FROM THE
DIRECTORS DESK
I feel proud and happy to introduce you to XLRI and welcome you to this prestigious institution.
XLRI was established in 1949, soon after India gained Independence, and united itself in spirit and action with the patriots
and great leaders of India in building the nation. Its focus has been on mentoring the youth to become responsible and
committed leaders who can shape the future of this country. XLRI continues to hold the same vision to produce leaders
who are efficient and have a sensitive social conscience.
Excellence and integrity are the guiding motto of XLRI, resulting from the Jesuit principle of magis ever greater, ever
better. We try to translate excellence through academics, personal values and social sensitivity. Our aim is to mould our
students into change agents who can work for the betterment of the poor and the marginalised.
We are here to help you grow into self-disciplined and socially responsible individuals. Xlers are the most sought-after
managers in the corporate sector. Our alumni across the world have scaled great heights in their respective fields and
are considered to be synonymous with excellence.

excellent sports and recreational facilities to offer.

paving the way for XLRI to become a truly global institute that can promote a comprehensive exchange of ideas and
culture. I am confident that your time at XLRI will be both enjoyable and rewarding, providing you with knowledge and

THE GENESIS AND

JOURNEY
OVER 60 YEARS
Keeping true to its vision,

XLRI strives to offer an education
which is not just leading to
a degree, but one that inspires
students to respond to the unmet
needs of the society.
4
XLRI was founded in 1949 by Fr Quinn Enright, SJ, in the

Steel City, Jamshedpur, soon after Independence. The
country was undergoing a political, economic and social
transformation. Fr Enright visualised XLRI to be a partner in
this liberation and development journey. His vision was to
renew the face of the earth through XLRI. Together with Fr
Bill Tome, Fr Edward McGrath and other Jesuit companions,
he worked tirelessly towards translating this vision into
reality.
The Jesuit Society has been guiding the activities and affairs
of the institute since 1949. The forces that made it possible
for XLRI to realise the vision were (1) Commitment to
magis to strive for better, to excel; (2) Conviction through
discernment a decision making process which is not selfcentered but God-centered and (3) Courageous execution
of the decisions because it was Gods work. The hallmark of
this culture is, not to walk on the beaten path, but to strike
new routes; not to benchmark, but to be benchmarked;
to be second to none, but to be the first to respond to the
needs of the people and the nation. It is this enterprising
and pioneering spirit that sets XLRI apart from other
management schools.
XLRI has always had a global outlook. It was the first to
internationalise its programmes. Renowned personalities
have been a part of the institute as leaders and teachers.
The Board of Governors comprises distinguished
industrialists, academicians and members of the Jamshedpur
Jesuit Society.
Keeping true to its vision, XLRI strives to offer an education
which is not just leading to a degree, but one that inspires
students to respond to the unmet needs of the society.
The single-most characteristic that sets apart XLRI students,
is magis the zeal to do better, never to be satisfied with
being a mediocre and aspire to excel. He/she relentlessly
strives for more, for something greater and better. Instead of
wishing circumstances to change and be different, magisdriven persons either make them different or make most
of them. Instead of waiting for golden opportunities to
come along, they turn all that is in hand into gold. Magis
should be reflected in every Xler in three areas (a) Academic
excellence learning not for grades but for knowledge and
wisdom. A genuine thirst for knowledge, questioning the
status quo for meaning and wisdom in life; (b) Values
imbibe and stand for ethical and social values, even in the
midst of squalor, corruption, opposition and above all human
loneliness and (c) Social concern for people to be at the
service of the needy. Integrity should permeate all the three

