India's rapid strides towards integration with the global village have made it imperative that the millenium manager thinks globally even as he actslocally. Today's managers need to develop an adequate and contextual understanding of international business. IIMI has been quick to recognise the need to develop truly global managers, who possess not only the competencies to perform in a multinational organization, but also the leadership qualities. Also, an understanding of the process of liberalization of the Indian economy and the evolution of the global economy is critical.

Thus to help develop a global outlook, the curriculum has built in international focus as a dimension in the modules themselves. The nstitute also invites international visiting faculty, besides offering exclusive courses in international business in the second year such as International Trade and Finance, Foundations of International Management, Comparative Management In the Asia-Pacific, etc.
