SIIB is already making a name for itself as a B-school with a global perspective, focusing on providing education and developing skills that have a global, contemporary relevance.
The SIIB MBA ? Energy & Environment is a perfect case in point. It is an MBA with a difference ? creating niche skills with far-reaching, global prospects.
Energy and environment are at the core of all economic activity today. The challenge before industries, governments, and the world in general, is how to design & implement a sustainable strategy that balances development and profits with energy conservation and environmental concerns. It therefore becomes imperative to understand a broad range of environmental issues like climate change, loss of bio-diversity, ozone depletion, etc.
With the MBA ? Energy & Environment program, SIIB focuses on integrating Energy development and Environment concerns with management education to equip aspiring global managers with managerial, economic, legal and relevant technical competence. Thus they will serve as experts to provide the crucial link between the world of technology, business and sustainable development.

SIIB?s flagship program MBA in International Business is an intensive course which is designed specifically to help students achieve a rewarding career in management in India and abroad.
