SIES College of Management Studies, Mumbai Profile
Name
SIES College of Management Studies, Mumbai
Description
The recent years saw several new initiatives being taken by the institute. This includes launch of Doctoral Program in collaboration with Bengal Engineering and Science University, Shibpur (BESUS), Kolkata, start of the 2-year new program on Biotechnology Business Management, launch of 1-year program on Social Enterprise Management targeted at the NGO sector, spreading the Executive-MBA program across a new centre at Sion. The institute has also established four Centres of Excellence: Banking & Finance, Ethics & Values, Pharmaceutical Management, and Entrepreneurship. The other new experimentation is in context of building research focus at the institute. Knowledge creation and dissemination is the business in which business schools are expected to be in. Research therefore becomes an imperative for schools to build sustainable competitive advantage. We at SIESCOMS strongly believe that it is research and creation of new knowledge that can be an important differentiator. We have thus decided to spend considerable time in this activity both by students and faculty. Research has been integrated in the course curriculum of MBA and students in collaboration with faculty are expected to come out with working papers. This concept is also known as "Idea research Initiative". Hope this experimentation will be a path-breaking one in the landscape of Indian management education.
