The Indian success story is looking good to almost everyone these days. The performance of the economy has been the talk of the town and the budget has fuelled the discussion further. The positive outlook about the evolution of the economy as a whole is spreading its wings and more and more key voices are joining. The latest in the league is the Harvard Business School which has opined on the India story. As per HBS, India's economic growth has global consequences and would positively impact the global markets in the long run.
"India's economic development will have widespread ramifications for the global economy and so it remains a fundamental part of Harvard Business School's global strategy and an exciting place to conduct new research," David Yoffie, senior Associate Dean of the HBS, Harvard University said in a statement while launching three new programmes in their offering for the Indian subcontinent. Building a Global Enterprise in India, Develop India - Strategies for Growth, and Managing and Transforming Professional Service Firms are the latest additions to the HBS’s Indian offering and the University expects a great response from the Indian market.
The first programme, Building a Global Enterprise in India (BGEI), as per the School’s vision, "Is designed to help top executives of companies examine the specific demands facing businesses in India and to equip leaders with new skills to achieve success in this rapidly developing market."
Participants will learn about best practices from businesses with long-established worldwide brands, companies based in emerging markets that have more recently traversed the path to global growth, and those now embarking upon it.
Each case study offers valuable lessons for any enterprise seeking to build scale in India today, the institute said.
"BGEI offers both deep global and Indian perspectives, based on years of research by our faculty, and provides participants with the necessary skill set to drive sustained business success in India," said Nitin Norhia, a professor at the HBS.
Develop India - Strategies for Growth programme will offer participants a personal action plan to navigate India's real estate supply chain- focusing on the major themes of leadership and strategy, financial analysis, sustainability, and urbanization and policy.
While it is a positive move to say the least, but from the outset reflects a pure business perspective, not surprising for a Business School like Harvard.
