BVIMR/FDP/ / 2014-15 07th July 2014
Seasonal Greetings from BVIMR, New Delhi,
This is to invite nominations of your faculty to participate in the Faculty Development Program on Multivariate Analysis using SPSS and Structural Equation Modeling – Amos on August 16-18, 2014 at BVIMR Campus at New Delhi.
Bharati Vidyapeeth University Institute of Management & Research (BVIMR), an ISO 9001: 2008 and ISO 14001:2004 certified institute, is one of the pioneer institutes of management education in New Delhi. BVIMR is a constituent unit of Bharati Vidyapeeth Deemed University, Pune which is a NAAC reaccredited Grade ‘A’ University. BVIMR constantly strives for attaining its vision of “Leadership in Management Education through Innovation and Excellence”.
The dedicated efforts put in by the faculty members, students, alumni, parents and the encouraging support from the industry has enabled BVIMR to be ranked as one of the “Top 50 B-Schools in India” and “Top 5 B-Schools in Delhi” by Business India, Business & Management Chronicle and Careers 360.

The Institute is recently honored with “B-School Leadership Award” by STAR NEWS for being innovative, modern and industry related in curriculum in Marketing, Advertising and Marketing Communications.
Increasingly, teachers and institutions are becoming more interested in research-based learning. The payoff is more motivated students, more stimulating classroom discussions, better prepared graduates – and a renewed joy in teaching and learning.
This FDP focuses on helping participants to write research papers and teach effectively using Financial Econometrics. The technical aspect of financial econometrics is very important in the real life situation since it deals with complex problems and large numbers of data set. The available econometrics tools sometimes do not utilize properly, particularly due to lack of knowledge and understanding of the technique. The duration of the FDP is three days.
The FDP resource persons are eminent professors from IIM and top Business School.
The FDP will enable the participants to appreciate the complexities involved in the Structural Equation Modeling, especially in the area like research. It includes techniques such as Factor analysis, path analysis and regression all represent special cases of SEM and its applications in the Various fields of Management.
The FDP fee is Rs. 3000/- for faculty members from academia and research scholars enrolled in a full time Ph.D program from university. This is a non- residential FDP and the course fee includes the participation to the FDP, material, tea/coffee/snacks and lunch. All registered participants who attend the FDP will be given a certificate of participation. The nomination form is enclosed herewith. Please follow the instructions carefully regarding the payment and the address to which the DD is to be sent. All correspondences relating to the FDP send a mail for a query, information or nomination todrsajeevan@gmail.com or contact Dr A Sajeevan Rao at 9711480764 or Mr.Atul Kumar at 9953052770.

DirectorPlease Note: Lady Faculty/Research scholars participants from outside Delhi will be provided free lodging facility in campus itself. There are limited seats available; it shall be served on first come first serve basis.
FACULTY DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMME
ON
“MULTIVARIATE ANALYSIS USING SPSS AND STRUCTURAL EQUATION MODELING – AMOS ”
BACKGROUND
Indian management schools (affiliated to universities and/or approved by AICTE) are constantly improving their efforts to add value to their students by quality education. Quality education is a consequence of competent faculty, motivated students and an appropriate pedagogy.
With the emergence of new technologies and innovative business strategies, the entire world has shrunk to a global hub. In this era, managing business has become very challenging for the managers as they encounter complex problems and have to provide solutions for the same. To make appropriate decisions, managers need to analyze the high frequency data. The analysis of such data requires the usage of advanced and sophisticated techniques which are provided by the financial econometricians.
In SEM, interest usually focuses on latent constructs--abstract psychological variables like "intelligence" or "attitude toward the brand"--rather than on the manifest variables used to measure these constructs. Measurement is recognized as difficult and error-prone. By explicitly modeling measurement error, SEM users seek to derive unbiased estimates for the relations between latent constructs. To this end, SEM allows multiple measures to be associated with a single latent construct.
A structural Equation Modeling is an active field of integration of various fields of management.
FDP OBJECTIVES
Appreciate the complexities involved in the financial world of teaching
Ø The FDP aims at providing research stimulus to keen learners comprising scholars, academicians and practitioners.
Ø To exchange views and share knowledge so as to build a road map for overall financial development.
FDP PARTICIPANTS
The FDP is designed for management teachers, trainers and researchers working in management schools, universities, colleges, professional institutes, staff training colleges, training centers of industrial organizations, and staff training institutes of central and state governments, which teach management.
The major focus of the FDP is on upgrading the teaching, training, and research skills of management teachers – especially those teachers who did not have an opportunity to acquaint themselves with recent developments in teaching and research methods. The FDP will enable participants to develop competence in management research and pedagogy.
