Currency symbols structure the world’s economic eco-system and signify local ethos and understanding. Often, they are the most powerful symbols of economic power, the new Rupee symbol for instance. India is one of the fastest growing economies and close to being an economic super-power. Her new currency symbol is a testimony of history in the making. What must support this emergence is management competence that is globally aligned. Quite like the GSIB manager. Trained in varied faculties of international trade, logistics and banking. And equipped to see the world as his/her natural office. His/Her evolved aptitude is seamlessly relevant across the borders; complementing the new global position of India.

The GITAM University School of International Business has over a period of slightly more than twelve years evolved as a School of Excellence offering three Post-Graduate Programmes, one certificate Programme, and two Research Programmes in International Business which draw students from different states of the country and some students even from abroad on exchange Programmes. The rich cultural and academic ambience that it creates every year has become a benchmark for creating ambience in business schools. Nevertheless, the School does not feel complacency and on the other hand continually changing for the better than the best. The faculty, students, and alumni constantly working under the stewardship of its Dean Prof V K Kumar deserve rich kudos.

It is our desire that it would evolve as a model school of excellence for others in the GITAM University to emulate. It is precisely with this in our mind, the School is provided with centralized air-conditioning, latest state of the market technology, and other support systems. It is our plan to make the Post-Graduate Programmes residential and arrange for more interaction for students with the visiting faculty from industry and other leading business schools. It is our belief and conviction as well that such a 24X7 interaction would help the students learn optimally and process themselves industry-ready.

The School has become sought-after even on other counts as well which include research, executive education, and consultancy. Slowly, but steadily, the School is internationalizing its faculty, students, and activities which is quintessential for a truly international business school.

The location of the School within a serene and green campus with stunning beach-front is inviting for students and working executives to spend their time fruitfully. I invite you to the School and take full advantage of the rich resources created to develop skills and build a wonderful career for yourself.

I look forward to meet you at Visakhapatnam described as a city of destiny.

With growing business opportunities around the world, B-schools are nurturing ‘the’ managers for the corporate world as a complete package with the ability to confront challenges head-on. The corporate world too is anticipating brighter and inquisitive mind sets from the Business schools to add value to their own performance bench-marks.

GITAM School of International Business has chosen to adopt a fresh and flexible approach in its functioning, designing and delivering the programmes in line with these perceived needs of the corporate world, in pursuit of excellence and continuous learning based on fundamental truths and principles.

With three two- year rigorous MBA programmes in International Business, International Banking & Finance, and Global Logistics & Supply Chain Management, GSIB has been a breeding ground for industrious and innovative managers inculcating strengths to develop superior expertise in these niche fields of management functional domains.

Recruiters have repeatedly endorsed the abilities of our students by embracing our school every year for recruitment, not withstanding even the recession of 2009.

The batch of 2009-11 is yet another set of brightest young management minds eager to step in, perform, and excel.

I welcome and invite you to the placements at GITAM School of International Business and hope that our partnership will develop into one respected and treasured by both.

BUILDING GLOBAL COMPETENCIES

The twenty-first century is about change, very rapid change. The world now changes more in a decade than it once did in a millennium. Such an exponential change means an unprecedented rate of obsolescence of almost every thing we teach and learn. The mantra for survival and growth is adaptation to change. We understand this most important urgent need. A look at our dynamic approach in the pursuit of excellence, be it in our curriculum development, teaching and learning methodologies, and executive management Programmes, research and consultancy programmes will convince the most skeptical observer.

The twenty-first century is also about globalization. While a lot about it is being written and discussed widely, many have not got the big picture yet. While not claiming any mastery on the subject, are certainly clear about one thing. We have got the big picture. We know what it takes to win in the emerging global market place. You need to be globally competent to succeed in the global market place. And global market place is not just international markets. Globalization is slowly but surely erasing the borders and boundaries between domestic and foreign markets. Whether you are competing in international markets or not, you are competing globally, because international brands are competing with your brands on the shelves of your departmental stores, hypermarkets, malls in your very own domestic market. That’s why global competencies are mandatory irrespective of whether you compete internationally or not.

