Mumbai, June 20: The Indian School of Business (ISB) on Monday announced a leading-edge general management curriculum with a focus on t-commerce, entrepreneurship, and managing in fast evolving and emerging environments. This is in line with its vision to groom future business leaders, says a press release.

The curriculum will be strongly complemented by extensive corporate interaction and wide-ranging international exposure. According to ISB chairman Rajat Gupta: ``One tremendous advantage of being a brand new school is the opportunity to leapfrog existing programmes and create a forward-looking curriculum that addresses the needs of future business leaders. The ISB curriculum is a blue-print for molding business leaders who thrive on change.''

The curriculum has been developed by ISB's International Academic Council comprising reputed faculty from well-known business schools around the world, like the Wharton School, Kellogg Graduate School of Management, Harvard Business School, Graduate School of Business at Stanford and the University of Chicago.

The new logo of ISB, which reflects the founding vision of ISB as an institution that fosters freedom of thought, operates in a global arena and strives to transcend traditional boundaries, was also unveiled. In addition to offering specializations in strategic marketing and analytical finance, ISB will offer wide-ranging international exposure to all its students to ensure that ISB graduates can manage successfully in different environments around the world.

ISB will offer two programmes initially: a one year post-graduate management programme for qualified students with two to five years' work experience and specially designed programmes in executive education and development.
