THE US-CHINA trade war, the climate crisis, Brexit, global economic sluggishness, tensions in the Middle East and a host of similar global events are continuously affecting business decisions of companies in India, just as they shake global businesses. The need is for young B-School graduates, who are aware of these situations and are able to make decisions that would be beneficial to the organizations they work at, and for the economy as a whole.

The trade war between the US and China has been witnessing its effects across the world. Similarly, the global climate crisis is affecting many companies. In fact, some of the companies estimated a business risk of $1 trillion over the next five years. With all these issues floating around, organizations are now looking for people, who are problem solvers or solution providers.

So the big question arises, are Indian B-Schools producing graduates that can maneuver an ever-evolving global business landscape? To understand how B-Schools can produce future change agents, BW Businessworld spoke to leaders from the academic and corporate world.

Ready To Lead

According to Fr. Antony Uvari, Vice-Chancellor, Xavier University, the global scenario will always affect all stakeholders and young graduates need to be in sync with the changes taking place in the corporate world to be able to face challenges. ‘Bloom Wherever You Are Planted’ should be the attitude to become a change agent.”
