Each SPJIMR Centre aims to improve the managerial practices of a specific professional community. Centres undertake research on key topics, conduct knowledge sharing and community building events, and provide specialised training and consulting. Centres also offer hands-on opportunities to SPJIMR students to learn and contribute to these communities of practice. Each Centre is managed by an Executive Director who coordinates a network of affiliated SPJIMR and external scholars, industry leaders, policy makers, and other community members.