aspects, ones thoughts, feelings and actions.
During the initial years of its growth, XLRI developed and
organised several management courses for trade unions.
In 1953, a two-year, day programme in Industrial Relations
and Welfare was started which has been re-christened to
Human Resource Management. Since then, XLRI has added
many more academic programmes and has expanded its
infrastructure to meet the growing demand. A three-year,
evening programme in Business Management was started in
1965, while the two-year, full-time programme in Business
Management was launched in 1968. In responding to the
demand of the corporate and public sector, a one-year
General Management Programme for working executives
was launched in 1997. To mark its 50th year of service to
the executive world, XLRI started a three-year Executive
Post Graduate Programme in Dubai. A two-year, full-time
programme on Global MBA with two renowned schools
School of Economics & Management, Tongji University,
Shanghai, China and Weatherhead School of Management
at Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland, USA was
launched in 2013.
To disseminate quality management education to
executives working in different cities, the Virtual Interactive
Learning (VIL) arm of XLRI offers a portfolio of 12-month
consolidated programmes in different functional areas of
management.
A Postgraduate Certificate in Business Management was
started in 2002 and Postgraduate Certificate in Human
Resource Management in 2003. Postgraduate Certificate
in Logistics and Supply Chain Management was added
to the portfolio of satellite-based porgrammes in
2005. Postgraduate Certificate in Sales and Marketing
Management and Postgraduate Certificate in Retail
Management were also added in 2007.
The Master of Science Programme in Positive Organisation
Development and Change (MPOD), pioneered by the
Weatherhead School of Management at Case Western
Reserve University (Cleveland, USA), is offered in partnership
with XLRI Jamshedpur. The 15-month programme
specifically caters to the needs of executives and change
agents from around the world who face increasing
complexity and growing challenges of interconnectedness
in multicultural contexts.

(GENERAL MANAGEMENT)
FOR WORKING EXECUTIVES
Knowledge and continuous learning is the mainstay amongst

the best organisations of today. In order to satisfy this thirst
for knowledge XLRI has evolved a 15-month consolidated
programme in general management. The programme is
deisgned to introduce the practicing managers to theoretical
foundations of management and give them a holistic
perspective of business. The General Management Programme
not only equips the executives with techniques and strategies
to perform their task effectively but also trains them to
shoulder greater responsibilities.
The institute awards the Postgraduate Diploma in Management
[General Management] to the participants who successfully
complete all the requirements of this programme.
Eligibility
Candidates applying for General Management Programme
must hold a minimum of three-year Bachelors Degree from

Curricula
The AICTE recognised 15-month programme currently consists
of core and optional/elective courses specially designed for
fast track executives with work experience. They provide the
essentials of management education with the flexibility of
individual exploration in their chosen area of interest. The
entire programme spans for about 750 minimum and 850
maximum contact hours in class. The programme encourages,
supports and provides enough scope to the participants for self
study.
The programme starts with induction for initiating
the participants with XLRIs culture and refreshing the
fundamentals for better appreciation of the courses to follow.
Thereafter the participants undergo the core courses as
building blocks essential for management education. Currently
the core courses are categorised into seven major areas,
Finance, Marketing, Production, Operations and Decision
Sciences, Information Systems, Human Resource Management
and Organisational Behaviour, Economics and Strategic
26
Management, providing not only the essentials of management

but also the core functional skills. The core course curriculum
also includes soft skills workshop, industry interfaces and
integrated courses.
Successful completion of the core courses paves the way for
the elective courses, chosen by the participants, helping them
to further their areas of interest. Our effort has always been to
provide a wide range of electives with a cutting edge focus in
areas of relevance in grooming tomorrows business leaders.
These are organised into six functional areas of Finance,
Marketing, Production, Operations and Decision science, Human
Resource Management, Information Systems, Economics
and Strategic Management. Students are allowed to choose
electives from a list of offered electives. A minimum number of
participants should opt for a specific elective to be offered.
The programme and the courses, both core and optional, are
continuously restructured to make them contemporary to the
changing scenario in management education.
Field-Based Training
It is compulsory for all students to undergo three-month
field-based training after completing the 12-month campus
component. Majority of GMP students would join different
companies after completing the academic requirements.
During the first three months in those companies, the students
are required to do a project work and obtain a satisfactory
certificate from the company. Rest of the students are allowed
to fulfill the requirements by undergoing a project work under
the guidance of a faculty mentor. A student will be eligible for
the diploma only after obtaining the successful completion
certificate of the three-month, field-based training.
Academic Evaluation System

