Greater Noida: Birla Institute of Management Technology
(BIMTECH), a leading AACSB-accredited business school in India, has announced a series of Faculty Development
Programmes (FDPs) focused on emerging areas of finance research, generative
artificial intelligence, and technology-driven human resource management. FDP
Conducted in online mode, these programmes are designed to equip faculty
members, researchers, doctoral scholars, and industry professionals with
future-ready academic and research capabilities.
As
higher education and industry continue to evolve rapidly under the influence of
digital transformation and AI-led innovation, BIMTECH’s FDP series aims to
bridge the gap between conceptual understanding, practical application, and
research excellence.
The first programme,
titled “Qualitative and Quantitative Research Methods in Finance,”
was conducted from 1–3 May 2026 in online mode. The 15-hour intensive FDP
was designed to strengthen publication-oriented research capabilities in
finance and covered areas such as qualitative research design, coding
strategies, thematic analysis, Event Study Methodology, text analysis of
corporate disclosures, and advanced time-series modelling using ARIMA and
ARCH/GARCH frameworks. The programme also provided guidance on publishing in
top-tier finance journals, along with sessions on the responsible and ethical
use of Artificial Intelligence in research.
Additionally,
BIMTECH is conducting an FDP on “Rethinking HR in the Age of Technology”
from 4–8 May 2026. Scheduled daily online mode, the 12-hour programme
will focus on how technology is transforming HR practices, organizational
capability development, and HR research. The sessions are designed to provide
faculty members, researchers, and professionals with conceptual clarity and
deeper academic understanding of technology-enabled HR systems and emerging
workforce trends.
BIMTECH
will also organise a two-day online FDP on “Data, Decision Intelligence, and
Learning in the Generative AI Paradigm” on 16–17 May 2026. The
programme will explore the growing role of Generative AI in academia,
analytics, and decision-making. Participants will gain exposure to Large
Language Models (LLMs), Prompt Engineering, Retrieval-Augmented Generation
(RAG), AI Agents, predictive thinking, natural language processing, and
AI-powered data analytics and visualization. The FDP will include hands-on
sessions with tools such as Claude, Replit, Gamma, and other emerging AI
platforms, enabling participants to understand real-world AI applications
across teaching, research, and business environments.
