INDIAN INSTITUTE
OF MANAGEMENT LUCKNOW
POST-GRADUATE
PROGRAMME IN SUSTAINABLE MANAGEMENT ADMISSION NOTICE 2013-2014
Background
In
the last two decades increased awareness about environmental degradation,
global warming, climate change, and socio-economic implications of
ever-increasing corporate power have brought about a radical shift in business
paradigm in India. Evolution of voluntary norms and proactive steps taken by
some industry associations have brought Sustainability agenda to the fore front
of business strategy and businesses are increasingly aligning their vision with
national and global Sustainable Development objectives. Increased pace of
industrialization all over the world, and especially in the developing
countries, has resulted in unprecedented demand for natural resources, most of
which are non-renewable in nature. It is a matter of concern that in the name
of industrial development, communities dependent on these resources are being
deprived of their only source of livelihood.
In
the changed business environment, businesses have to deal with a wide range of stakeholders
that have dynamically evolving, diverse, and oftentimes, conflicting demands
and expectations from businesses. This complicates the business managers’ job
and heightens the need to understand and appreciate the expectations of all
their stakeholders and behave in a socially responsible manner. At the same
time, Indian public policies too are undergoing radical transformations to meet
the changing developmental needs of the country, including that of the
businesses. To run their businesses in a sustainable manner, managers would
also need to keep abreast of transformations in the regulatory frameworks and
keep in line with policy requirements.
Achieving
growth and prosperity without adding to the stress on global environment is a critical
issue facing today’s business and society. Sustainability issues are dictating
corporate decisions and there is a demand for MBA graduates who understand how
to incorporate such issues into the decision making process. As companies try
to understand, evaluate and take action on issues that can affect their triple
bottom line, they are now seeking qualified individuals who understand the
societal, environmental and business components of sustainability.IIM Lucknow,
fully understanding the need to produce such experts, has taken the timely
initiative to launch a Postgraduate Programme in Sustainable Management(PGPSM)
at its Noida campus.
