Globalization, by implication means a borderless world in which individual nations are witnessing a paradigm shift in production and marketing practices on a world wide basis. Protected markets have become an anachronism and there is now a perceptible shift from the sellers market to a customer driven market. This is turn, has necessitated a radical re-orientation in corporate strategies on global scale with greater attention and importance accorded to aspects like fostering strategic business linkages, technology upgradation and human resource training and development.

The business scenario in this new era clearly warrants the creation of a new breed of “global managers” with the vision and the drive to deal with a fast changing and volatile world trading environment. The new era global manager is envisaged as an individual fully geared to manage the rigours of a competitive and complex world trade environment. Besides having a global vision, he needs to possess the capacity to organise information, manage human resources, formulate action plans, cope with multiple, stress situations and have the amplitude and depth of business knowledge required to meet competition head on. In response to these new challenges, Jagan Institute of Management Studies was established to develop and train the next generation of business leaders. The Institute offers an inspiring learning environment which transforms young students into talented professionals. JIMS has well qualified and experienced faculty with specialization in diverse areas in Management, Finance, HRD and IT. The courses of JIMS expose students to concepts, techniques and decision-making tools through an interactive learning process. Hence, when they pass out, the students are able to immediately function as effective managers in the business organisations.

JIMS has all the requisite modern infrastructure that is considered essential for imparting management training including a fully equipped computer centre and library. In the spectrum of JIMS activities organising Research Paper Contests, Seminars, Management Development Programmes occupy a critical place. The Institute’s quarterly magazine ‘8M’ is very popular among the corporate CEOs, policy makers and the academia.

We wish the students of JIMS a bright future.
