Global CEO's on India Study Tour

Wharton Executive Education Collaborates with the Indian School of Business (ISB) to Explore Indian Market and Sourcing Opportunities for Global Senior Executives.

Hyderabad, February 24, 2005: The Aresty Institute of Executive Education (http://execed.wharton.upenn.edu) at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania and the Centre for Executive Education of the Indian School of Business (ISB) (http://www.isb.edu/execed) today jointly announced that they will be hosting the Wharton Fellows, a high profile group of global executives, for the India Master Class Programme. This programme is part of Wharton's top executive lifelong-learning network, Wharton Fellows.

"Wharton is pleased to partner with the ISB on this high profile executive education endeavour," says Jon Spector, Vice Dean for Executive Education at Wharton. "Combining both of the Schools' networks and knowledge is a win-win proposition for both the Schools as well as the Wharton Fellows."

The Wharton Fellows, will be visiting India from March 6-9. The Wharton Fellows India programme is being jointly designed and implemented by Wharton and the ISB to provide maximum learning impact for the Fellows.

"The India Master Class will help participants gain deep knowledge on India as an important emerging market and sourcing destination. The ISB is proud to partner with Wharton for this programme," said Shyam Viswanathan, Associate Dean of Executive Education at the ISB.

"India is running neck and neck with China in market size and growth potential, yet many of these opportunities will not be realized by using the traditional market strategies of the developed world," says Wharton Professor Jerry Wind, Founder of the Fellows Programme. "The Fellows programme will arm senior executives who have or are considering investments in India with new tools and mental models to enter and grow in that market."
