Lectures that enlighten
Lectures at IILM Business School are basically restricted to provide
students with insight into the theoretical and conceptual aspect
of management sciences. The faculty members believe that students
get very limited opportunities to gain theoretical and conceptual
explanations in the industry, therefore, it becomes important
for them to learn it during their academics.
Industry-Interface Cell
Considering the importance of interaction with the industry and
corporate, the faculty members at IILM Business School have formed
the Corporate Resource Interface Cell (CRIC) which creates an
interface with the industry and responsible for providing a platform
for interaction between students and managers in the industry.
The prime objectives of CRIC are
to:
Maintain regular interaction with the industry and organize industrial
training, visits, guest lectures, workshops and seminars to broaden
the exposure of students.
Provide requisite knowledge in areas of personality mapping and
communication skills.
Revise curriculum as per changing business requirements.
Organize inter-cultural exchange with other institutions.
Identify organizations where consultancy assignments can be taken
up.
Case Studies: The
practical angle
Unlike traditional lecture-based teaching where student participation
in the classroom is minimal, the case method is an active learning
method, which requires participation and involvement from students
in the classroom. For students who have been exposed only to the
traditional teaching methods, this calls for a major change in
their approach to learning.
At IILM Business School, the faculty members assign case studies
to students ahead of time to allow them to have a chance to read
through the materials and be prepared with their analyses for
the class discussion. The faculty members then lead the class
discussion and encourage debates between students.
Experiential Learning
The faculty members also give emphasis on experiential learning
through involving students to apply theoretical knowledge to a
real-world business problem. Experiential learning gives students
a "nuts- and- bolts" training approach to management
sciences.
Student Study Groups
The faculty members also encourage students to form study groups
wherein students take up the roles of bankers, accountants, engineers,
etc. to discuss certain projects and methods of solving real life
business problems.
Instructive Seminars and Workshops
Quality, service and reliability are the mottos of IILM Business
School and to achieve the same, the faculty members regularly
undertake corporate seminars. The school also organizes workshops
that help students assimilate the theoretical concepts learnt
by putting them to use in simulated managerial environments. Some
of the workshops conducted include.
