On behalf of my colleagues in the MDP Committee, I thank you for visiting our website (www.iimahd.ernet.in/mdp) and for your interest in our Executive Education Programmes. You may please find the calendar of  programmes scheduled during June 2012 – May 2013 in our website.

 

At IIMA, we see Executive Education as one of our core activities as we strongly feel that it is essential for our symbiotic existence with the corporate world. Our MDPs act as a bridge between IIMA and the corporate world as they are meant for working executives who have a strong desire to learn, improve , and think differently and would like to keep themselves abreast of the latest concepts, ideas, tools, and techniques in general management as well as in different functional areas. As a participant in our programmes, most likely, you will find that your views and understanding of doing business are challenged leading to emergence of fresh ideas. 

 

Since most of our programmes focus on the enhancement of organizational capacity, we would require organizational sponsorship. However, a few programmes focusing on the development of individual capacity do not require such sponsorship.

 

At IIMA, you will have a unique experience of learning through the case method pedagogy. In the case method approach, you learn as much through discussions with your peers as from the instructors. Since cases are based on specific organizational situations with specific information on people, places, timing, and other relevant factual descriptions, you would need to figure out how to analyse the situation, what to infer, and what actions to take. While experiencing this process, you would start realizing the importance of bringing others’ perspectives into the analysis of a situation.

 

We have truly strong and dedicated faculty teams to deliver these programmes. Each faculty member has his/her own unique style. Needless to add, the faculty members would have high expectations from you in terms of preparedness for the class, quality of participation, and desire to learn and apply. All the sessions are taken by full-time faculty members of the Institute barring situations where specific inputs from specialists are expected to enhance the overall quality of the programme.

 

During your stay, you will have access to our library which is considered to be one of the best in the country. We also have a very well equipped gymnasiumwith modern amenities which you can use during your stay.   The stay and board facilities at our guest houses (Kasturbhai Lalbhai Management Development Centre and International Management Development Centre) have been consistently rated as excellent by the participants and we are continuously improving them.

 

Besides MDPs, we also conduct customized programmes for companies specifically tailored to suit their requirements. These are not included in our programme calendar. Usually, companies contact the Director or the concerned faculty requesting for specific programmes to be offered to them.

 

Once again, on behalf of the MDP Committee, I welcome you to IIMA and experience IIMA’s Executive Education Programmes.

Best wishes.
