VIVEKANANDA
INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT STUDIES promoted by a group of professionals and run by
Coimbatore Education Foundation, is an outstanding stand alone B-School with an
avowed goal of achieving human excellence by means of Academic and Allied
programmes.
The
Management dedicates the Institute to the Nation on the 150th birth anniversary
of Swami Vivekananda to transform the youth of India into a potent knowledge
power.
In the
horizon of contemporary management education, one can visualize the emergence
of great opportunities and formidable challenges. The fact that the national
economy is triggered into the trajectory of growth, never witnessed before, the
emerging economic regime has galvanized the need for management graduates to
man the corporate as well as SMEs. This leaves a large gap in the supply of
professional managers providing a great opportunity for the aspiring youth who
want to pursue management education.
At the same
time the deficiency syndrome in respect of quality, employability and the skill
set of management graduates pose a formidable challenge. As such the competency
and employability of management graduates will have to be enhanced and fine
tuned. The B-schools by and large have to prepare themselves to fill this
quality gap and meet the industry expectation.
Learning
management concepts and techniques per se is not enough; the success lies in
translating knowledge into wisdom by applying the same to real world situations
and problems. Methodologies in teaching should be devised in such a way that
the real-world experiences are brought into class-room situation. Case studies
relevant to Indian environment will be more realistic.
Yet another
deficiency is the need to change the ethical make up of the mindset of
management students so that they are able to appreciate the ethical values and
integrate such aspects with the decision-making process.
The programme
architecture of VIMS is designed to address the above issues and provide a
holistic education in the field of management.
