London Business School Presents Sustainable Globalisation
LONDON, Sept. 16 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --
- Special Lectures in New Delhi and Mumbai
Professor Sir Andrew Likierman, Dean of London Business School[1], will
lead two special lectures at the Taj Mahal Hotel in New Delhi on Tuesday 21st
September and the Taj Mahal Palace Hotel in Mumbai on Thursday 23rd

Leading a delegation of professors from the School's accounting,
economics, finance, marketing, strategic management and organisational
behaviour faculty, Sir Andrew will give the inaugural address at these two
one-day conferences which will discuss the topics of Strategies for
Sustainable Growth and Building Global Business Capability[2], respectively.
London Business School, which is ranked number one in the world for its
full-time MBA programme (Financial Times 2010), was a founding partner of the
Indian School of Business (ISB) located in Hyderabad and was also one of the
first top business schools in the world to have a dedicated India centre (the
Aditya Birla India Centre).
Commenting on his visit, Sir Andrew said, "London Business School has
very special bonds with India through our faculty, staff, alumni and
students. Nearly 10% of our student body and 6% of our core faculty are of
Indian nationality or origin.
"Many of our faculty members are actively engaged in research and
consulting with Indian companies and our alumni network in India continues to
grow and actively participate in the success of the School via strong
representation on our Global Advisory Council.
"This event will celebrate these connections, and also serve to
strengthen them. The leaders of Indian industry, our alumni, friends of the
School and our faculty will come together to explore the complexities facing
both business and society as India steadily globalises."
