Highlights The Faculty Development Programme (FDP) of the Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad, India (IIMA) aims at the professional development of faculty members of institutions of management education. It is a residential programme that provides rigorous training in general management principles, pedagogical techniques (including case method), cutting-edge research methods and advanced topics in specialized areas. The first FDP was offered in 1979. Over the years, the FDP has developed a strong reputation for excellence in the professional development of management educators. The FDP relies on a variety of learning settings like classrooms, workshops and seminars, and a participatory approach to learning. There is an emphasis on the case method of teaching and learning. Other educational methods such as lectures, group-exercises, management games, and presentations are also used. Computers, statistical tools and audio-visual aids complement these methods. Participants are encouraged to develop insights into curriculum planning and academic administration. The FDP requires a high level of effort from the participants in terms of individual preparation as well as working in groups. Participants take away more than just class-room related experiences as they explore the campus and interact with people from diverse backgrounds. Participants usually get a chance to visit industrial locations, attend research seminars, special guest lectures and participate in other extra-curricular activities. Participants are highly encouraged to take initiative towards developing their own cases or research proposals.
Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad (IIMA), was established in 1961, as an autonomous institution by the Govt. of India in collaboration with the Govt. of Gujarat and Indian Industry. Dr. Vikram Sarabhai, a noted scientist and industrialist, other Ahmedabad-based industrialists (led by Mr. Kasturbhai Lalbhai), and the Govt. of Gujarat played a major role in the creation of the Institute.
Rated as India’s best and Asia’s foremost business school, IIMA continues to be ranked as one of the finest institutions in the world having an academic rigour that matches the top league. IIMA became the first Business School in India to receive the EQUIS (European Quality Improvement System) accreditation by the European Foundation for Management Development which has subsequently been renewed in 2012. With a distinguished faculty, an exceptional student- faculty ratio, and a 100-acre world class campus conducive to continuous learning, IIMA is an Institute that sets international standards in the field of management education.
