Course summary: Accounting is known as the language of business. It is meant to provide organized, accurate, and timely information about economic events inside the business to the business’ various stakeholders. It involves various stages, from recording transactions to reporting net results for an entity. The accounting process culminates in the reporting of the business's periodic results, showing the periodic performance and position of the business through its financial statements, viz., income statement, balance sheet, cash flow statement, and statement of changes in equity, along with notes explaining the details in the statements. Financial accounting also offers tools such as ratio analysis and common sizing to enable meaningful inferences from the results. When you make decisions as business managers and leaders, establishing the causal relationship between those decisions and their outcomes might be significant. The information generated by financial accounting is the most comprehensive, reliable, and objective information, enabling you to analyse the decisions and the outcomes. Therefore, understanding the financial accounting process, financial statements, and interpretation thereof is very important.

Term: II
Course summary: This core course is being offered to IIMU postgraduate students since the institute’s inception in 2011. There are hardly any parallels to this innovative course in other leading management schools in India. Our experience suggests that most of the management students have never had an opportunity to learn about social and political issues affecting business administration and management. This is partly because a vast majority of IIM students come from engineering, science and technology background. This course will bring to the class narratives of the way Indian society and polity have evolved and, in turn, have shaped the economy. The principal intention in discussing these narratives is to jointly and constantly explore the relationship of business world with the wider social and political milieu. This is important because the employees of the business entities come from this society, the customers are from this society, the vendors operate in this society and clearly, they all shape and get shaped by the wider social and political structures. Given this very nature of the course, the main content of the course will be narrative, and an effort will be made to bring in as much analytical perspectives in the discussions as possible. An effort will be made to shape attitudes of the students and make them more sensitive and aware of the social reality around them. The students are expected to read widely, much beyond the narrow boundaries of their previous educational qualifications.

Starting with a broad overview of Digital Transformation, the course dives deeper into digital technologies and supported by rich case studies provides a template for young MBAs to embark on a career in Digital IT. The course also focuses on the business aspects of technologies. It is relevant for business users, buyers, or sellers of technologies, i.e., those aspiring to be in the IT buy or sell side.
Course summary: Macroeconomics is the study of the economy. Managers need to understand macroeconomics because changes in macroeconomic factors impact both demand and supply conditions. When a firm decides on a new investment, it makes assumptions of stability in demand, interest rates, tax rates, exchange rates, price level, etc. However, macroeconomic policy changes affect those variables and the business environment. Businesses can gain or lose significant amounts of money when their macroeconomic environment changes, regardless of how well they are managed at the firm level. For example, a fall in the economy's growth (fall in GDP), and a higher price level (inflation) will affect a firm’s cost and demand. Learning macroeconomics helps managers understand the management problems of an economy.
Course summary: "Operations Management (OM)" deals with the management of resources in the production of goods and services. Central to OM thinking is the paradigm of competing through excellence in operations (i.e., manufacturing and service sectors). In recent years several strategies have emerged for improving productivity and quality, reducing costs and delivery times, and enhancing the flexibility and innovative abilities of the firm. Moreover, the competitiveness and, consequently, the growth of the manufacturing sector are being recognized as key factors in enhancing the status of the Indian economy.

Course summary: Every managerial decision - irrespective of the functional domain from which it originates - has an impact, either very directly or indirectly, on the financial position, and thus the value, of the enterprise. The impact could be in the form of changes in asset base, capital structure, revenue stream, cost structure, investment mix, risk profile, growth prospects, or strategic direction of the enterprise. Perforce, extending from this premise, every manager should possess a good insightful understanding of financial analysis and management. This course builds on concepts that you have already covered in your introductory course on corporate finance and it forms part of the foundation for the advanced courses that will be offered as electives in the second year of this programme. It is designed to equip you with concepts, tools, techniques, and terminology that will help you - irrespective of the functional domain you choose to make a career in - to take managerial decisions that are optimal from a (financial) value perspective.
Term: III
Course summary: This flexi-core course on corporate strategy and structure builds on the core course on strategic management. The core course on strategic management focused on creating and sustaining competitive advantage for single-business enterprises or specific business units of multi-business enterprises. Many single-business enterprises eventually grow and become multi-business enterprises. They may grow and broaden the scope of their enterprises across different businesses (diversification), along the industry value chain (vertical integration), and/or across multiple countries (internationalization). The present course takes the CEO’s perspective on creating and sustaining corporate advantage for such multi-business enterprises. CEOs of multi-business enterprises may be able to create and sustain corporate advantage for their enterprises by taking key strategic decisions such as (i) whether to broaden (or shrink) the scope of the firm and whether to enter into (or exit from) specific businesses, involving diversification, vertical integration, and internationalization; (ii) whether to acquire other enterprises or enter into strategic alliances with them; (iii) how to create appropriate organizational mechanisms for effectively managing the business portfolio of their enterprises; and (iv) how to manage the complex process of corporate transformation. The course aims to equip students with appropriate analytical frameworks for analysing and evaluating such critical strategic decisions for such enterprises.
Course summary: CCM is an understanding of how culture and cultural differences impact business, organizations, and human relations. Key to the understanding of this impact is the role that perception plays. Multiple paradigms have emerged describing mental models of cultural schema aiding the process of navigating and responding to the challenges of managing people in multicultural contexts. In this course, students are required to examine nuances of cultures, cultural differences and their interplay in interactions - at individual, group, and organizational levels. In doing so, students will learn how to comprehend and systematically manage multicultural teams. Balancing individual and group level expectations and negotiating those expectations in cross-cultural contexts are central to this systematic process of management. Therefore, critical analyses of international business relations are essential in this course. In particular, students are required to develop deeper insights in different facets of culture; various cross-cultural concerns, challenges, and coping mechanisms thereby; functioning and failures of multicultural workforces; and management of multicultural teams located globally. These insights are pertinent for effective decision-making, being conscious and respectful of ethics, and being aware of various social responsibilities. In the process, students will develop leadership capabilities tailored to manage cross-cultural teams in local and global contexts.

