Industry - Participant Need
The rapid growth of business has presented the need for a very large number of senior middle level management professionals in most companies. They are required to have a general management perspective with focused domain expertise on the businesses they serve. There exists a huge gap between the current demand for such professionals and the availability.
The PGPM programme is best suited for working professionals to add value to their careers in a short time and also helps accelerate their growth. The programme is rigorous, challenging and intense. It encourages learning beyond classroom discussions and the intense process prepares participants to analyse situations quickly and apply skills to real business situations. The programme also seeks to draw on the experience of the participants with the objective of enabling management roles. Profile mapping helps participants identify roles and good positions at the next level. One learns to combine one's industry expertise with the fundamentals of management that one is exposed to over the year. Successful leaders and entrepreneurs regularly visit the campus to provide their perspectives on the ever-changing dynamics of the industry.
