IIM Indore and Emeritus Launch Executive Programme in Business Management

MUMBAI:
The future of business demands leaders who can harness emerging technologies, navigate uncertainty, and drive strategic decision-making. As high-performing professionals and managers aspire to senior decision-making roles, they must develop a unique blend of business acumen, digital savvy, and leadership expertise. To meet these evolving skill requirements, the Indian Institute of Management Indore (IIMI), ranked 8th by the Ministry of Education’s NIRF 2024, in collaboration with Emeritus, has launched an Executive Programme in Business Management.

Over 85% of organisations identify the adoption of new technologies and broadening digital access as key drivers of transformation, alongside the growing emphasis on ESG standards as per the World Economic Forum’s Future of Jobs Report 2023. It further states the growing emphasis on workforce development as a shared responsibility among employees and management. These data clearly indicate the need for leaders who can approach business challenges from a holistic perspective and are able to balance short-term goals with long-term vision.
