SPJIMR is a constituent of Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan (BVB). Its governance structure consists of Trustees and Executive Committee.

• The spectrum of activities at Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan is wide, in terms of scope, scale and geographical dispersion. The centres are managed by eminent personalities such as educationists, retired chief justices, etc. The governance structure is so devised as to give full freedom to them but at the same time control is exercised over infrastructure facilities and human resources recruitment above a particular level.
  
  
• The way we (SPJIMR) govern our affairs originate from one of our important values - "self accountability with academic freedom". The entire approach to governance at SPJIMR revolves around the working of its individual community member and that of the formal and informal groups.
  
  
• In such a system, every member owns up whatever he / she does, seeks help from others and assumes responsibility for outcomes of tasks he / she chooses to perform. At SPJIMR, as learning is the responsibility of a learner, desired outcome is the responsibility of the owner of a task. He or she is expected to perform within the ambit of institution's overall mission, philosophical approach and shared value system. As a result, what emerges is a formal and informal, non-hierarchical and distributed yet collaborative leadership culture amongst all community members.
  
  
• SPJIMR over the years has developed a strong and robust internal governance system. All the activities are managed through a number of interactive learning and coordinating mechanisms which judiciously mix formal and informal interactions and call for, individual centric as well as committee oriented working amongst Program Heads, SBU Heads, faculty members, administrative staff and participants of various programmes.
  
  
• A strong mechanism, that evolved over more than a decade and went on to become a routine part of the organisation function, was the Thursday faculty meeting that discussed and debated various issues, reviewed programs and activities and enabled exchange of ideas and encouragement to attend and discuss sessions of senior faculty, attending programs of one's choice in India or abroad, to ensure variety in programs.
  
  
• Such mechanism is strengthened by periodic group interaction of (a) Program Heads to discuss common issues, to learn from each other new pedagogic initiatives and knowledge sharing, (b) SBU Heads (in charge of traditional areas) to ensure coordination of all courses within the area, search for expert faculty on specific themes, industry integration and consequent matching of career aspirations of participants of programs with the dynamic requirements of industry for high quality, performing and committed human resource.
  
  
• Other interactive learning and coordinating mechanisms amongst faculty and participants of a few programs exist through participation of a small group of participants and two faculty members as facilitators in various administrative committees of ADMAP, a quarterly Senate Meeting amongst participants, faculty and the Hon. Dean/Director/Program Heads to discuss feedback on courses conducted, administrative difficulties faced and such other issues.
  
  
• At a broader level, such formal and periodic mechanism is supported by regular, continuous and informal group and collaborative working amongst the different internal stakeholders of the institute, including administrative staff.
  
  
• The formal structure for monitoring and coordinating all activities is through committees. There are four committees, whose tasks and membership are as given hereunder:
  
  
1. Strategic Review Committee, consisting of the Dean, Director, Joint Director and Advisor to give strategic directions, review institute's strategic working and to make policy decisions.
2. Academic Committee to review new programs, new courses, modifications to existing programs and courses, to ensure relentless pedagogic innovations and continue to emphasize beyond classroom learning. The members of the committee are:
3. Finance Committee to look after revenue, capital developmental and human resource budgets and their review, to approve all items of revenue, capital and development and manage resources effectively. The members are:
4. Purchase Committee to look after purchases of the institute. The members are:

The Committees are empowered to take decisions on all matters except buildings and infrastructure. All the important proposals are placed below the Strategic Review Committee and then to the Governing Council and subsequently for the approval of the Executive Committee, if required.
