THE INDIAN INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT KOZHIKODE(IIM KOZHIKODE)

The Indian Institute of Management Kozhikode was established in 1996 by theGovernment of India as the fifth IIM in the country, in collaboration with the stategovernment of Kerala. Spread over about 100 acres of land, the Institute is situatedon two hillocks, located amidst the scenic setting of the Western Ghats. The campusof IIMK was referred as the ̀ God`s own Campus` by former president of India, Dr.A.P.J. Abdul Kalam. The Institute has emerged as a centre of excellence inmanagement education and has earned a unique position for itself in this field.

The Institute is taking a leap forward in each of its key activities in a highly synergicmanner. The presence of regular visitors from institutions abroad gives an addedflavor to its various activities. Though young, it has earned a name for itself as apioneering, distinctive and efficient management Institution in India. The Institute,not content to rest on its laurels, aims to emerge as a fully integrated managementinstitution of higher learning in Pacific region, and is particularly known for a focuson global, cross-cultural issues as well as for the analytical rigour of its academicprogram. It, therefore, has the full range and breadth of academic activities, coveringresearch, teaching, training, consulting and intellectual infrastructure development.

IIMK KOCHI CAMPUSIIM Kozhikode has also set up its first satellite campus at Infopark in Kochi. Thecampus offers two-year part-time post graduate programme in management inaddition to several short and long-term management development programmes.The Kochi campus focuses on executive education with full-time, part time, short-term and specialised programmes for middle and senior management employeesto enhance and upgrade skills for better career prospects.

INTERNATIONAL EXCHANGE PROGRAMMEThe Indian Institute of Management Kozhikode's (IIMK) International ExchangeProgramme endeavors to work with partner institutions to develop mutually beneficialscholarly and social engagements between students, faculty members across theglobe. We believe that these engagements would result in knowledge sharingregarding best practices in research, teaching and learning experience andunderstanding of business practices and conventions in different countries, and

appreciation of the social, political, economic and cultural dynamics that impact global business operations. Currently IIMK has exchange partnerships with the following premier Management Institutes.

Abu Dhabi University, Abu DhabiAsian Institute of Technology, ThailandAudencia Nantes School of Management, FranceBocconi University, Milano, ItalyCatolica Lisbon School of Business and Economics, Portugal College of Commerce National Chengchi University, Taiwan Cyprus International Institute of Management, Cyprus EDHEC Business School, FranceEM Strasbourg Business School, FranceESCP Europe, FranceESSCA School of Management, FranceEuropean Business School, Oestrich-Winkel, GermanyForeign Trade University, Vietnam Groupe ESC Troyes, FranceICN Business School FranceIESEG School of Management, FranceISCTE University Institute of Lisbon, PortugalJean Moulin Lyon 3 University, FranceJonkoping International Business School, SwedenKedge Business School, FranceLeeds University Business School, United KingdomLeipzig Graduate School of Management, Germany Management Center Innsbruck, AustriaMays Business School, UT Austin, USANeoma Business School, FranceNorwegian School of Economics, NorwayPlymouth University, UKSabanci University, TurkeySungKyunKwan University , KoreaTelecom E Cole De Management, FranceTuDelft University of Technology, NetherlandsUniversite du Quebec a Montreal, CanadaUniversity of Lausanne, SwitzerlandVictoria University of Wellington, New Zealand

The international partnerships, which IIM Kozhikode enters into, also have a facultyexchange component, which are expected to be more comprehensive, and morerewarding than the usual students exchange agreement. Faculty members from IIMKozhikode may spend an academic term at partner institution, which may sendtheir academic staff in turn to IIM Kozhikode, under mutually agreed terms. Thegoal of such faculty exchange is not just to exchange course instructors, but is,rather, to develop research linkages of a continuing nature, facilitating access toinformation and data on a scale and of a qualitative nature, not possible otherwise.
