Currency symbols structure the world’s economic eco-system and signify local ethos and
understanding. Often, they are the most powerful symbols of economic power, the new
Rupee symbol for instance. India is one of the fastest growing economies and close to being
an economic super-power. Her new currency symbol is a testimony of history in the making.
What must support this emergence is management competence that is globally aligned.
Quite like the GSIB manager. Trained in varied faculties of international trade, logistics and
banking. And equipped to see the world as his/her natural office. His/Her evolved aptitude is
seamlessly relevant across the borders; complementing the new global position of India.

GENESIS
The two-year programme of International Business at GITAM University is the flagship
programme of erstwhile GITAM Institute of Foreign Trade (GIFT). The Programme has
become popular throughout the country. Every year students are admitted on an average
from 20 states, and they are successfully placed in Industry in India and abroad. In
order to promote International Business further, two more Programmes are started in
International Banking and Finance, and Global Logistics and Supply Chain Management.

With a view to enrich the three Programmes further, initiatives are made to increase the number of tie-ups with B-Schools abroad
for faculty-student exchange Programmes and collaborative research. The School is in dialogue with Hanze University, Groningen, the
Netherlands; and Glasgow University, Glasgow for possible tie-ups for student and faculty exchange programmes and collaborative
research. These are in addition to our existing tie-ups with Burgundy School of Business, Dijon France, and International University
of Paris, Paris.

include research, executive education, and consultancy. Slowly, but steadily,
the School is internationalizing its faculty, students, and activities which is
quintessential for a truly international business school.
The location of the School within a serene and green campus with stunning

Markets have emerged as the most powerful “Institution” both for creating and conscripting the wealth of nations in the 21st
century. The current Financial Meltdown has spiked the world economy. But there is no point in brawling on the limitations of the
markets. Some financial greed, somewhere, can bring down the world economy as experienced in the 1930s. This is bound to happen
over long lengths of time when large and discontinuous systems, like the economic system, suddenly change due to stress build–up.
The only way out is to better understand the financial deteriorations, the economic imbalances and the discontinuities in the world
economic activity. Thus, there is a great need to rethinking and reinventing of the future and this necessitates reinventing of the
markets, financial competition, leadership and principles.
Our two-year MBA Programmes in International Business (IB), International Banking and Finance (IBF), Global Logistics and Supply
Chain Management (GLSCM) enables the students to ride through the ‘learning curve’ on all those aspects mentioned above. The
Programme design is rooted in the real world of innovative management practices, using an optimal combination of lectures, case
studies and assignments as the pedagogy. Strong emphasis is laid on participative learning. We have always strived continuously
to race with the best. Our MBA Programmes are differentiated by building innovative practices, developing curriculum that address
the needs of industry that aspire for global standards. This has laid to attract better quality standards, teachers and recruiters into
our fold.
The first year of our Programme devotes sufficient time to equip the students with all those general management skills in economics,
finance, marketing, international trade logistics, supply chain management and human resource as they are essential for any general
managerial decision making. The second year of the Programme is distinctly designed to gain expertise in the area of International
Business, International Banking and Finance and Global Logistics and Supply Chain Management. Other important features of our
programme are: (i) A two-week pre-preparatory intensive coaching is given to train the non-finance students in finance, economics,
accounting, quantitative techniques, case method, etc so that students can start studying on a level-playing field: (ii) Besides our
own internationally experienced faculty from academics and the industry, we draw on the expertise of the IIM’s and other reputed
management institutes as guest (visiting) faculty. Also our students are sensitized to the social environment through social projects
in the second year.
We believe that management students should be exposed to the practical world for which an initiative has been made in this direction
by signing MoUs with Intelli Group, HDFC and other industries where our students would be drawn from these companies through an
experiential learning which would be offered by these companies to suit to the requirement of the standards. The institute is striving
to have many such MoUs in the days to come so as to build the competencies of the student population so as to make them ideally
fit for the market opportunities that exists in this globalised markets.
We believe that students cannot appreciate the complexity of markets functioning in other parts of the world by taking courses here
in India. They should experience it to believe it and understand. Precisely with this in view, our Institute has arranged tie-ups with
Burgundy School of Business, Dijon, Paris, University of Paris, Paris and other business schools in Europe for students as part of the
Exchange Programme from the IV Trimester onwards. We would like to use these tie-ups also to arrange for their summer projects
and research projects in Europe.
All these would enrich the students to face the world of business with a globally integrated mindset.
I welcome the students and promise to offer the best.
With Good Wishes

COMPETENCIES
The twenty-first century is about change, very rapid change.
The world now changes more in a decade than it once did
in a millennium. Such an exponential change means an
unprecedented rate of obsolescence of almost every thing
we teach and learn. The mantra for survival and growth is
adaptation to change. We understand this most important
urgent need. A look at our dynamic approach in the pursuit
of excellence, be it in our curriculum development, teaching
and learning methodologies, and executive management

Global Logistics & Supply Chain Management have become the driving force for any organization to improve its efficiency and
effectiveness in the global and highly competitive environment of the twenty-first century. It has two crucial functions, viz. the
Physical function, concerned with production, storage and transportation, and the Market Mediation function, concerned with
ensuring that variety of products reaches the market place, match with the customer’s expectations. Effective execution of these
functions necessitates the implementation of several key processes such as a seamless manufacturing and logistics process,
a dynamic new product development process, and a support and service process. It is equally important to understand key
customer service criteria, define global performance metrics, benchmark the supply chain to uncover the best practices, and
use decision support tools for optimal network design and management.
The Two Year MBA (Global Logistics and Supply Chain Management) has considered the above needs and the future requirements
of the industry in designing the most contemporary curriculum for the course, benchmarking with the best of its kind.
Objectives
The programme seeks to achieve the following objectives:

“City of Destiny” Visakhapatnam
Visakhapatnam, Waltair or Vizag as it is popularly known, is a magical pot pourrie of all things wonderful. Historically, this City derives
its name from “Visakha” the monument built in honour of the God of Valour by a Hindu King during the 11th century. Over the years,
Vizag has transformed itself form being a sleepy village into a bustling Port City. Located on the East Coast, Vizag is easily accessible
by Road, Rail and Air.
It is very well connected to Hyderabad, Chennai and almost all major cities in India. While nature has bestowed its beauty upon Vizag
through pristine beaches, verdant valleys, wooded hills, this charming city has progressed well in terms of maritime and industrial
activity. It is one of the most peaceful cities in India, and called the city of destiny.
Headquartering the Eastern Naval Command, Vizag also boasts of several prominent industrial establishments like, Vizag Steel Plant,
Visakhapatnam Port Trust, Essar Steel, LG Polymers, HPCL, Hindustan Zinc Ltd., Bharat Heavy Plates & Vessels Ltd, Coromandel
Fertilizers, Hindustan Shipyard, MPEDA, MSTC, VSEZ, Coir Board and DGFT.
Ushering in further development are the initiatives of the Government of Andhra Pradesh to house a Pharma City (for Bulk Drug
Pharmaceuticals), an Apparel Export Park and simultaneously declare Vizag as a Tier II City after Hyderabad for the IT industry.