Course summary: Economics is the Lingua Franca of business, and this course focuses on applied macroeconomics. The Global Macroeconomics Course is designed to provide a thorough understanding of the global economic landscape. This course covers various facets of international economics, including the balance of payments, exchange rates, and the impact of global financial markets on national economies. The primary goal of this course is to develop a solid understanding of the broad, economy-wide factors that affect the performance and management of firms in today's global economy. We will delve into key questions such as: Why do some countries outperform others? What causes persistent inflation, and how does hyperinflation occur? What drives global imbalances, and what are their consequences? How are exchange rates determined? What roles do fiscal and monetary policies play? To address these questions, we will create a conceptual framework that explains the relationships between critical macroeconomic variables like real output, economic growth, unemployment, inflation, interest rates, exchange rates, and the current account balance. This course aims to equip students with the ability to systematically analyse the current economic environment and macroeconomic policy, enabling them to evaluate the economic conditions in which business and financial decisions are made. The course will heavily draw on current events and realworld examples to illustrate the issues.
Course summary: The age-old sales mantra, Always Be Closing, is supposed to motivate salespeople to achieve their monthly/quarterly sales targets. In doing so, this mantra implicitly reduces each prospective customer to a mere figure (closed or not) in the sales records. Furthermore, when human aspects get lost in the selling process, it increases the chances of salespeople engaging in some desperate measures (e.g., making some false promises) just to get the first yes from a prospect. If a salesperson is truly interested in getting repeat purchases from most of their firsttime-converted customers, they need to adopt a relationship-oriented approach in their selling process. The Introduction to Sales (IS) course is designed to educate interested students about this relationship-selling paradigm so as to prepare them to pursue excellence if/when they get into a sales role.
Course summary: This course explores the intersection of psychology, economics, and business decision-making, providing insights into how individuals, organizations, and markets often deviate from classical economic theories. While traditional microeconomics assumes rational decision-making and efficient markets, this course examines situations where markets fail, or individuals act irrationally due to structural factors. Building on microeconomic principles, the course covers real-world phenomena like market failures, risk aversion, biases, and heuristics. Students will first engage with theoretical models and then analyze empirical research and case studies to apply these insights in areas such as marketing, health, public policy, and management. By the end of the course, students will be equipped with practical tools to enhance decision-making and design effective interventions in business environments.
Course summary: Leaders emerge from the crucible of intense power dynamics. Those that first understand and then strategize and deploy their understanding of how power flows through organizations become great leaders. There are no shortcuts to power. They not only steer organizations to lasting success but also build a legacy in how they exalt the empowering of humans in organizations. This course does not have sing-alongs, meditations, empty rhetoric, or other forms of popular entertainment that are usually mislabelled as leadership training. Instead, it helps you to peer behind the veil of leadership “B.S.” (Pfeffer, 2015), and helps you to pierce through pop-spy “feel-good”, un-whetted, and hollow ideas of leadership to show you what the reality of leadership in the 21st century is all about. Leadership is fundamentally, and ultimately, about power. At the end of the course, not only will you have a robust understanding of how to be a leader, you will also have a slew of tools, supported by social-science evidence, that you can use to excel as a leader. This is a course specifically designed for those who are serious about becoming leaders and are willing to learn what it takes to get there. The course is inspired by, emulates, and relies on the body of work by Jeff Pfeffer, dean of Stanford GSB, and his graduate course of leadership.
Course summary: The Marketing in the Digital World (MDW) builds on the foundational concepts introduced in the Marketing Management course, specifically focusing on the evolution of the 4Ps (Product, Price, Place, Promotion) and Segmentation, Targeting, and Positioning (STP) in today's digital landscape. As businesses operate in a highly digitized and complex environment, this course equips students with an updated understanding of marketing strategies tailored to the digital age. MDW is designed to equip students with the skills and frameworks needed to thrive in today's digitally driven marketing landscape. This hands-on course uniquely combines practical simulations, expert guest lectures, and a real-world group project, offering students a comprehensive understanding of both the strategic and operational aspects of digital marketing. From gaining indepth knowledge of SEO, SEM, and social media marketing to understanding analytics and mobile marketing, students will engage in interactive sessions and exercises that mirror the realities of digital marketing. By leveraging a combination of simulation-based learning (like the Novela Search Marketing Simulation), expert-led discussions, and a group project that simulates creating a comprehensive digital marketing strategy, the course enables students to develop real-world skills highly valued during internships and in full-time marketing roles. Whether you're managing a brand or analysing data, this course empowers students to contribute meaningfully to their summer internships and build a strong profile for careers in marketing.

