More on IIPM

In one of my earlier postings(dated Dec 26,2006), I had written about IIPM and their somewhat misleading ads. Come new year and IIPM has gone full page ads in almost all national dailies. The Business Line dtd Jan 11, 2007 also carries one full page ad (page 5). The ad continues to carry the MDP Calendar of the IIPM-Planman Chief-Executive Forum(Calendar 2006-07,Asia). It is not clear why one should give a calendar including 2006 when we have already entered 2007. And the first entry in the program shows a date of December 05 against it. Out of a total of 20 programmes, only 12 pertain to the year 2007 and 11 were for 2006 and 1 for 2005. What is the intention of IIPM? To get more enrollments for the programs in which case Calendar 2007-2008 would have been sufficient or to underscore their theme of “Dare to think beyond IIMs” in which case any dirty trick is okay?
