An Overview about MBA Programme
The MBA Programme is the Flagship Programme of "Indian School

business leaders, attention will be paid to see that they are
matured enough to work in work group & teams.
This programme lays the foundation for conceptual and analytical reasoning and gives the students an insight into the dynamics of business environment. The course material and design are oriented towards current and emerging issues in management.
ISSM's programme prepares the students to manage and lead in global business scenario, which is getting increasingly complex and dynamic. To meet the challenges the students require keen perception, flexibility and the ability to merge management theories into action plans, slicing through management jargons, the one area that has to be practiced on a moment-to-moment basis. The secret is to have global perspective, while at the same time be aware of local conditions. AT " ISSM" our management practitioners are more comfortable with latest technology and be sensitive to the importance of ethical and human values.
ISSM's faculty members keep themselves updated on present management realities by virtue of their extensive involvement in research and consultancy.
There is a strong emphasis on project work as a part of regular course. While working on projects students are required to interact with managers from the industry. A student graduating from "ISSM" would have carried out one major project, 2 mini projects and one summer internship.
Developing skills to lead and teamwork is the important facet of the programme. This anticipates practices in many of today's successful organizations. AT ISSM we mentor the students to be strong team player and learn the leadership qualities.
The interactive skills of effective communication, conflict management, negotiation and mobilizing individuals towards common goals are the essential ingredients of effective management. Regular group discussion and discussion forum with the industrial leaders will enable the students to voice out the opinion and this will be the best practice for them.
