The Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad (IIM-A) is soon going to launch its refurbished Faculty Development Programme (FDP) on 9 June 2014.
The 36th rendition of the programme has been strengthened in research methodology this year, keeping in mind the need for building such skills in the management faculty of the country. The specialisation part of FDP is also significantly strengthened this year.
The programme will provide specialised course work in Finance, Marketing and Organisation Behaviour and Industrial Relations in addition to the available basic general management module.
The key objective of the programme is to upgrade the teaching, training, and research skills of management teachers. So far a total of 703 faculty members have completed their FDP at IIM-A. The programme attracted number of participants from other countries such as Nepal, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Maldives, Ethiopia and Sri Lanka.
