JAYPEE BUSINESS SCHOOL

Jaypee Business School is the latest symbol of the vision of our Revered Founder, Hon'ble Shri Jaiprakash Gaur ji. The Jaypee Group has been working to promote 'Excellence in the field of IT & related emerging areas of education, training and research comparable to the best in the world for producing professionals who shall be leaders in innovation, entrepreneurship, creativity and management'

The mission of JBS is 'To prepare and produce competent, passionate and market centric professionals and managers of human emotions, business operations and global quality’.

Innovative Approach

The innovative approach of JBS is reflected in the Four distinctive V's of Jaypee Business School: They are Vision, Value, Vector and Vitality.

VisionJBS has chosen to focus on the 'Niche and Sunrise Sectors of India' that require specially trained executives for better service and relationships. Our MBA programmes are sector specific and more industry suited than any generic MBA for greater success.

ValueJBS benefits our technically qualified students in order to become more competent and ready for the destined professions. JBS graduates are equally trained in technical and interpersonal interactions - the twin expectations of employers today.

Vector

26

JBS vectors (directs) its resources towards creating a MBA programme with triple specializations. The first is mandatory in service and relationship centricity, the second is optional in any management function (Finance, Marketing, HRM, Consulting and Operations etc.) and the third and final specialization in any industry verticals such as Financial services, Retailing, Skilled Manufacturing, Healthcare and Infrastructure services.

VitalityFinally, JBS aims to bring a new vitality to all the three campuses of ours at Noida, Guna and Waknaghat with activities, cultural change and plans for the academic, social and leadership development of our students, faculty and larger community. Our 'Netratava' (Leadership Forum) and a mandatory course on Leadership Communication programme are examples of our vitality.

Centres of Excellence

JBS has setup three centers of excellence viz. Center for Learning Excellence, Center for Industry Interface and Center for Service Innovation. Each Center aims to 'Pursue, Publish, Practice and Promote Excellence in the Select Verticals of Service and Relationship Management'.

Centre for Learning Excellence (CLE)

World wide, the undergraduate education in professional programmes is the focus of increased attention. In order to promote a higher order of learning environment, several universities offering undergraduate engineering education like Stanford University, Georgia Tech University, Utah State University and University of Delaware have established training centers for more effective class room learning.

JBS recognizes this as an important challenge and has responded by organizing several annual and occasional short duration faculty development programmes. For instance, the annual Faculty Development programme in 2006 involved all 150 faculty members of JIIT, JUIT and JIET who learnt the concepts of CARE Learning (Customized, Active, Research centric and Experimental learning). Similarly, the annual Faculty Development programme in 2007 discussed the profiles and activities of ACE Learning facilitators (Active, Committed and Excellent Teachers).

27

The Center for Learning Excellence now seeks to build upon its experience further and offer its expertise to fellow institutions that are offering undergraduate teaching. The Center promotes cutting edge undergraduate teaching in professional courses in India. Towards this, the Center held an international faculty development workshop with the theme 'Transforming Undergraduate Technical Education through the Pedagogies of Engagement'.

Centre for Industry Interface (CII)

JBS operates in a dynamic interface with industry and seeks to envision the future together. Each of us is required to deliver the best results to our community. Respecting the importance of this interface, JBS stands invested in the formation of 'Center for Corporate Interface. The CII activities include the following:

Invite practicing managers to mentor JBS students Industrial interface, visits and Internships Short term training workshops, seminars and training programmes for managerial

staff and executives including from the government and non-government sectors Research and business consulting Group discussions, seminars, workshops and conferences Guest lectures and talks Case research and documentation Any other interface activity

Center for Service Innovation (CSI)

This Center seeks to 'create, crystallize, multiply and handhold the spirit of Service innovation in India'. The mission is to support service innovators and entrepreneurs of India and build a resource network. The Center is collaborating with entrepreneurs and forums like TIE (The Indus Entrepreneurs). The activities of the Center include the following:

Networking Mentorship Courses, Workshops and Seminars for service entrepreneurs Business Plan Competitions Service Success Story Session (Interaction with successful entrepreneurs)

Global Partnership & Linkages

In line with the vision of the Group, JBS has opened discussions with several leading business schools and universities in India and overseas. The School seeks to ally with the Association for Service Management International (AFSMI) - the only global organization dedicated to advance the knowledge, understanding, and career development of professionals in the high technology services and support 'e-business (www.afsmi.org). The School will explore association with the Center for Service Leadership at Arizona State University, USA.

JBS also believes in the power of academic networking around the globe and is in discussion with several universities for exchange and other collaborations for our students and faculty. Student exchange programmes exist with select Schools globally. The MBA programme provides students with the unique opportunity to study one semester at one of these select B-Schools outside India. These universities include the following:
