Recognising that ethics and values are so essential for good business practice, XIME would strive to inculcate these concerns in its management graduates. XIME’s Faculty is key to its search for excellence and their development is essential for maintaining highest standards. XIME would ensure this through adequate and relevant research, consulting and training in their areas of specializations. XIME would work towards being counted among the first twenty management schools in the country. XIME’S Quality Policy XIME is committed to pursue high quality standards in teaching, training, research and consultancy and remain accountable to its stakeholders through a process of continuous improvement and renewal. 2 Message from the President The only constant in this world is change. Winds of change trigger a ‘domino effect’ affecting economies, industries and businesses. It is indeed a challenging task for managers to constantly adapt to these changes. Welcome to XIME! We will prepare you for such a turbulent world. In the 50 years that I have spent in the field of management education, I have seen wave after wave of changes that have assailed management education. Not only that we did not go under these waves, but have also succeeded in riding many of them. Built on a culture of merit, integrity and ethics, we groom future managers through a comprehensive and contemporary curriculum supported by courses in ethics, international business and considerable Industry exposure. Appreciation for societal issues is inculcated through various social action programmes and the three-week project on ‘Socially Useful and Productive Activity’. On the whole, our endeavour is to develop managers who can weather the storms of change and emerge victorious in the turbulent world of business and industry. Join XIME and be part of an exciting journey of exploration, learning and development of your managerial potential. Prof. J.
