Dean Message:
Global Economic environment as well as economic environment in India is witnessing spectacular changes. In particular India’s services sector in terms of its contribution to GDP growth and also in terms of its share in the international business is remarkable. It is increasingly realized that the knowledge based society is absolutely necessary for rapid economic development. The global playing field is being levelled by the technological revolution and paradigm shift in the policy regime all over the world.

The forces of tradition, culture and commitments to preserve national identity have caused the regime change in the corporate approach to international business. Multinational companies are trying to widen their mission and role. In consequence, “They think global and act local”. In short, appropriate knowledge, skill and attitude have emerged as significant driving forces in the present context of globalization and liberalization. In response to the above mentioned changes, Lala Lajpatrai Institute of Management (LLIM) maintains a fine balance between high academic quality and professional relevance provided by close interaction with the corporate world.

A strong interface with the world of business is therefore, as much a requirement as a strong growth potential.

Attempts are being made to groom young minds to be dynamic, flexible and adaptable to changing business environment.

Students are the assets of our Institute. We believe that it is our responsibility to mould them in such a way that they become the assets of the Industry. Our students are future managers. Keeping this in mind, the students of our Institute are trained right from day one to tackle any difficult situation that they are likely to face in the future.The Institute believes that a self learning attitude of the students is the key to success. Thus, we aim at developing a self learning attitude among our students rather than restricting their thoughts. This self learning attitude when coupled with theoretical knowledge helps the students to think and come out with innovative solutions thereby achieving our objects of providing the industry with our assets that would lead to their success. Following techniques are used to improve the skills of our students.

CASE STUDIES
The case study method is used to apply theory to real-life situations and to solve real problems. Through this method, students learn to be in real situations, make decisions, deal with consequences of those decisions, and learn from real mistakes. Nothing will ever replace learning from experience. The Cases (which involve real situations although names may be changed) allow the students to “simulate” real life situations when they don’t have the luxury of having years of experience. Management students use case problems and experiential exercises as “Laboratory” opportunities to experiment with real organizations in the class room settings.

He emphasizes that “The golden rule is to never compromise on quality.” Dr. Gupta being closely associated with the Institute is a live force for incessantly inspiring the students to learn. He believes that there is no age gap on learning and acquiring Knowledge and Dr. Kamal Gupta himself strengthens this belief.

Thus, he sets a fine example for students and staff of the Institute in terms of the constant self-motivation that he imbibes to learn, encourage and inspire.
