This hands-on approach nurtures essential skills such as problem-solving, decision-making, and critical thinking, all crucial for success in today’s corporate world.
Throughout their two-year management program, each IBS student navigates through approximately 270 case studies. Students specializing in marketing handle around 290 cases, while those in Operations, HR, and Finance cover about 260 cases each. This extensive case study exposure ensures students develop a deep understanding of diverse business challenges.
