Course Curriculum

This Programme is designed to contribute towards managerial effectiveness for working executives to help them further their careers in management both in the corporate sector and public systems. As such, the programme seeks to build on the problem-solving skills developed through specialised experience in a particular functional area. Academic inputs provided bring out the inter-relationship among various functional areas as well as the techniques in functional areas other than those in which the participant has experience. The courses aim at providing a generalist's perspective which will enable the candidates to integrate their own function in the organisation's objectives and the larger environment. The participants are also trained in technical and functional skills such as accounting, finance, marketing, and production and are helped to develop their analytical and integrative skills so that they can define problems with clarity and adopt a methodology best suited to deal with them.

Focus of the curriculum is functional managers - specialists with a management orientation.

• Part I of the curriculum provides academic inputs primarily in functional areas like OB, Marketing, Accounting, Financial Management, Qualitative Technique and Economics, etc.
• Part II build on the input provided in Part 1 and provides state of the art knowledge in functional skills to empower the students in applying tools and techniques in handling varied challenges of their managerial roles.
• Part I and Part II are compulsory for all students. Part III provides an opportunity to students to acquire specialisations in the chosen functional areas (majors) by selecting courses from a wide assortment of contemporary optionals.
• During the 3 year programme, a student should atleast complete 32 subjects, 10 in first year, 10 in second year and 12 in third year. Opportunities are also provided to the students to complete more than 32 subjects, by holding optional classes on weekends, without any additional cost.
