Focusing on developing innovative leaders, Haas has introduced a new course structure emphasizing on problem-solving and critical thinking. The school has restructured its two existing courses and added new features like workshops, and coaching sessions on leadership skills. The new innovative leadership content will be a part of Berkeley Innovative Leader Development (BILD); which will be applied to full time, weekend and evening MBA programs.
“We want to prepare leaders who define what’s next for our markets and our societies,” said Haas School Dean Rich Lyons. “This kind of path-bending leader is more critical than ever to our collective future because our world is on so many unsustainable paths, in areas such as education, healthcare, demographics, safe water, and energy. “Whether it is producing more fuel-efficient autos or creating new business processes, innovative leaders are the ones who will deliver into our idea-driven economy and create opportunity from the major challenges facing us within the lifetimes of our children.”

The Indian School of Business (ISB) has increased its tuition fee by about INR 80,000. The average cost of a single student, for a one year PGP program at ISB will now be INR 20, 20,000.
However, this revision is unlikely to deter students from studying at ISB. The school awards about 100 need and merit-based scholarships ranging from INR 1,00,000 to INR 3,50,000.Various loans and scholarships (including Citigroup – USD 12,500; Novartis – INR 4,00,000; Nurture India -INR 4,00,000; Tata Motors – INR 3,00,000 and more) are also available to assist the admitted students.
“This fee revision is merely an inflationary adjustment,” remarked a senior official from ISB. The school is ranked 12th among the global B-schools by the Financial Times , and is a sought after brand in business education.

Senior executives looking to add to their perspective and leadership skills, now, have an opportunity at the Indian School of Business. “We are launching the executive MBA (EMBA) for senior executives with 10 to 25 years of experience. The course will be world class and the fee is Rs.2.5 million plus travel expenses,” Ajit Rangnekar, dean of the Hyderabad-based ISB announced here Thursday. The course has been designed for executives with average work experience of 15 years.
Announcing the program, Ajit Rangnekar, Dean, ISB said, “Eight years after the successful launch of the one-year programme, the ISB is now launching PGPMAX, a post graduate program for senior industry executives. Consistent feedback from industry leaders over the years revealed the need for developing a leadership pipeline, and this has been the driving force for us to create this ambitious program. I am confident that PGPMAX too will break new ground in management education in India.”
The classes will be held for six days every one and half months. Thus, this part-time EMBA will spread over a period of 15 months. Rangnekar claimed the course is first of its kind in the country. During the course, students will spend one week each in the campus of Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania and Kellogg School of Management.
Sanjay Singh, head of this EMBA program, said they are looking for a batch of 60 students from the coming academic session. “The batch size will be 60. We are also open to foreigners joining the course.”
