The case study method is a key component of the academic program at IBS, which is one of the few institutions in India that has made case studies a critical component of its curriculum.

In the era when continuous learning is integral to growth and development of the executives and organizations, The Center for Management Development (CMD) at IBS Hyderabad was established with the objective to partner with government agencies, corporate and academic organizations to impart executive education through management development programs.

The CMD is well poised and equipped to associate with the industry in imparting customized solutions for manpower training and development. These programs are organized at the IBS Campus (Situated about 30kms from Hyderabad city). IBS campus has dedicated and fully furnished executive rooms to accommodate the participants.
