Indian Institute of Management Calcutta (भारतीय प्रबंधन संस्थान कलकत्ता), abbreviated as "IIM Calcutta" or "IIMC", is a public business school located in Kolkata (Calcutta), West Bengal, India. It was the first Indian Institute of Management to be established. It is consistently ranked as one of the leading business schools in India and the Asia Pacific region.〔〔〔 Established in 1961,〔 IIM Calcutta is a fully autonomous institution and offers several postgraduate and doctoral programmes in management, as well as a bouquet of executive education programmes. In addition to its main academic programmes, IIM-C is also engaged in research, consultancy, seminars, academic conferences and research publications. IIM Calcutta's programs are accredited by AACSB and AMBA: it is the only Indian b-school with both these global accreditations.〔()〕 It is also the only Indian business school that is a member of the Global Alliance in Management Education (CEMS). IIM-C is especially renowned for its finance-related courses, and is widely considered to be one of the best business schools in the world for finance.〔(Financial Times Rankings )〕 ==History== After India became independent in 1947, the Planning Commission was entrusted to oversee and direct the development of the nation. India grew rapidly in the 1950s, and in the late 1950s the Commission started facing difficulties in finding suitable managers for the large number of public sector enterprises that were being established in India as a part of its industrial policy. To solve this problem, the Planning Commission in 1959 invited Professor George Robbins of the University of California to help in setting up an all India level institute of management studies. Based on his recommendations, the Indian government decided to set up two elite management institutes, named ''Indian Institutes of Management''. Indian Institute of Management Calcutta was the first of these IIMs, and was established on 13 November 1961〔 in collaboration with the MIT Sloan School of Management, the government of West Bengal, the Ford Foundation and the Indian industry. Its first Director was K. T. Chandy, the former Chairman of Hindustan Unilever Limited. During the initial years of IIM Calcutta, several renowned academics and visionaries formed part of its core team, including Paul Samuelson, Jagdish Sheth, J K Sengupta, Peter S King, and Thomas Hill. In its initial years, IIM Calcutta operated from Emerald Bower, Barrackpur Trunk Road, Kolkata. The foundation stone of the current IIM-C campus in Joka, Kolkata, was laid by Morarji Desai, who was then the Deputy Prime Minister of India on 15 Dec 1968. The institute moved to the new campus in 1975. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Indian Institute of Management Calcutta」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
