Planning to collaborate with universities in Singapore and Philippines for joint
research
All India Management Association (AIMA), the apex body of
the management profession in India, is planning to collaborate with universities
in Singapore and Philippines for joint research, workshops and management development
programs.
Newly-appointed president of AIMA, Rajiv Vastupal, said, "My focus during 2011-12
would be primarily on strengthening the international linkages of AIMA and joint
memberships. We would also like to enhance the scope of business simulation programs
and strengthen local management associations."
It is after 20 years that a president of Gujarat origin has been elected at AIMA.
Vastupal, who is CMD of Rajiv Petrochemicals, has been the president of Ahmedabad
Management Association.
AIMA announced the launch of its first computer-based Management Aptitude and Skills
Test (MAST) on Monday. The test, to be taken by a student while exiting a business
school, has been developed in consultation with the human resource division of leading
companies like Nokia, Maruti Suzuki, Max India and Moser Baer.
