IMT Ghaziabad was also the academic host of the 7th annual Global Business School Network (GBSN) Conference which was held in Asia for the first time on June 11-14.
According to IMT, the collaboration with International Business School of Service Management (ISS), Hamburg, Germany, is aimed to offer a certificate on programme in Service Management.

The B-School’s special focus is in the field of Service Management through application oriented and innovative teaching methods. ISS is known for its global approach to management.
The collaboration also aims to promote cultural exchanges between students, researchers, coroprates and faculty. “The programme is planned in a way that students get to work as they learn, the advantage being that they can apply their learnings into their jobs straight away,” said Dr. Bibek Banerjee, adding, “There is a deep talent pool in India which requires exposure, we need to make avenues, channels, for people to reach out to the global market.”
On the occasion, Michael Rene Weber, CEO, ISS International School of Service Management, said, “We need international managers and diversity in Germany, that is why a collaboration with IMT. We have similar practical issues, technology driven issues, and a strong mind of service and customer relationship.”
A first for any B-School in India, the second MoU was with Grenoble Ecole de Management (GEM), France for a joint programme called Doctor of Business Administration (DBA).

The idea of working around management tech was very interesting and that is why the collaboration between IMT and GEM,” said Dr. Benoit AUBURT, Associate Dean and Director of Doctoral Program, Grneoble Ecole de Management.
