New Delhi: The Harvard Business School (HBS) says India's economic growth will affect the global market place and today announced three India-specific executive programmes.

"India's economic development will have widespread ramifications for the global economy and so it remains a fundamental part of Harvard Business School's global strategy and an exciting place to conduct new research," David Yoffie, senior Associate Dean of the HBS, which is part of the Harvard University said in a statement.

As part of their India focus, HBS will impart three courses - Building a Global Enterprise in India, Develop India - Strategies for Growth, and Managing and Transforming Professional Service Firms.

The first programme, Building a Global Enterprise in India (BGEI), the business school said, "Is designed to help top executives of companies examine the specific demands facing businesses in India and to equip leaders with new skills to achieve success in this rapidly developing market."

Participants will learn about best practices from businesses with long-established worldwide brands, companies based in emerging markets that have more recently traversed the path to global growth, and those now embarking upon it.

Each case study offers valuable lessons for any enterprise seeking to build scale in India today, the institute said.

"BGEI offers both deep global and Indian perspectives, based on years of research by our faculty, and provides participants with the necessary skill set to drive sustained business success in India," said Nitin Norhia, a professor at the HBS.

Develop India - Strategies for Growth programme will offer participants a personal action plan to navigate India's real estate supply chain- focusing on the major themes of leadership and strategy, financial analysis, sustainability, and urbanization and policy.

John Macomber who has written more than a half dozen new case studies for the programme, including four cases based on businesses in India leads the programme. IANS
