The PGDSM MIT program provides an opportunity
for both young graduates and experienced professionals to develop into
global IT managers. The course curriculum is spread across five terms
that combines the best in general management, systems management and IT
solutions inputs from SPJIMR and Virginia Tech.
The courses under this program cover diverse
academic areas such as finance, marketing, operations, strategic management
and information systems. A case based approach stimulates analytical thinking
across topics ranging from market entry and expansion to global culture
and integration. These, coupled with courses like software quality management
and software engineering, enable participants to inculcate a holistic
problem solving mindset.
The participants also get an experience of working
in various industry sectors, during their autumn's project and get to
catch a sneak peek at facing real life business challenges as managers
and consultants. The final term cements the learning curve of the participants
through a thesis presentation and elective courses before they move into
their corporate careers.
The unique teaching approaches adopted by the
faculty from SPJIMR along with the extensive knowledge and world class
experience brought in by the faculties from Pamplin College of Business
and Virginia Tech makes the PGDSM MIT curriculum one of the best amalgamations
of Eastern and Western pedagogies.
Besides the rigorous academic curriculum, the
participants are put through personality development exercises both in-campus
and outbound (DOCC, Personal Growth Lab) ensuring their development into
team leaders and people's managers.
