The balance of economic power is shifting from North America and Europe to Asia. Vibrant managers from India are stepping out to dominate the emerging economies in Asia and beyond. Are you ready ! India has been steadily integrating with the global economy since the early 1990s. The country has thrown open its doors and has become a part of the vigorous Asian growth. Today it is widely recognized that India, along with China, is the new economic powerhouse. For future managers there are two significant movements in global economic landscape that will influence corporate strategies and actions. One, India and other Asian countries are increasingly becoming a part of ASEAN Free Trade Area (AFTA). Two, India is steering open economy movements in other powerful trade blocks, like BRIC (Brazil / Russia / India / China) and IBSA (India Brazil South Africa). Multinational companies are therefore keenly viewing these countries both as markets and manufacturing or service bases. Indian companies too are increasingly investing in developed and emerging countries. India has emerged as one of the strongest and well managed economy with a vast middle-class population, well-built education system, structured political hierarchy, strong capital market and respectable economic reform, Asia today is the growth zone of the world. Today the demand is for a new breed of managers with a global perspective.

The Paradigm Shift

05

A School of Change for the Changing World

The new paradigm needs a radical shift in management education. Managers of tomorrow need to be schooled with global best practices. Their understanding must embrace the practical realities of managing modern, technology led business in open economic environment. Today the demand is for managers who can appreciate the global linkage of products and services - a trend which will grow manifold in the years to come. While global ivyleague business schools have redefined their curriculum with this industry demand, management education in India remains largely a conservative, theory-based, orthodox academic process. This need was identified by a group of Indian born economists, academicians and top MNCs executives a few years ago. To meet this need, they came together to form Unitedworld - the first Open Economy ready B-school. Unitedworld is one of the few Indian B-Schools where the curriculum is geared to meet market demands of the open economy. The aim: to groom talent for the South and SE Asian business needs. In three years flat, Unitedworld was awarded as the best institute to learn marketing management in India. CMO Asia recently recognised Unitedworld as the best upcoming Business School in Asia (July 2011). Campus placement record 2010-11 shows how fast India Inc. identified the global perspective of the institute and absorbed all its students. Unitedworld is Asia's fastest growing B-School brand today.

Unitedworld Knowledge Backbone

Brand identity and recognition of an institute has a linear relationship with the Human capital associated with it. We believe that it's only the combined talent of Human Capital that builds a knowledge organisation. With a valuable network of talented Indian executive spread across the globe, clubbed with competent Indian academic pool, adjunct faculties from Ivy League B-schools, and Brand linkages, Unitedworld has become one of the top Indian platforms to learn the global economic order.

Evaluation

Curriculum design

The programme also aims to integrate the use of computers & Information Technology in different functional areas of management. It will also enable students to acquire skills in handling complex problems in management, especially in this era of globalisation resulting in intense competition. The students are also required to undertake several projects as a part of the curriculum to get indepth insight into the actual work environment. The curriculum will be reviewed and continuously benchmarked through discussions with practicing managers and thought leaders from the industry to reflect current business needs.

Throughout the duration of the programme, the student will be tested on his/her ability to understand concepts, learn techniques and apply them to problems in the real world. At each stage of the course, the student would be in a position to assess his/ her performance and take measures to make improvement. In each course, a student is thus awarded with only a letter grade. The weighted average for all courses taken by a student in the programme is called the Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA).
