Why IIMBx
The vast Indian talent pool has traditionally been handicapped by physical capacity constraints of premier
educational institutions. Only the very best would qualify to partake of such knowledge, while an equally deserving
majority had been deprived of it. Universal access to quality education is the prime objective and driving philosophy
behind the IIMBx initiative. As the potential impact of this programme is very broad, IIMBx will reach a much wider
and diverse spectrum of learners across India and around the world, ranging from students wanting to broaden
their horizons, to teachers looking to enhance their pedagogy.
What
IIMBx offers courses in core areas of management, delivered by some of our best faculty. More than ten courses
on fundamental management topics such as Accounting, International Business, Financial Markets, Operations
Management, People Management, Information Systems, Statistics, etc. and specialized courses on Sustainability,
Analytics, Indian Healthcare, etc. have been launched. These courses are typically 5-6 weeks long and can be
taken completely online on the edX platform. IIMBx also offers a special online programme titled Fundamentals
of Business Management. This is a series of 6 MOOCs comprising core management courses viz. Accounting,
Corporate Finance, Marketing, Operations Management, People Management and Business Strategy.
