—————————————————
In an effort to encourage, empower and educate potential women entrepreneurs to create their own business or social enterprise, as well as enable women entrepreneurs to grow their existing enterprises, the Indian Institute of Management Bangalore (IIMB) in association with the Nadathur S. Raghavan Centre for Entrepreneurial Learning (NSRCEL) will conduct a Management Program for Women Entrepreneurs at the IIMB campus from April 14 to May 26, 2010. This unique program coordinated by IIMB faculty and held every summer since 2004 helps participants to convert their raw business ideas into a viable business plan for their proposed or existing business or social enterprise. Many previous participants have started new enterprises or initiated growth in their ongoing enterprise after attending this comprehensive program. This program is specifically designed for women entrepreneurs and is focused on enabling them to identify viable business opportunities and develop a viable and sustainable plan for their proposed enterprise. All participants who attend a minimum of 90% of the scheduled classroom sessions, present their Business Plan to the group in class and submit a copy of their Business Plan for evaluation, will receive a certificate of program completion from IIMB. Prizes with certificates are awarded for the best business plans presented. The Management Program for Women Entrepreneurs 2010 will be inaugurated on Wednesday April 14, 2010 at 9.00 a.m. Classes will be held from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. from April 14 to April 30 and again from May 17 to May 26 on all days Monday to Friday. During the period May 1-16 no classes are held so that participants can work on their Business Plan for presenting in class during the last week of the program. The program has over eighty sessions covering all areas of practical relevance to entrepreneurs including Entrepreneurial Orientation, Business Planning, Economic Environment, Business Economics, Industry Analysis, Business Strategy, Product Development, Marketing, Sales, Services Marketing, Product Management, Operations & Supply Chain Management, Accounting, Costing, Working Capital Management, Pricing, Finance, Banking, Budgeting, Managing People, Law, Taxation, Communication, Negotiation and Networking, supplemented with visits to firms of women entrepreneurs, a panel discussion on entrepreneurship and an MPWE alumni seminar.
