The Indian Institute of Management (IIM) Raipur and Birmingham City University (BCU) have collaborated to launch an elective course “Bringing Humanities and Innovation Management and Creative Entrepreneurial Leadership.” This groundbreaking course is offered jointly by Prof Mrunal Chavda, Assistant Professor of Humanities and Liberal Arts, IIM Raipur, and Prof Shishank, BCU.
This course is a result of a joint research grant funded by the British Council (India) to both institutions, the IIM said in a press relese. The grant aims to support industry-academic collaboration for a more joined-up approach, leading to excellence in higher education, a work-ready workforce, and quality research outputs for the benefit of both industry and academia. It aims to bridge the gap between traditional management education and the creative, human-centric approach needed to lead in the modern, innovation-driven business environment.
The course has been designed to equip participants with the skills necessary to navigate the complexities of international management while fostering an environment that encourages creativity and innovation.
“Both institutions will aim to catalyze industry-academia partnerships that will allow academia and industry to work in sync, prepare a work-ready workforce, reduce on-the-job training costs, and make learners more employable. The course aims to build stronger, more inclusive, industry-connected higher education systems that support global development impacts,” the official press release stated.
The lecture took place on May 27, 2024, at IIM Raipur during the campus immersion phase of the programme. A special lecture will be delivered by Dr Sara Gracy, Senior Lecturer in Leadership and HRM at BCU, as part of the EPGP Batch B3 elective course. Dr Gracy will address the integration of humanities with innovation management to cultivate creative entrepreneurial leaders. Her lecture will explore the dynamic relationship between leadership and organizational behaviour, emphasizing the importance of diversity, equality, and inclusion in the public sector, the IIM said.
