| IIMs' glo-cal dilemma | 21-OCT-09 |
|
| Last week's decision by Minister of Human Resource Development Kapil Sibal to allow the Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs) to go global is a good idea, provided it does not draw on the manpower and financial resources of IIMs in India. The concept generated heated debate two years ago when Sibal’s predecessor Arjun Singh turned down IIM, Bangalore’s proposal to set up a campus in Singapore at the suggestion of that country's government. Singh’s argument then was that the IIMs should first concentrate on meeting domestic demand. Sibal has since reversed that stand, saying the IIMs would be free to go abroad provided they amended their memoranda of association. Rather than set up foreign campuses, IIMs should look at the franchise option to build their brand globally. |
