IIM-B Director Professor G Raghuram said that the the India-Japan Study Centre was established to learn best practices from Japan. “The Business and Operations Management–Japan programme has been designed keeping in mind the mission of the India-Japan Study centre — that is, to enhance economic understanding between the two countries through research, teaching and policy outreach efforts,” he said.
The programme aims to attract applications from a highly competent pool of aspirants from various sections of the industry. In particular, executives working in Japanese companies in India, and executives from Indian companies with a focus on Japan will benefit from this programme.
