First B-School in Asia to Break into this Elite List

Leading B-School IBS Hyderabad's case study was declared a category winner in the prestigious ECCH Global Case Awards organized by European Case Clearing House (ECCH), the largest single source of management case studies in the world.

The award is in the 'Knowledge, Information and Communication Systems Management' category for the case study Knowledge Management Initiatives at IBM by Prof. Vivek Gupta, Ms. Indu Perepu and Mr. Sachin Govind. The winning case in each category is the one that has achieved the highest growth in popularity among peers worldwide, based on the number of individual organizations ordering and teaching the case during the last calendar year.
