AHMEDABAD MANAGEMENT ASSOCIATION ANNUAL REPORT 2013-2014 lllll 1

From the President

I am glad that your Association has completed yet another

year with panache. The year 2013-14, like previous years,

has been a very eventful year replete with broad a spectrum

of activities. The organization launched many new

initiatives charting out new directions while continuing its

endeavors to forge ahead in tune with emerging trends in

the arena of management. AMA has consistently pursued

the goal, achieving excellence and exceeding expectations

both of its members and the civil society at large.

Over the years, it has offered certificate and diploma programmes as an alternative

route for business executives. AMA has built up a strong reputation for itself by

providing services not just for members and the business community, but also for

reaching out to a wide spectrum of people. School and college children, teachers,

trade, industry and commerce have all greatly benefited from the specialized

programmes conducted by the AMA, which are looked upon as the premier choice

for management development, training and education.

During the year AMA organized 124 Lectures. The number of training

programmes conducted rose to 571 on different topics. More than 20000 people

attended lecture programmes while 11125 persons successfully completed

training programmes. The year under review also saw 66 in-company

programmes being conducted.

A dozen major conferences were held. This included the very popular annual

Innovation Conference followed by the year’s HR conference and IP Summit. The

other special conferences included the conference on ‘Entrepreneurial

Opportunities in Agriculture; Biotechnology. A conference on Entrepreneurial

Opportunities in Animation attracted a large number of people. The Vikram

Sarabhai Memorial lecture by eminent Scientist Dr. Sivathanu Pillai proved to be a

grand success.

Keeping in view the emerging trends in Entrepreneurship Development, AMA

training programmes focused subjects like work improvement; building efficiency

and starting new ventures. A highlight of these programmes was that they were

attended by people from different parts of Gujarat.

Gujarat has now become global investment hub. Many foreign investors are

scouting business opportunities in the state. Notable among them are French,

Spanish, German, Japanese and Chinese. To facilitate smooth interactions the

AMA has started these language classes besides English.


New Initiatives

AMA conducted two batches of diploma programmes on International Business

Management, Human Resource Management and Finance. Both the batches were

conducted in collaboration with California State University, San Bernardino. This

apart, as many as 132 training programmes in the area of International Business

were organized in which 3164 people participated.

A unique one day training programme was organized for Municipal School

Children covering 82 schools. As many as 485 students and 234 teachers

participated and benefited from these programmes. So far AMA had conducted

training programmes for 144 schools.

AMA has taken another initiative of compiling study reports on doing business

with different countries. Programmes are being held on the basis of these

reports. AMA is also contemplating to have an economic data centre at the

Library for easy access on Trade related data for Industry at the click of the mouse.

Environment protection in the wake of Global Climate Change has become

imperative to conserve our national resources and preserve our ecological

bio-diversity. One important aspect of this is the energy conservation by taking

recourse to non-conventional energy. AMA organized two seminars on Solar

Energy and Renewable Energy - Gujarat perspective under the aegis of PDPU-

AMA Centre for Non-Conventional Energy. You will be glad to know that the

Centre was established by Pandit Deendayal Petroleum University at AMA for

promotion of Non-Conventional Energy.

The popular AMA week on “Indian Wisdom for Management” completed its

21st year. Each day there was a record turnout of over 1500 persons.

We at AMA are aware that over the remaining part of the current decade, the

globalised world will be confronted with two major challenges. One is the shifting

of Economic Power from the West to East. The other is the revolutionary changes

anticipated in the realm of higher education globally with countries making

speedy efforts to transform themselves as a Knowledge Hub.

AMA has taken many initiatives to make its contribution to the evolution of a

knowledge-based society as it firmly believes that competitiveness depends on

making the most of its distinctive and valuable assets which are skills, innovation

and creativity. AMA’s initiatives in on-line education, International Management

Programmes, On-line Library, Skill Development, Vocational Programmes etc.

would provide valuable contributions to this effort.

American Corner (May 2004 - April 2014)

The American Corner in Ahmedabad

was a partnership between the

American Library, U.S. Consulate in

Mumbai and the host institute i.e. the

Ahmedabad Management Association

(AMA) from May 15, 2004 to March 31,

2014. There are more than 400 American

Corners across the World. The mission of

each American Corner is to be a partner in

promoting mutual understanding with the United States of America and to provide

accurate information about United States history, education, government, society,

and values; to maintain an open dialogue with host country publics through

programs that build bridges of understanding; to provide access to English language

resources, computers, and the Internet; and to leverage United States assistance and

exchange programs in the host country.

The American Corner in Ahmedabad facilitated a window to information about the

United States for about ten years. A large number of wide ranging audiences made

use of the facility and used as a center for learning and exchanging information

about the United States not only through its library resources and services, but also

through frequent programs organized by the Corner independently and in

collaboration with the Public Affairs Section. The Corner actively promoted the

American Library services and connected key contacts with the Mumbai Public

Affairs Section. The

services included

answering reference

queries (in person, letter,

emails or phone); providing

information about the US

including some basic

information about higher

education in the US;

managing the collection of

books and e-resources i.e.

collection of on-line

databases for Research and

Development, audio-visual and periodical collections; organizing programs, events

and activities like author readings, lectures, films, workshops, and exhibits.

American Corner Ahmedabad was the first and most successful American Corners

in India. Apart from reference library, the corner organized programs on English

language learning workshops, film screenings, and expert briefings on a variety of

topics over the past nine years. The American Corner attracted Students, Academics,