Scholarships & Awards To foster excellence and encourage meritorious students, we offer Scholarships for eligible students at the end of first year. In addition, we also offer Merit- cum-Means and other Scholarships as below:

Merit Scholarships: 100% and 50% tuition fee waiver will be awarded to the top two students respectively on the basis of their academic performance cumulatively upto third trimester (end of first year).

Merit-cum-Means Scholarships: These scholarships will be awarded to 5% of students. The amount of scholarship will be fixed at Rs.2000 per month or at Rs.20,000 per annum as per terms and conditions.

Also, in recognition of the efforts put in by Students, we award Gold, Silver, and Bronze Medals to meritorious students at the end of satisfactory completion of the Course.

In addition, GITAM President Gold Medal is awarded to one Student who has shown all round performance and acumen for leadership. Dr. K.Rosaiah cash award for excellence and attendance will also be given to one student.

Fee Structure, Bank Loan Assistance The Fee structure for the entire Programme shall be as mentioned in Admission Application form.

While recognizing the need for financial support to facilitate such quality education, we provide all necessary assistance that would enable the student to receive educational loans from the nationalized and other banks.

Award of MBA Degrees The Master of Business Administration Degrees in International Business, International Banking & Finance and Global Logistics & Supply Chain Management will be awarded to students on satisfactory completion of all the courses and requirements as per the criteria laid down.

Curriculum We realize that global competitiveness is a prerequisite even for competitiveness in domestic markets. The Programme provides foundation in the basic management courses in the first two trimesters and focuses on in-depth training in conceptual and practical aspects of the subjects relating to International Business, International Banking & Finance

and Global Logistics & Supply Chain Management in the third, fourth and fifth trimesters. The students undergo internship with business organizations for 8 weeks. The sixth trimester is devoted to advanced courses and Research Project / Business Plan with particular emphasis on practical application and self-study under the guidance of the faculty. The student will have a choice of two electives or Research Project / Business Plan with one elective.

Pedagogy The teaching methodology is practical, hands-on and real-time, rather than merely theoretical. At every stage of the learning process, interface with the industry, interaction with practicing professionals and internship with Corporates is given precedence. Students are required to attend periodic seminars, symposia, workshops and trade fairs that can provide a far more comprehensive view of ground realities than any textbook can. This naturally gives our students the ‘knowledge plus experience’ edge making them the first choice of prestigious Corporates.

MBA (International Banking & Finance)

De-regulation and Liberalization of financial markets of the developed world, followed by the emerging economies, during the past three decades, has brought in an era of cross border capital flows leveraged by IT, volatility, Euro Currency and Derivatives. This created a need for a more equipped professional in the area of banking and finance, wherein the existing courses, with the prime focus on domestic markets and traditional banking systems, were absolutely inadequate.This has necessitated the requirement of a course in International Banking and Finance addressing the most contemporary issues of the banking and financial services industry. The recent collapse of the US and Global markets has triggered the need for the second phase of reforms in the academic input of such courses. With the increasing global debate on the manifestations of the ruthless Capitalism and the supremacy of the US financial system has brought Risk Management, Global Surveillance, Ethical Banking, Financial Prudence and Financial Inclusion to the main stage.

The Two Year MBA (IBF) has considered these changing needs and the future requirements of the industry in designing the most contemporary curriculum for the course,benchmarketing with the best of the course of its kind.

ObjectivesThe Programme seeks to achieve the following objectives:

To enable the students to become effective Banking Professionals in the International •Banking and Finance area in today’s globally competitive environment;

To vest them with special skills to work in the area of international banking and finance;•

To equip them with the necessary skills for effectively operating in a dynamic multicultural •business environment;

The Centre for Innovation and Entrepreneurship (CIE) believes that national economic growth is propelled by rekindling, maturing and canalizing the innate potential of individuals. CIE realizes that to provide students with such opportunities to develop into successful entrepreneurs, entrepreneurship education plays an important role. Entrepreneurship education is the process of providing individuals with concepts and skills to recognize the opportunities that others have overlooked and to have the insight, self-esteem and knowledge to act where others have hesitated. It includes opportunity recognition, marshalling resources in the face of risk, and initiating a business venture. Keeping this in view, CIE was launched with the following objectives:

To rekindle the dormant entrepreneurial talents in students •by offering initially electives and subsequently full fledged Programmes in small business and entrepreneurship;

To carry out research in international entrepreneurship;•

To train and develop entrepreneurs to enhance their •effectiveness in international business;

To undertake consulting for entrepreneurs in international •business.

