UNIVERSITAS 21 Global (U21Global), an online graduate school, on Thursday signed an MoU with the NS Raghavan Centre for Entrepreneurial Learning (NSRCEL) of IIM, Bangalore for a joint certificate programme on entrepreneurship and family enterprise. Targeted at entrepreneurs and owners of family-run businesses, the programme is scheduled to commence in late 2006.

Speaking on the occasion, Dr Michael Goldberg, Chief Academic Officer of U21Global, said: "This joint postgraduate certificate programme is extremely pertinent for today's budding entrepreneurs. Start-up and family-run businesses today require modern management skills to compete with professionally run enterprises. This programme is specially designed for building their managerial and analytical skills so that they can not only survive, but thrive, in today's fierce globally competitive business environment."

Prof S. Sundarajan, Chairperson of NSRCEL, said: "Indian family businesses recognise that in order to succeed and continue to grow in the current environment, they need to compete globally and to innovate and learn continuously.

This calls for developing knowledge, skills, and attitude through a credible and formal process of management education."

The joint certificate programme, collaboratively designed by the NSRCEL and U21Global, would be delivered in a blended format comprising online sections and face-to-face classes.
