Should IIMs go global ?

Hi All,

With the latest talk on the issue about the globalization of the IIMs, HRD Minister Mr. Arjun Singh said (in the news in todays, 18th Jan, The Times of India News Paper, Delhi Edition) that they can't go global as of now because they are not independent companies and are made bye state government. They do enjoy the freedom of autonomy but doesn't enjoy enough rights to go global and set up one such IIM in Singapore. Follow this link for the news.

Just a passing thought, why can't IIMs go global ? Globalization will not only increase the level of the existing IIMs by giving them the international competition but may also aid financially and even in some other aspects. Globalization is certainly a good option for the development and hence I feel that even if some new rules etc have to be written in the law for this thing the government shouldn't hesitate for the same. What do you all think about the issue ?

Bbye
Arun
