students to challenge existing paradigms and contribute meaningfully to societal progress. Emphasizing high-quality research as an integral part of our academic culture, we continually strive to push the boundaries of knowledge.

We take immense pride in our identity and remain forward-lookingโ€”never resting on past laurels, but constantly seeking innovative avenues to impact business and society positively. We invite all stakeholdersโ€”students, faculty, industry partners, and society at largeโ€”to join us on this journey of disseminating value-based management education and shaping the future leaders of tomorrow.