To achieve the objective of inculcating entrepreneurship among

its students, CIE offers ‘Small Business & Entrepreneurship’ as a required course. To nurture Entrepreneurship amongst the students, employees and the progeny of business families, CIE designed another three-month course in Global Entrepreneurship which will be offered during the current academic year. The emphasis of course is on the techniques and tools that can be used by new generation of entrepreneurs for launching entrepreneurship careers in International Business. In association with Entrepreneurship Development Institute (EDI), Ahmedabad, the center offers one year distance learning programme in Entrepreneurship for those who wish to become entrepreneurs. The Centre is also actively involved in creating awareness in the society through seminars and workshops. The Center has plans to offer 22 day programme in Entrepreneurship designed by the Ministry of Micro, Small, and Medium Entrepreneurs, Government of India to encourage the technical graduates to take up entrepreneurship as alternative to employment. The Center is planning to associate itself with the Center for Internationalization of Enterprise, Glasgow University Business School, Glasgow, U.K.

Sensitization of students to social issues is one of the objectives of GITAM School of International Business (GSIB) and to make the students socially responsive, the School incorporated Social Project activities in its course work. It is matter of great satisfaction for the School that its approach in social projects has given result in creation of a voluntary social network group, Aptha by its students with a focus to serve the society. Aptha generates funds on its own (by selling old newspapers, souvenirs and by collecting donations from individual members) and uses the funds so collected for distribution of essential items to socially weaker sections in and around the city of Visakhapatnam. The voluntary organization created its own website, www.aptha.co.cc to carry on its activities.

During the year, Aptha conducted various activities at Shanti Ashram, an Ashram for deaf & dumb students. It organized sports activities like Kabaddi, Khokho and Caroms for the inmates of the Ashram. To spur the creative talents of the physically-challenged students, they organized painting (water colour) competitions, creative painting competitions and shown

craft-making and motivational videos. Aptha members also visited an old-age home and spent time with the inmates by various entertainment activities and distributing essential items to the old.

GSIB also carried out two Social Projects on September 14 and 15, 2009 covering nearby three villages with the objective of identifying the villagers who are interested in pursuing/developing small businesses. As the people may do their businesses without general understanding of business processes, the intention of the survey was to identify such aspirants and give them 3 to 6 days training in GSIB to establish small businesses or to improve their existing business. The students also conducted another survey to identify people with diabetes or having the symptoms of diabetes to facilitate such patients to undergo counseling/treatment by Shankar Netralaya, Visakhapatnam. Subsequent to the survey, GSIB conducted a training programme to the villagers who expressed interest to carry out small business activities.

Visakhapatnam, Waltair or Vizag as it is popularly known, is a magical pot pourrie of all things wonderful. Historically, this City derives its name from “Visakha” the monument built in honour of the God of Valour by a Hindu King during the 11th century. Over the years, Vizag has transformed itself form being a sleepy village into a bustling Port City. Located on the East Coast, Vizag is easily accessible by Road, Rail and Air.

It is very well connected to Hyderabad, Chennai and almost all major cities in India. While nature has bestowed its beauty upon Vizag through pristine beaches, verdant valleys, wooded hills, this charming city has progressed well in terms of maritime and industrial activity. It is one of the most peaceful cities in India, and called the city of destiny.

Headquartering the Eastern Naval Command, Vizag also boasts of several prominent industrial establishments like, Vizag Steel Plant, Visakhapatnam Port Trust, Essar Steel, LG Polymers, HPCL, Hindustan Zinc Ltd., Bharat Heavy Plates & Vessels Ltd, Coromandel Fertilizers, Hindustan Shipyard, MPEDA, MSTC, VSEZ, Coir Board and DGFT.

Ushering in further development are the initiatives of the Government of Andhra Pradesh to house a Pharma City (for Bulk Drug Pharmaceuticals), an Apparel Export Park and simultaneously declare Vizag as a Tier II City after Hyderabad for the IT industry.
