Our Vision Develop FMS as a world-class university based institution of academic excellence and thought leadership in management education.

What is it that differentiates an excellent business leader from a good one? It is the zeal, the passion, the commitment to consistently strive to raise the bar. It is about competing not just with one's peers, but also with oneself. It is about challenging assumptions, of outdoing one excellent performance with a superior one. It is about a rare degree of conviction towards one's capabilities, an unwavering faith in one's values, a relentless pursuit of perfection and a tacit contract of symbiosis with one's environment. When FMS looks back at its heritage spanning more than 50 years, it is this attitude that stands out amidst the laurels of its stalwarts. An attitude that has shaped, encouraged and motivated all the learners. An attitude that has made each participant a performer, time and again. An attitude that has turned challenges into victories. An attitude that is contagious.

An attitude that is Addictive At FMS, we are used to running. Towards matching world-class standards in pedagogy. Towards providing our students one of the best career development facilities. Towards providing the talent pool for a globally competitive Corporate India. Towards creating a better tomorrow for the world. We have left the milestones of excellence and innovation far behind. Today at FMS, we are all running towards perfection. In thought and in practice. Welcome to the new world where change is blinding fast, where running ahead is the only way to keep up, where rapid adaptation is the only way to maintain status quo, where disruptive change is the only change, where innovation is the only way to maintain position, where breakthroughs are the only way towards consolidation. Welcome to FMS. The only school that has been fulfilling everyone's dreams. Since1954.

MBA It takes character, grit, determination, perseverance and focus to champion the business environment for years. MBA, the flagship course at FMS, has achieved this by constantly striving to conquer even higher pinnacles of excellence. In the process, it has set benchmarks for others to emulate in the field of Business Management education. This time-perfected programme gives the learner two years to explore; to be bold, to be creative and to learn as much as you can. Our curriculum rests on two principles: a strong analytical foundation in key functional areas and a high degree of academic flexibility that enables you to handcraft your MBA. The first year introduces the learners to the essential models and tools needed to frame and analyze fundamental management issues that are essential for creation of thought leaders and change managers. In the second year, the learners decide on their professional development plans by reflecting on the first year learnings and summer internship experiences. This assessment is augmented by advisory sessions with faculty and corporate luminaries who share their eclectic experiences with the learner. The programme is located at the North Campus facility of FMS. The intake to this programme is 90 participants (with additional 9 seats for international candidates).

Course Structure MBA has a course structure which is closely aligned with the business requirements in today's scenario. The focus is on producing managers with sound fundamentals who have the ability to hit the ground running when they enter the corporate world; the ability to challenge conventional wisdom by pathbreaking innovations; the ability to execute the most daunting of challenges in the most trying of circumstances; the ability to create synergies amongst the most diverse set of variables; the ability to continuously learn, to improvise, to adapt, to energize, to grow, and to take the world in their stride. Learners here are required to complete 8 core or elective courses or a combination of both in every semester. The first year of the course concentrates on imparting management fundamentals like Human Resources, Organisational Effectiveness & Change, Marketing Management, Financial Management, Quantitative Methods, Computer Applications in Management etc. so that the learner is introduced to the technical, economic, social and human side of management. The Second year continues the momentum by building on these fundamentals and requires focus on chosen specializations by taking courses in the areas of marketing, finance, systems, operations and human resources. Along with these specialization courses, the learner studies business strategy courses which focus on skills that enable managers to diagnose complex business situations and resolve strategic and organizational problems. These courses are supplemented by simulation games which reinforce the classroom teachings and gives hands-on experience to the learners. In addition to these courses, the learner can opt for non-credit courses in each semester subject to the approval of the programme coordinator. The classroom sessions are supplemented by corporate sessions, guest lectures, field sessions, live projects, workshops and many such activities which ensure that the learner remains in touch with the contemporary corporate environment and learns the practical applications of the acquired knowledge.

Intense. Intimate. Inspiring. 5

Flexibility Learners at the MBA programme have the option of customizing their own programmes based on their unique strengths and interests. This is done through their own inference about the shape which they want to lend to the trajectory of their career paths and thus prepare themselves for a successful future. This ensures that the stress of the programme is not on teaching, but on 'learning'!!

We, The People The combination of a flexible curriculum, a wide array of learning opportunities and a conducive academic environment does distinguish this programme from others. However, it's the "People-Factor" which lends this programme a distinctive advantage over all other MBA programmes. Starting from the first fortnight on campus where the learner will be helped in getting acquainted to the people and the place by a series of sessions formulated and coordinated by the second year learners, the amount of learner empowered initiatives keeps on increasing exponentially throughout the year. As much as it's possible to sum up a community, this is FMS: Learners who approach work and play with equal intensity. Who are confident enough to make mistakes. And grounded enough to know that getting to the top is easier and more fun when the journey is shared. It is this drive and enthusiasm that separates us from all others and gives us the winning edge - wherever we go, whatever we do.

Stimulate your Intellect 19

@ FMS Its about the idea Our learning environment is collaborative and without hierarchy. Learners are expected to voice their questions and dissent, whether the idea is presented by a classmate or a professor. This is how our ideas evolve into prosperous business ventures and world-changing practices. Our learning environment embraces a discipline-based approach to the analysis of ideas. Learners learn to evaluate problems and opportunities through the fundamental disciplines that underlie business. This is how our graduates transcend trends and thrive in dynamic markets across all industries. Our learning environment is based on one essential fact: there are neither enough formulas nor business cases to span the range of decisions faced in the course of a career. We prepare our learners with knowledge, a command of the relevant tools, and most important, the ability to decisively think through unique problems and opportunities and the ideas they generate. This is how FMS teaches you to LEAD.

