The Centre for Management of Innovation and Technology (CMIT) of the International Management Institute (IMI), New Delhi is organizing a Training Program on "Interfacing Social Sciences with Management Education". An Announcement Brochure of the Program outlining its objectives, contents and methodology is now available.
The three-day program is proposed to be organized from 20-22 October, 2010 at the International Management Institute, New Delhi. Financial assistance for organizing the Program is being extended by the Technology Management Programme Division, Department of Scientific and Industrial Research, Government of India.
The need for providing better understanding of social sciences in management education and integrating social sciences seamlessly with management education cannot be overemphasized. If this is to happen the agents of change will be teachers of management and indeed social scientists who are fully sensitized to the issues of social sciences as they impinge on the preparation of managers and can bring about needed curriculum changes, without, of course, compromising on the management content. The purpose of the program is to develop awareness and sensitizing teachers of management programs to a host of issues relating to society so as to enable them to make curriculum changes and implement them.
An research or higher education institution can nominate a senior functionary of their respective organization to participate in the Training Program. Organizers shall appreciate the contribution of their representative in presenting the perspective on the subject from the point of view of their organization in various sessions. There is no fee payable for participation. However, due to financial constraints, Organizers are unable to offer financial assistance to participants for travel, stay and related costs.
Last date for sending nomination is 11 October 2010.

Program Brochure and Nomination Form can be obtained from Ms. Mamta Bhatnagar.
