Introduction
Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore (founded in 1909) is the oldest and the most reputed centre of post-graduate education and research in science and engineering in the country. Over the years, the Institute has gained international recognition for the quality of its teaching and its R&D achievements. The Centre for Scientific and Industrial Consultancy and Society for Innovation and
Development constitute the Institute’s interface with industry, and direct the technical expertise and
entrepreneurial skills of the Institute’s faculty members towards channels useful for the society and industry.
The Institute consultancy strives to help the country achieve her scientific, academic and technological goals,
and is keenly aware of its obligation to maintain the high academic standards it has traditionally adhered to.
Department OF Management Studies
The Department of Management Studies was established at the Institute in 1948 as the Section of Economics and Social Sciences. That makes it the earliest institutional attempt at imparting formal training in the principles and practices of scientific management to young men and women whose services would be required by then fast-expanding industrial sector of the newly independent nation. Flourishing in the intellectual milieu of the Indian Institute of Science, it was but natural for the Department to develop an affinity for a style of learning that combined the attractions of instruction with those of independent exploration of various realms of knowledge. Thus the Department soon acquired a reputation for high-calibre research in areas such as Economics, Marketing, and Energy and Technology Management. The Language Group of the Department aims at catering to the language requirements of the Institute staff and students. Besides teaching, translation and interpretation, this section developed research interest in communication-oriented language teaching, socio-linguistic issues in language use, language for specific purpose, and language choice in scientific communication. Issues in cross-cultural communication are explored through comparative studies of communication patterns in different countries/ societies (Germany and India) and scientific and business communication in EC countries. Currently there are 40 research students working for M.Sc (Engg.) and PhD degrees in frontier areas of management.
Academic Programmes
Academic programmes at the Department of Management Studies include:
Two-year, full-time M.B.A. open only to engineering graduates.
M.Sc.(Engg.) and Ph.D. programs for full-time, QIP, and external registration candidates.
Research And Consultancy
The members of the Department Faculty conduct research in Human Resource Management, Technology Management, Marketing, Energy Management, Transportation, Operations Research, Operations Management, Finance, Supply Chain Management, Decision Support Systems, Industrial Economics, Cross Cultural Communications, and German Language and Didactics. The Department undertakes consultancy projects and case development in business planning, marketing strategy, reengineering, human resource development, technology management, e-commerce, and decision support systems.
Management Development Programmes
The Department conducts in-company as well as on-campus Management Development Programmes. Capacity-building for Competitive Advantage, Leadership at the Work Place, Trade Union Leadership Development, and Strategic Management of Technology are examples of such courses offered recently.
Seminars And Conferences
The Department organizes seminars by experts every Friday. These seminars give an opportunity to the students to listen and interact with the leaders in industry and academics.
The Department also conducts an annual event titled Consortium of Students of Management Research (COSMAR). This provides a forum for research in management and allied disciplines from leading institutions in the country to interact with our research students, industry professionals, and leading academics.
Facilities
Institute offers an excellent academic and residential infrastructure. It has JRD Library with more than 400,000 volumes, Digital Library with CD-ROM facilities, National Centre for Science Information, electronic access to more than 2,500 Journals, and offers round the clock access to high power computers that support database systems, multimedia graphics and visualization applications, and Web services. A campus-wide FDDI network hook-up from Department also exists.

MBA Programme
The MBA programme is a two-year full time postgraduate course. The major objective of the program is to enable graduate engineers to grow into competent, responsible and creative managers for technology-intensive global business.
Technology- intensive business organizations produce and market high technology products and/or services globally and integrate all their business functions using information technology tools. These organizations require leaders who understand the administrative and technological dimensions of modern business. Future managers should be able to foresee the forces shaping the global business environment, assess threats and opportunities inherent in that environment, and chart a course of “responsible progress” for their organization. The managers of the new millennium should be able to employ sophisticated quantitative tools in analyzing, understanding, and directing business processes. At the same time, they should nurture and value their innate intuitive skills, imagination, ability to empathize, and capacity to combine wisdom with the results of individual observation and reflection. Our MBA programme is designed and implemented with this vision.