We believe in pushing the boundaries.... We don't believe in resting on our laurels. There is an inherent restlessness, which gives us the impetus to pursue new challenges and a drive that won't let us stop till we accomplish our goals. We were the ones that started the fire and we have the same fire in the belly, that makes us strive for the near impossible. Our endeavor to push the boundary is well reflected across different areas, right from record placements to winning competitions across the country year on year. At FMS, one learns through practical solutions and real time problems. The school has pushes everyone beyond boundaries in terms of leadership. There are so many opportunities to lead, and the school encourages every learner to take those positions.

Complex Problems. Multiple Viewpoints. 20

@ FMS We inculcate thought leadership.... FMS is an incubator of dynamic and visionary leaders of the Corporate World of tomorrow. And that spark is seen in the learners as they walk down the hallways. We are proud to call ourselves dreamers and we applaud new ideas that come from our learners. But we believe in not just thinking new things but thinking them through. After all, there's no better way to learn management than to actually work towards transforming an idea into reality. The classroom experience is designed to teach learners not what to think, but how to think. To open every door in a quest for the best answer. To create a door when none exists. To tap your colleagues for ideas, insights, feedback. To know that the most successful solutions are rarely reached solo. To realize that the best ideas bear many fingerprints.

We get addicted.... It is easy to spot an FMSite in an organization. They are the ones who are visible because of their ability to deliver consistently, from the classrooms to the corporate board rooms. Our success should hardly be a surprise to anyone close to the FMS culture. At a basic level, it is about the intellect to grasp the crux of an issue, the ability to generate ideas for innovative solutions, the focus to coverage on an action plan, the drive to execute that plan and the faith to stand by it. But it is also so much more than that. It is about an ingrained attitude attuned towards discipline, towards team work, towards integrity, towards success. An attitude that is a promise. A way of life. A commitment. An Addiction.

Intense Collaboration. Effective Solutions. 21

Faculty Faculty Information The world renowned faculty at FMS makes learning management a different experience altogether. Few schools can match FMS for its breadth of experience. Our faculty is collaborative and much of our research is interdisciplinary. This comes across in our integrated teaching which helps the learners appreciate how each field links with others. The faculty shares information, elicits responses, spurs dialogue, encourages differences of opinion and debates ideas. They expect their learners to do the same, in the classroom and on their own. This is where ideas compete and people collaborate. Active engagement, informed thought and dynamic teamwork makes the FMS experience unique among its peers. No business background is necessary; all one needs to bring to the table is a willingness to stretch ones mind in new directions.

New Initiatives

The real world isn't quite so textbook. Which is why at FMS, the learners will be part of an environment that encourages interaction and new ways of thinking. They will find a veritable leadership training ground that offers opportunities above and beyond the coursework to enhance their skills. Bridging the gap between the industry and the academia has always been essential to build a strong symbiotic relationship. Towards that end, we at FMS have initiated modules and lectures in partnership with leading industrialists and experts to supplement our current pedagogy.

International Visits Visit to LUMS FMS, the pioneer in management education in India has taken its quest for excellence and innovation across national boundaries by forging a relationship with the Lahore University of Management Sciences, Pakistan. The students from FMS who went to Pakistan stayed at the LUMS campus itself, and attended classes just like any other regular student. The aim of the visit was to give the students a holistic experience, rather than a solely academic one. The students soaked in the culture of Lahore by visiting the Baadshahi Mosque, Lahore Fort, Maharaja Ranjit Singh's shrine and many more such historic places.

FMS Hosts LUMS The New Year brought with it an opportunity to make the bond established between the students of the two premier B-Schools even stronger. FMS played host to the LUMS Delegation in the second week of January, 2007. This was the first ever visit by Pakistani BSchool students to India, and signifies how higher education is becoming the new face of diplomacy. Dr. Syed Zahoor Hassan, Dean, LUMS had visited FMS last year. The LUMS Delegation provided a student perspective on the similarities as well as differences in education as well as other aspects of life in India and Pakistan.

Visit to China Two students from FMS went on a 10 day trip sponsored by the Government of India to China to understand the different facets of Chinese culture and society. More importantly, they found a whole new perspective to the manner in which businesses are run in China and the management education scenario there. They also studied the industry in China and witnessed first hand the leaps it has taken in order to develop as the manufacturing hub of the world.FMS is now preparing to host their Chinese counterparts when they come visiting later this year.

Visit to France After establishing ties with our neighbors at Lahore University of Management Studies and exploring China, FMS has now successfully spread its wings across the seas. A delegation of 6 students was recently invited by IAE de Lyon Business School of Universite Jean Moulin of France, for a Summer Business Graduate Program from 25th June to 6th July 2007. The program which has been running successfully for the last 20 years was introduced to FMS with an intention to build and reinforce the connection between India and France and the respective business schools, apart from cross cultural discussions and a comparative study between the various management perspectives and principles. The underlying theme of the Summer Business Graduate Program at Lyon was to 'How to do Business in the European Union'. As a part of the visit, a Company visit was organized to Renault Trucks, the second largest company in the Volvo Group. The students got an in-depth understanding of the production and technical core competences of the company and further solidified their learning.

Placements 2007

MBA FMS Delhi delivered its promise of a career of choice with dream companies and high salaries to its outgoing batch of 2007 after two years of hard toil and sweat in MBA. It's the mark of a great B school, if it can accommodate and fulfill the expectations of its students. At FMS, which has been fulfilling expectations since 1954, a new chapter gets written year on year. When the class of 2007 had signed up for its MBA two years back, what they had been promised was a magical salary figure of INR 8.9 lakhs p.a. and a list of recruiters which were among the best globally.