The institutes evaluation system is designed to continually
assess the students performance in relation to the required
standards of academic achievement. Apart from examinations,
a students performance is assessed on the basis of class
participation, preparation of periodic assignments, mid-term
tests and quizzes. As specified in the manual of policies, the
institute expects a minimum standard for the award of the
diploma.Transformation for Sustainable Superior Performance

CORPORATE PROGRAMMES
Management
Development
Programmes (MDPs)
XLRI has been a pioneer in developing
and offering short duration Management
Development Programmes (MDPs) with
a four decade enviable standing in the
committee of B-schools in India. These
MDPs have been designed keeping
in view the ever changing demands
on business/professional executives.
The programme content of even the
standard MDPs is constantly reviewed
and changes are made on a continuous
basis. The objective of the MDPs is to
help improve management systems and
practices in India and other countries in
South Asian Region by providing relevant
training to the executives of different
sectors of the economy operating at
different levels in the organisational
hierarchy. The participants are equipped
with the latest tools, techniques and
skills spanning different streams
of management such as General
Management, Human Resources,
Organizational Behaviour, Marketing,
Finance, Operations Management,
Information Systems, Strategic
Management and Industrial Relations.
A majority of these programmes are
held in the Jamshedpur campus of
XLRI, while a few of them are held at
prominent cities in the country. The
programmes conducted at XLRI are
residential. The participants are housed
in a modern complex of comfortable
air-conditioned twin-sharing rooms
at the MDP residence located in the
campus. The MDP residence has facilities
to accommodate about 110 executives
with a separate kitchen, lounge and
dining facilities. The calm, serene,
academic ambience of the campus and
34
its lush green surroundings are highly

conducive to study, reflect and learn.
Round-the-clock internet facility is
available on campus network based
on Gigabit Ethernet structured cabling
through high-speed bandwidth. The airconditioned computer lab with internet
connections provide opportunities for
the participants to stay connected with
the business world at large.
In-Company Training
Programmes
XLRI accepts requests from
organisations for conducting customised
training programmes for their executives
at different levels, and offers unique
programmes to suit the business
and developmental needs of client
organisations. Standard Modules from
regular MDPs are also combined and
adapted, wherever necessary, to suit the
requirements of client organisations.
The duration of these programmes
ranges from two days to one month
depending upon the variety, magnitude
and complexity of topics covered. While
some of these are conducted at the
institute, there are also many held in
the premises of the client organisations.
A total of 153 In-company Training
Programmes were conducted in 2014-15,
covering some 64 different topics from
different functional areas, and a little
over 3,700 executives from different
corporate houses participated in these
programmes in India and abroad.
Virtual Customised
In-company
Programmes
XLRI also offers virtual customised
training programmes for corporate
audience. The object of such

programmes is to provided corporate

Executive Coaching
Executive coaching is commonplace
in leadership development and as a
transition tool the world over. However
executive coaching is still a developing
field. It is seen as a viable lever in the
development of high potentials and
in the retention of top talent. XLRI
believes that executive coaching is most
successful as a three-way partnership
among coach, executive, and the executives

organisation.
The practice of executive coaching is
continually evolving and expanding and
as an institution, we plan to incorporate
new perspectives from varied disciplines,
specialties and backgrounds. The interdisciplinary nature of executive coaching is
a big challenge, but as an institution known
for its academic resources and distinguished
faculty we can collectively go even beyond
our Competency Model: psychology,
organisation development, business, and
coaching. Organisations that have used
XLRIs Executive Coaching Model have
reported that they would actually increase
use of executive coaching in the coming
years. With the increasing need for executive
coaching and its use and application, we
hope to address the issues arising out of this
developing interdisciplinary, professional
field for the mutual benefit of leaders,
organizations, and the people and societies
they serve.

Research & Publication

Research provides a major interface with the wider
academic and business world. It provides new theoretical
frameworks that enable re-assessment and refinement
of current practices and thinking. Groundbreaking
interdisciplinary research by the faculty and doctoral
students feeds directly into an enhanced learning
environment at the Institute and indirectly to a
wider audience of practicing managers and teachers
of management. It strengthens teaching efforts of
faculty by reflecting the frontier s of knowledge
in different management domains. By integrating
current developments of business environment with

fundamentals of subjects, the students develop a holistic
perspective of business and the challenges lying before
them. The diversity and depth of research and publication
activity undertaken at XLRI during 2014-15 is evident
from the report.

