The Indian Institute of Management-Kozhikode (IIM-K) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Suzuki Motor Corporation (SMC) to strategise and prepare a Vision 2050 document for charting the future prospects of the global automotive giant headquartered in Japan.
Prof. Debashis Chatterjee, Director, IIM-K, and Mr. Kinji Saito, director and senior managing officer, Suzuki Motor Corporation, were the signatories to the landmark MoU signed in Kozhikode recently, a press release said here on Wednesday.
The collaboration will witness IIM-K linking the greatest Indo-Japan success story (Maruti Suzuki India Limited - 1981-2022) ever scripted, with a strategic roadmap for business imperatives beyond mobility for the next 30 years for SMC. The research study to be undertaken by IIM-K will endeavour to unravel the secret behind the success of SMC in India, the company’s impact on Indian economy as well as the larger Indian society, and the reasons behind its sustained dominance in the Indian market.
