Artificial intelligence and robotics are making their way into management curriculum of the country’s business schools, including Indian Institutes of Management, even as machine intelligence and Internet of Things increasingly influence business strategies and analytics. Two months ago, SP Jain Institute of Management & Research (SPJIMR) launched two courses — ‘Reinventing Business with IoT, Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning’ and ‘IoT in Supply Chain’ for students of its flagship MBA programme.
The institute aims to expose students to full ecosystem of IoT, said Anil Vaidya, area head of information management at SPJIMR. “A management graduate will not do an engineer’s job, but in a world where automation is fast disrupting businesses, anyone in leadership position must have knowledge of technology, which they can use to improve business,” he told ET.
