Year after year, it strives to provide its students with an education and experience they will never forget. Last year also witnessed the achievement of a number of milestones that continue to make IBA stronger and better. That is why IBA remains the number one choice for students. IBA has taken huge strides in the academic programs and support it offers. In 2013-14 IBA launched the Bachelors of Science Programs in Accounting and Finance and the Social Sciences. It also institutionalized the IBA Summer School, providing students more credit and training options. This year also saw the establishment of the Cowasjee Writing Center, committed to assisting students in all programs to improve their skills and performance. The initiation of the facilities in the newly built Tabba Academic Block has given students access to one of the largest computer labs on campus to facilitate research and innovation. While it offers a challenging and rigorous academic program, IBA is also dedicated to other aspects of its students’ lives. IBA students now use the facilities at the recently inaugurated Student Center giving them access to a fully equipped gymnasium, Amphitheater, cafeterias, student lounges and indoor games. Not forgetting outdoor sports, IBA students now also enjoy a tennis court, football field and cricket pitch facilities. As IBA transforms, its community becomes stronger and more cohesive. The set up of the Alumni Center is building a deeper connection with previous IBA students, providing current students support and mentor-ship. With the revamping of student housing, more students are creating lasting memories and connections at IBA. Students are now able to interact with respected faculty members from all over the world with the launch of several lecture series and the opening of a state-of-the-art faculty residence facility. Through constant innovation, perseverance and relentless pursuit of excellence, IBA truly has developed ideas for a better tomorrow. Message of the Dean & Director 3 Message of the Dean & Director 2014-15 marks the culmination of the five year Strategic Plan for IBA launched in 2009. To reiterate, the four main pillars of the strategy were: (i) Improved Governance and Internal Management (ii) Expansion of Physical Infrastructure and up-gradation of Technology (iii) Faculty Development and Quality Assurance (iv) Community Outreach With the blessings of Allah S.W.T., and the hard work of all members of the IBA community and its supporters, we have been able to accomplish most of the goals and sub-goals we had set for ourselves. In Pakistan, it is quite common to make plans and strategies for the future, but it has always been difficult to execute and reach the outcomes promised by those plans. IBA, one of the country’s leading schools of business, has demonstrated that it is possible both to design ambitious strategy and to deliver results on time. The deteriorating conditions in Karachi have not been entirely conducive: target killings, hartals, strikes, transport wheel jam, and other disturbances have all hampered the implementation of the five-year plan. We could have taken the easy way out and blamed these extenuating circumstances, using them as an excuse for not achieving our goals. But we wanted to show the rest of Pakistan that when there is a will, there is a way to get things done. You always have to create and find the space to move forward. It was by no means easy, but regular monitoring, timely actions to correct our course, and consistent oversight helped us accomplish this difficult task. I wish to thank the donors, parents, teachers, students, staff, the Board of Governors, the Higher Education Commission, and the Government of Sindh, without whose support the results of the strategic plan could not have been achieved. We have spent this past year developing a strategic plan (strategy 2020) that will take us through the next five years. It will not be easy, but I have faith that with perseverance, hard work, and the will to move forward, we will realize the objectives we set for ourselves today.
