Many
of today’s largest, most dynamic and innovative
companies are emerging from India.
As in other rapidly developing economies, there are
obvious Indian examples of these new global forces
from traditional as well as high-tech manufacturing
sectors (e.g. Biocon, Mittal Steel, Suzlan, TATA Motors,.
. etc.). However, it is India’s role as a path
breaker of the globalization of services – represented
by firms like Infosys, Reliance and Wipro –
which makes India uniquely important and which lead
to TRIUM’s move from Brazil to India.
Curriculum
developments correspond to the move to India. Two
new courses will take build on our new location. The
first, ‘New Global Contenders’ will explore
the strategic and leadership implications of the rise
of global companies from rapidly developing economies,
with special reference to Indian firms. The second,
‘Using Technology to Create Strategic Options’
will explore the implications of certain types of
hardware, software, and telecom developments on the
ways that organizations think about competitors, strategy,
organizational design, outsourcing and the nature
of management. As always, these formal courses will
be supplemented by company visits and guest speakers.
In
addition to the more purely economic and business
topics, India also is a particularly rich environment
to explore the socio-political dimensions of the TRIUM
curriculum. Issues of corporate social responsibility
and the role and responsibility of global firms emerging
from developing economies will be a focus of many
of the sessions. Questions we will address include:
Do Indian multinationals have a different set of responsibilities
than their competitors from other countries? What
does development mean in the context of India? Is
India’s democratic system a hindrance to development,
or evidence of development of a different type?
The
blending of these socio-political questions with in
depth business analysis of the implication of the
next phases of globalization, are an excellent example
of TRIUM’s philosophy and promise to make the
new ‘India Module’ an exciting addition
our global EMBA program.

5 Course Summary
Using Technology To Create Strategic Options In the
21st Century
It is increasingly impossible to imagine any business
being able to execute its strategy without the capabilities
of advanced digital technologies. Increasingly understanding
the strategic options that new technologies provide
to a business is one of the key skills that a general
manager must possess in today’s corporations.
Understanding the strategic capabilities of technology
and the options they generate is the primary focus
of this course.
New Global Challengers
Major companies emerging from rapidly developing economies
are starting to have a dramatic impact on the competitive
landscape of the global marketplace. This course will
examine this next wave of globalization and how it
will impact the way businesses compete in the 21st
Century.
Negotiation Analysis
Examines negotiation analysis and practice. Insights
from economics, psychology and decision sciences will
be covered. The course uses simulations, case studies
and group discussion to highlight practical applications
of the issues discussed. By the end of the course,
participants will have a conceptual framework which
will help them turn their own negotiating experience
into expertise.