Course summary: Marketing managers take decisions with respect to segmentation, targeting, positioning, pricing, distribution, and communication. These decisions need to be based on clear understanding of consumers, markets, competitors, channels, and media consumption. Marketing Research is the process of generating market insights for taking effective and efficient decisions. This course introduces the basics of marketing research to students and prepares them both as marketing researchers as well as business managers who use this research for decision making. The sessions provide the basic knowledge and techniques, both qualitative and quantitative. Projects, cases, and readings would help ensure assimilation of the basics for application to specific problems faced by managers. The course provides a good foundation for various marketing electives offered in Year II. More importantly, it would be of immense value for carrying out market and consumer studies during the summer internships. The course also covers a wide range of research tools that are used in the corporate world – beyond just the marketing department. The course is broad enough to cover both qualitative and quantitative tools.
Course summary: Businesses and governments are inseparable partners. This flexi-core course is essentially about the relationship between the government and the business world. Historically, governments have played a critical role in trade and commerce world over. During the industrial revolution in the countries that are now developed, governments have nurtured the industrial sector, and they continue to regulate and incentivize businesses to sustain economic growth. In emerging economies, the success of the East Asian Tigers (Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Singapore) hinges upon the catalytic role of their governments, and the same is true for China, India and other major economies. Yet, in conventional management curriculum, business and government relationships are often overlooked. This course aims to fill this crucial knowledge gap in the MBA programme at IIM Udaipur. The changing environment of modern organizations confronts managers with challenging situations which can’t be adequately tackled by traditional market-based decision-making practices. Managers, business leaders and entrepreneurs are required to act on issues that are decided in the public domain, outside markets. Many of the most difficult managerial problems involve public policy and action intermediated by governmental institutions such as legislatures, bureaucracy, courts, and regulatory authorities. The managers need to understand the structure of the government, public policy processes and the dynamic relationship between business and government. This is the main subject matter of the course.
Course summary: Studying Strategic Cost Management is essential for MBA students because it provides the skills needed to make strategic decisions that directly impact an organization's profitability and competitiveness. This course teaches how to identify and manage costs, align cost structures with business strategies, and improve overall efficiency. Understanding the relationship between costs, pricing, and profitability is crucial for navigating today’s complex business environment. This course also teaches the basics of planning, performance evaluation, and variance analysis & management. These preliminary frameworks will aid in developing strategies for delegating authority in a complex decentralized organization. By mastering strategic cost management, you will not only be equipped to control and manage costs but also to use them as a tool for gaining competitive advantage and driving long-term growth, making you a valuable asset to any organization.
Course summary: People are an organization’s most critical resource. Their knowledge and skills along with their commitment, creativity, and effort are the basis for competitive advantage. It is people that have creative ideas for new products or for process improvements that devise marketing strategies or take technologies to the next level. This Flexi-core course in Strategic Human Resource Management (SHRM) provides a managerial perspective on the effective management of human resources within an organization and builds the role of Human Resource Management as a strategic business partner. The orientation of the course is to understand the general HR functions of the organisation and their relevance within the competitive landscape.
Course summary: In order to stay relevant for the ever-changing user needs, innovators need to focus on impactful interventions and solutions - those that evolve and are sustainable. The traditional problem-solving route often taken by individuals and organizations encompasses thinking in a linear solution-oriented manner and applying common solutions to surface-level problems. When solving for ‘wicked problems’, ones that we know have been around for decades but still keep showing their heads every now and then, it is imperative that we surpass our tendency to focus on the superficiality of the problem. And most challenges dealing with changing behavior fall into this category. This course aims to equip students with practical skills to innovate, solve complex problems, and influence consumer behavior effectively. The course combines theoretical insights with hands-on practice, case studies, and real-world applications.
Course summary: This course is designed for aspiring entrepreneurs who want to turn innovative ideas into viable business ventures. Through a combination of hands-on learning and expert mentorship, students will develop practical skills in business ideation, market research, financial planning, and pitching to investors.
