IIM-A was established in 1961 as an autonomous Institution by the Government of India in collaboration with the Government of Gujarat and the Indian Industry. IIM-A was registered as a society with a Board of Governors to oversee the functioning of the Institute. The Board has representatives from the Governments of India and Gujarat, the Industry, the IIM-A Society, the IIM-A faculty, etc IIM-A was conceived not to be purely a business school, but a school of management. It's mission is to professionalise Indian management through teaching, research, training, institution building and consulting. It also aims to professionalise some of the vital sectors of India's economy such as agriculture, education, health, transportation, population control, energy, and public administration. In its formative years, IIM-A collaborated with the Harvard Business School (HBS). Largely as a consequence of this collaboration, IIM-A pioneered the case method of teaching in India. Not only did IIM-A adopt a distinct pedagogy, its architecture also took a distinctive form. Louis Kahn, a well-known American architect, conceived the design: a blend of austerity and majesty; spaces for casual interaction; frequently changing perspectives; a balance between modernity and tradition that captures the spirit of contemporary India. It was evident that to have a vision was not enough. Effective governance and quality education were seen as critical aspects. From the very start the founders introduced the concept of faculty governance: all members of the faculty play an important role in administering the diverse academic and non-academic activities of the Institute. The empowerment of the faculty has been the propelling force behind the high quality of learning experience at IIMA. The Institute had initial collaboration with Harvard Business School. This collaboration greatly influenced the Institute’s approach to education. Gradually it emerged as a confluence of the best of Eastern and Western values. Latest About IIMAMy column last month on inflation and monetary policy provoked more response than usual, no doubt because of the heatedness of the debate, rather than any one thing I wrote. With some of the heat having subsided, this is a good time to revisit some of the issues. This is important since the long run [...]
