With these five pillars, we want to be a catalyst of management education in the process of change from the traditional business administration model to the business leadership model. The focus of management education has gradually evolved from `Administration' to `Management' and before fixating now on `Leader-ship' as a Leader is significantly more than an Administrator or Manager. Emphasizing on business leadership, we want to contribute towards the management education in India, which has evolved considerably over the last seven years and has emerged as a new field of study," states Prof. Avijit Banerjee, Director, GLF Business School.
