MANAGEMENT STUDY
St. Stephen's College of Delhi Univerity is venturing into business education for the last time,after launching its Management Centre last week. Known as St. Stephen's Institute for Management Excellence ( SSIME ), the institute will be offering an Accelerated Development Programme ( ADP ) for mid - career professionals, beginning October.
The ADP has been created in partnership with the Jones school of business at Rice University in Houston, Texas , US. The institute will offer training and conduct research in business management , with the goal of advancing best- practices for the indian business environment . SSIME, though closely allied to St. Stephen's College , will remain an independent organisation. Hence, certificates provided at the end of the four - month Programme will not be from Delhi University.
Rev Valson Thampus , Principal , St Stephen's College, Say,'' As the landscape of employment evolves beyond administration and professions, the need for a world - class business and entrepreneurship education has become increasingly critical. SSIME is our response to that need. We are starting with the area in demand mid- career professional.
Sanjay Saigal, alumnus of the college who will serve as teh institue's director, say, ''while teaching in the executive MBA programme of the university of California , I found that textbooks aimed at the instructors of the quantitative decision making course did not conform too well to the kind of client - facing work I'd done for nearly 20 years in the industry. When I found that the problem of unnecessary theory extended beyond my own area, I started working on what turned out to be the ADP programme.
According to Saigal, SSIME, even though independent is still associated with St.Stephen's College because of the College's strength in economics and related disciplines such as history and mathematics. ''These subject provide leverage in understanding why management practices evolve, and how new practices can best adopted by traditional and emerging Indian business sectors. We would be able to take the help of the college faculty in teaching these subject at our institute, ''Saigal.
