The GIBS Association with Google & Microsoft for Certification Programs

Educational institutions, administrative and social organizations and businesses today are not islands, standing splendidly alone in the vast ocean. Rather, like continents, they need to join hands and progress together. Global communication and the removal of national and trade barriers have made it all possible. When a car is assembled in India, the different parts are imported from several countries. Manufactured goods in India like textiles and leather are exported to several countries.

The business management courses at GIBS would not be complete without collaboration with many entities, individuals, companies, and organizations. Several major companies regularly seek placements among GIBS graduates and postgraduates. The GIBS courses like MBA and PGDM are in great demand as producing capable business managers who can withstand competition on an international footing. BBA and BCOM also teach the basics and provide openings at lower levels.

In the intensely digital world of which we are all a part, no study would be complete without the partnership of Google and Microsoft, companies that have changed the way the world thinks and works, communicates and studies!

Global Institute of Business Studies maintains links with several foreign institutions besides some faculty members that originate in several foreign countries. Boys and girls from abroad are students in the Bannerghatta campus in Bangalore too. Foreign tours take students on a merry ride that results in a lot of real-life learning through an amalgamation of cultures. Bridge building is certainly the way of the present and the future after the world has opened up via communication and transport, media and the internet. Music, movies and global magazines have made a rich difference and molded a society that believes in multicultural values.

Traditional cultures may be at risk

Some people live in fear that the spread of international values would erode the local lifestyle. That appears to be true to some extent. The BREXIT and the Trump policy indicate that England and America do not want to play a wide role in international affairs and fight wars abroad. Rather, they wish to ensure that their own countries, economies, and people are doing well. What would you think? While indigenous cultures need to be protected just like we wish to protect nature and the planet for future generations, it is true that the winds of change blow freely and promote an intermingling of cultures.

The role of technological giants in development

The digital development that brought a large-scale overhaul in every field is largely due to mighty companies like Google and Microsoft along with certain others. Like mighty forces of nature, they swept everything and transformed it not on the path of destruction but promoted positive development and brought light into the darkness. Would a curriculum in media, communication, app, and software development, education and management be complete without the study of the Google and Microsoft wonders? Each town and city across the world nowadays depends heavily upon the digital wonders for marketing online and promotion of education and awareness, entertainment and social media.

Google/Microsoft Certifications at GIBS

Google and Microsoft courses are available online for several areas like education and some courses come for free. It is obvious that these are companies with a heart and soul, and development of the backward areas form an important agenda.  As compared to the 1990s when the internet initially spread, facilities were expensive and equipment was very costly. As compared to then, 25 years later, the reduced costs and easy accessibility has done wonders in educating and empowering people, especially in remote regions. With software and app development training, nobody is left without a job in the globally rich information and communication industry.

Bangalore has been the leader among Indian cities in generating mega revenues for the national economy from the software exports with numerous foreign companies setting up branches here. It is a matter of prestige that professionals from all over the country live and work in Bangalore in the IT industry, particularly in software parks like Electronic City, a conglomerate of global giants.

GIBS stresses the Microsoft and Google culture that nowadays provides the inspiration to millions of young men and women embarking on business management careers. Even basic communication nowadays depends upon software used in millions of computers across the world. The applications of software to accommodate screens of all sizes are too many and support business and education, health and hospitality, engineering and architecture, to name a few important ones. The mighty online retail industry depends heavily upon such software apps.

Whether it is the Digital Marketing and Android development of Google or the ERP and Excel of Microsoft, they are essential features of the present and future professional life of business managers. By including such certifications, GIBS has succeeded in improving the professional competencies of the eager boys and girls and helped them grow wings in the digital world.
