Role of Mentor

Each participant is required to have one mentor identified. Ideally the mentors should be the father or a close relative who is actively involved in the management of the family business.

Since the participant is going to spend three weeks a month at the business, it is critical that mentors spend quality time in guiding and helping him/her to co-relate the learning with the business.

There are three mentor's meets during the programme and the mentors are expected to participate in these.

The involvement of mentors is extremely crucial and will have a direct impact on the learning and benefits from the programme.

Role of Organisation

The participant is expected to take the help of executives of the organization, while working on assignments. These assignments will help students perceive their businesses in a systematic way. The concerned executive handling a specific function can provide inputs about the specific business context.

On the other hand, the participants are expected to share their learning with their mentors as well as key executives, thereby bringing the management concepts to the organisation and enriching the collective effectiveness.
