The ISB's contract with Wharton extended

The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania has announced the renewal of its association with the Indian School of Business (ISB) in Hyderabad, India for five more years. The initial success of this association between Wharton and ISB prompted its renewal as well as the launch of an ISB-Wharton Joint Research Initiative that will encourage joint research between Wharton and ISB faculty, including curriculum development.

ISB Dean M. Rammohan Rao stated, "ISB has benefited a great deal from its association with Wharton especially in designing our curriculum and in getting the active support of leading faculty members. I look forward to their continued participation and guidance and hope that together we will be able to develop a substantial body of research materials pertaining to Asian businesses."

As part of this renewed relationship, Wharton faculty will continue to have opportunities to teach in the post graduate ISB program and executive education courses; contribute to the curriculum development, assist ISB in the development of course reading and case materials to be used in the post graduate curriculum; and help initiate a faculty development program for ISB faculty. ISB will endeavor to serve as an active platform for supporting increased exposure in Asian business issues for Wharton; assist Wharton in the development of course materials relevant to the region; and sponsor collaborative research between ISB faculty and Wharton.
