The University of Chester has partnered with one of the most prominent business schools in India to tackle global challenges.
Prominent members of the university’s own business school attended an international conclave event in London organised by the Indian Institute of Management Kozhikode (IIMK). Among the topics under discussion were the importance of traditional Indian teachings in the modern globalised world. Chairing sessions and presenting papers from the event were Associate Professor and Associate Dean Alex Fenton, the leader for the MSc Innovation and Entrepreneurship programme Athalia Dangerfield, and the leader for the MSc Health Service Management programme Vina Mistry.
IIMK was set up by the Indian Government in 1996 and is now one of the country’s best management institutes. The event cemented the links between the two institutions, and they will now work more closely to share knowledge, ideas and research aimed at tackling the challenges faced by the world.
Associate Professor and Dean of the Business School at Chester, Kirstie Simpson, said:
“My research has been focused on Net Zero and enhancing employment opportunities within the industrial decarbonisation supply chain in the North West. The collaboration with IIMK is a wonderful example of how sustainability and Indian management thinking can help the world grow for the good of everyone, in the coming decades.”
