MUSCAT -- Special seminars on 'Challenges in Risk Management' and 'Current Trends in Management Education', held under the patronage of the Oman Chamber of Commerce and Industry (OCCI) and organised by Al Ossol Al Arabia in association with the Indian Institute of Management Calcutta (IIMC), were held under the auspices of the chief guest, Anil Wadhwa, Indian Ambassador to the Sultanate and guest of honour, Abdul Adheem al Bahrani, Director General at OCCI, at the Chamber, yesterday.
After the inaugural address, given by the CEO of Al Osool Al Arabia, the Indian Ambassador gave a brief speech. He said he felt honoured to attend this premiere event that deals with the issues concerning risk management, adding that, he understood the importance connected to managing risks and its negative reducing effect, especially in relation to productivity and spending.
Highly esteemed Professors, Dr Ashok Banerjee (pictured) and Dr Krishanu Rakshit, of IIMC, considered to be amongst the leading experts in their field gave detailed presentations on 'Challenges in Risk Management' and 'Current Trends in Management Education', respectively.
For the first time, the 1-year duration IIM distance learning courses -- offering virtual reality classrooms with participating students from over 90 countries -- are being made available here in Oman.
Al Osool al Arabia, in association with HughesNet Global Education, is the only firm to facilitate a distance education platform for executives and professionals to pursue business management courses in Muscat. The company provides courses offered by premier business schools like IIM-Calcutta, IIM-Kozhikode, IIM-Lucknow, XLRI Jamshedpur, MIC Ahmedabad, IIT-Bombay, IIFT Delhi. The online platform seamlessly integrates the strengths and advantages of the traditional method of education with the latest in technology.
The classes being offered in Muscat are the Executive Programme in Business Management, which help managers face the challenge of increasing competition due to the globalisation of business and the economy. Salient changes witnessed are the deregulation and liberalisation of economies, changing industry structures, mergers, acquisitions and alliance formations to sustain growth, privatisation, technological advances, changes in the consumer preferences and life-style, and emergence of new forms of organisation and management practices.
The Executive Programme in Business Management (for International Students) is designed to provide managers and professionals with a broad overview of the key concepts, tools and techniques needed to successfully meet the challenges of today's global business environment. Individual courses will give participants the knowledge needed to work cross-functionally within the organisation and become more skilled in the basics of business management.
The financial meltdown has thrown the focus on the need to create a new breed of financial experts, who are adept at creating and managing the risks of innovative financial products such as derivatives. The recent financial crisis is largely the result of managers not being able to completely understand and manage operational risks of the new generation of derivatives.
