SPJIMR and Michigan State University have declared their collaboration to create a world class center of excellence for management, leadership and operations (supply chain) and it will be established within the SP Jain campus in Mumbai.
Michigan State University is one of the top universities of the world and it has been recognized as top public research universities in the United States. Both the partners have formulated various strategies to develop the center. 
This center will focus on 3 basic fundamentals:
- Putting a focus on developing a world class facility for the senior management development and research needs of companies and organizations in Maharashtra and Gujarat
- A sustainable method to develop and grow Masters level student exchange to and from Mumbai and East Lansing, Michigan USA
- A vehicle for faculty from both institutions to collaborate in research and to accelerate the growth of centers of excellence in international business, family business, operations (supply chain) and Indian business commerce and industry as it operates at home and overseas
In the month of November, both the partners have planned to contact top Indian organizations and businesses to check as what are their immediate needs in terms of senior management development and pertinent research.
Therefore, after acknowledging feedback, the partners are looking forward to launch a management development calendar for 2012 in January 2012. They will also embark upon joint faculty collaboration upon key research areas, which should be fully operational by March 2012.
