B-schools catching up with emeging SME sector
The SME (Small and Medium Enterprises) sector, which has witnessed rapid growth in recent years, has been drawing attention from every possible quarter - global businesses eyeing India and private equity firms et al -, is now at the centre of focus for business institutions who see an opportunity to hawk short-term courses to this segment.Institutes such as IIMs, ISB and IIFT have rolled out courses and modules aimed at small and medium businesses. Existing programs are also suitably modified for the changing needs of this segment.
ISB is the latest to offer training for professionals in the sector. The business school has launched three-day workshop in three cities - Delhi, Mumbai and Chennai - starting in June (details). The programme, titled "The Global Growth Entrepreneurship Programme", is targeted at senior executives from SMEs in industries that are poised for growth like auto components, textiles, food processing, pharmaceuticals, chemicals and engineering. "The SME sector is witnessing huge growth and there is immense scope for executice training programmes here. Though there are similar programmes available, we will try and differentiate on the content. Trying to understand the global impact on SMEs is one such efforts", says Deepak Chandra, Assistant Dean, ISB's Centre for Executive Education.
