Dear Sir/Madam,

Subject: Request Partnering in Knowledge Sharing with Management Teachers in “MTC”

BACKGROUND & MOTIVATION

Management Teachers Consortium (MTC) is a voluntary non- profit group of individual as well
as organisation have been created as a Google Group. The stake holders are Management
Teachers and B-Schools. The group was formed on 29 Jun 2010 and a short span of time , 159
management educators from across the world have voluntarily joined this group and share their
thoughts and views on various issues related to management education.

OBJECTIVES

The group is created with a view to provide a common platform to all management teachers
across the world to share/exchange/express their opinion and develop knowledge and social
capital which ultimately go down to classrooms. The ultimate benefits propel to management
students, management institutions, policy makers, corporate and other interested parties. This
leads to an effective, efficient and productive management education system. This is a
consortium based on ethics and value system.

The objectives of this consortium are:

(a) To share views and opinion about challenges in management education.

(k) To work as a TEAM and create synergy.
(l) To make suggestions to various policy makers.
(m) To encourage faculty/student exchange programme.

INDUSTRY PARTICIPATION

Management Education cannot be isolated/detached from corporate as corporate plays a major

role and the main stake-holder. Based on corporate requirements management education has
been undergoing continuous changes over the years. Globalisation has given a new twist and
course like MBA (International Business), MBA (IHRM) etc are in good demand.

Most of the B-Schools have Industry- Institute- Partnership-Cell, to work closely with Corporate
and it has really helped colleges to fine tune their courses, start different certification
programme, personality development programme and various other co-curricular activities,
which finally helped colleges to place their students in good companies.

Keeping this wide perspective in mind, MTC is opening-up the forum for corporate executive to
share their views on management education, throughput and their expectations from students/B-
schools. Surely, this will further give momentum to this Consortium and will create synergy
leading to Win-Win situation.

I am hopeful that more and more corporate executives will be actively involved in knowledge
sharing with academicians and help bridging the GAP.

Thanks and Warm Regards……..
