“Most revealing… Bangalore changed the way I viewed the world.”

THE WORLDLY MINDSET
Module 3
Managing Context: The Worldly Mindset
Indian Institute of Management Bangalore
Bangalore, India
The core of this module focuses on the political, social and economic dimensions of developing as well as developed countries. It is built on the assumption that being exposed to other people’s worlds brings insight into one’s own, and this helps make us more worldly and wiser – better leaders.
The experience comes alive through visits to different locations that illustrate India’s diversity, from a food market to a software campus – which are separated by just a few kilometers yet appear to be centuries apart.
In this “East meets West” context, there is a deep examination of culture and the developing economy, with particular attention on the cultural clash that occurs when multinationals operate in developing countries. Participants therefore gain an appreciation for the challenges they will face as worldly managers.
