(Cambridge, MA) April 25, 2007 - Patni Computer Systems, a global IT services provider,
has announced its partnership with Boston College's Carroll School of Management to offer an
Executive Leadership Forum entitled "Managing Outsourcing in the 21st Century." The workshop
will host 20-25 participants on the Boston College (BC) campus from June 11th to 13th, 2007.
The Forum is for senior executives who are looking to get a complete perspective on outsourcing
and globalization. Taught by a combination of BC faculty, executives from Fortune 500
companies and Patni staff, this program will cover a broad range of topics related to the effective
management and implementation of an outsourcing and globalization initiative.
Sunil Chitale, Senior Vice President & Head of Manufacturing Practice at Patni, is looking forward
to the Forum, where he will serve as an instructor. "By combining the academic and commercial
perspectives on globalization, we're providing attendees with a unique learning experience," said
Chitale. "This Forum will be an invaluable asset to executives who want to leverage their
business to a higher level of success."
Dr. Mohan Subramaniam, Associate Professor of Strategy at the Carroll School of Management,
also an instructor at the Forum, thinks of this program as a distinctive opportunity to understand
how outsourcing provides a critical role in gaining competitive advantage. "The fundamentals of
managing organizations are changing because of today's global environment," said Dr.
Subramaniam. "There is a pressing need to reassess how organizations create and deliver value
to their customers. This forum will highlight the significance of outsourcing to this process and its
intricate links to a firm's competitive strategy."
Each participant in the Executive Leadership Forum Program will receive a Certificate of
Outsourcing from BC's Carroll School of Management on completion of the course. For more
