Overview

The United States-India Educational Foundation (USIEF) and the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) announce the Fulbright-Nehru-CII Fellowships for Leadership in Management for the academic year 2011-2012. Indian business managers, whose employers would be willing to bear 50% (USD 17,750) of the total cost (USD 35,500), may compete to attend a specially designed 10-week management program at the Carnegie Mellon University's Tepper School of Business, located in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA, from May 27-August 8, 2011. The Tepper School of Business is one of the world's premier centers for teaching and research in business management. The Tepper School of Business faculty members have won wide acclaim, including six Nobel Prizes in economics.


THE TEN WEEK PROGRAM CONSISTS OF THE FOLLOWING COMPONENTS:

- Participation in the four-week Global Leadership Executive Forum (GLEF), an outstanding general management program offered by the Tepper School of Business, Carnegie Bosch Institute. The flagship program by which the Carnegie Bosch Institute is known worldwide, presents, synthesizes, and applies knowledge about the multi-cultural professional environment in an intensive format. World-class faculty from Asia, Europe, and the U.S. address key management issues of strategy and leadership while touching upon topics of broad economic and international scope (see complete details in next section).
- Guided research on the growth of your organization under the supervision of a Professor - executives conduct study and produce an independent research paper that identifies challenge areas and growth prospects of their parent organizations that can be implemented in their home organizations at the end of their stay in the United States. This project gives additional focus to class work and independent study while fostering the application of learning when participants arrive back home.
- Technology Workshops: An opportunity to interact with some of Carnegie Mellon's many research centers to learn about such topics as robotics, computer-aided design, wearable computers, the environmentally sustainable workplace, and others.

In addition, the experience gives participants membership in the prestigious global Fulbright community, which has spread in 155 countries around the world.
