Message

Indian Institute of Kharagpur was established in 1950; it is
the first, largest, fully residential and the most diversified
IIT. The first management school in the IIT system “Vinod
Gupta School of Management (VGSoM)” was established
in the 1990s with the generous support by an illustrious
alumnus, Mr. Vinod Gupta. The School has grown to
its present level of maturity on its continuous path of
improvement while imparting education in the field of
management. With untiring effort, unceasing support,
knowledge and leadership of its highly-qualified and
devoted faculty members and motivated students and
researchers, the School stands today as one of first five
best-ranked management institutes in the country as per
Prof. V. N. Achutha Naikan the NIRF (Government of India) ranking.
Dean, VGSoM If we look around, we see that many well designed
public and private systems do not perform as per the
expectation of various stakeholders and the most
important basic cause for this can be attributed to poor
management of these systems. Good management can
effectively change the scenario with a global systems
approach in management. Generation of well educated,
socially responsible, broad minded and analytically skilled
manpower in management is essential for this. In broad
sense, there exists four important rationale behind any
management education: ability to use the contingency
approach for solving business problems, combining the
best parts of several solutions of a decision problem
into a unique and better solution, introduce a global and
universal approach of managerial problem-solving, and
working with and learning from other people to make
a holistic view of man management philosophy with
inclusion of appropriate quantitative techniques. Creating
a very effective teaching-learning process to make the
students, researchers and other stakeholders competent
in applying the tools, techniques and approaches required
to address the issues and the problems in management has
been the main objective of the educational programmes
of the School.