CAMPUS LIFE
AT XLRI
38
Life at XL is a vibrant blend of class lectures, study sessions,

management fests and competitive sports meets. The unique
XL culture springs from its closely knit student community. An
environment of caring and sharing is what makes this B-school
different. Despite a highly competitive spirit amongst students
to excel academically, the atmosphere outside the classroom
is one of great comradeships. A fresher is greeted with warmth
and is made a part of the student fraternity. An intense
academic rigour and an incredible phenomenon called the XL
culture together make up for a hectic yet heady concoction of
work and play. As all programmes are residential, the seniors
and juniors share an amicable relation. It is hence no surprise
that XLRI has the most extensive alumni network among all
Indian B-schools.
Team work is stressed throughout your life at XL. In fact the
environment of bitter rivalry among students that traditionally
prevails in B-schools has been removed through conscious
efforts by the institute. Instead, an atmosphere of collaboration
and cooperation has been carefully nurtured over the years and
this makes XLers excellent team players and leaders in every
organisation that they become a part of.
In addition to this, XLRI lays great emphasis on ethics and

on social responsibility.. The institute is highly regarded in
the corporate world for its efforts to instill these qualities in
tomorrows business leaders. Built into the curriculum are novel
concepts like the Village Exposure Programme that develop
social awareness by taking every student back to their roots.
For an Xler there is something happening at XL all the time.
There are conferences, seminars, guest lectures and workshops
where a student is exposed to diverse views, opinions and ideas
of many of the greatest minds in the world of business. Yet, a
good part of the XL life will not just be academic. There is the
marketing extravaganza MAXI fair, the annual management
fest; Ensemble and XL-IIMC sports meet.
A student, irrespective of his/her stream, always finds an
opportunity to explore every interest. Innovation is religion at
XL and a little initiative can take you a long way.
The formal and informal committees at XLRI take full
advantage of this freedom and involve the XLers in numerous
activities that helps one to experiment and explore new
management avenues.

small enterprise startups and a business development service
centre for existing SMEs. Its activities include research, database

Entrepreneurship Development
Centre
Functioning of the Entrepreneurship Development Centre (EDC)
as one of the centres of excellence of XLRI commenced in 2007
with the holding of a Management Development Programme
(MDP) on imperatives for small enterprises in the changing
global scenario.
In pursuance of its objective of promoting entrepreneurship
largely through education and research, a full-time, 6-month
Post Graduate Programme for Certificate in Entrepreneurship
Management (PGP-CEM) was launched during the academic
year 2009-10. This programme has been designed to provide
competency-based education to eligible candidates with a view
to promoting entrepreneurship in Jharkhand and rest of the
country.
The programme is pursued in such a manner as to encourage
critical and lateral thinking and integrate theory with practice.
Apart from a number of courses covering conceptual and
operational aspects related to execution of entrepreneurial
ventures (totalling around 360 contact hours), a project
formulation component, carried out under the mentorship of a
faculty member, constitutes an integral part of the programme,

contribution to upholding integrity and ethics, the JRD Tata

urgent need for ethics in business and the need to bring about an
appropriate culture in which it can thrive.

auspices of the JRD Tata Chair for Business Ethics, XLRI Ethics
Research Center (XLERC) is an innovative initiative spanning
across several cross-functional areas. It has been set up with the
objectives of serving as an ethics knowledge resource centre
where both industry and academia will be able to find resources
on business ethics and related issues under one roof. Additionally,
it will serve as a knowledge repository by disseminating
knowledge through Management Development Programs (MDPs)
& Management Training Programs (MTPs) on business ethics
for organisations and educational institutions through Faculty
Development Programs (FDPs). It will also facilitate research on
the status of ethics in corporate India in addition to researching,
designing and developing corporate ethics processes e.g.

will be conducted across three broad categories, viz, Basic Ethics
Research, Applied Ethics Research and Sponsored Industry Ethics
Research.
