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.
