Course programme
The core curriculum of PGDM develops essential skills and knowledge in the areas of economics, organisation and behaviour, finance and accounting, management control, marketing, human resource management, information systems and quantitative methods.
After successfully completing the first year requirements, the students undertake summer training of up to ten weeks at the managerial level. Students analyse and offer solutions to specific managerial problems under the guidance of a faculty member as well as a manager in the host company.
Second year students structure their studies to suit their aptitude and interest. They usually develop one or two major areas of expertise by selecting courses from the 60 to 80 electives that the Institute typically offers. Students willing to delve deeper into a topic that is not covered by the elective courses can do a term paper under faculty supervision.
The method of instruction varies. Case studies, lectures, group and individual exercises, class projects, student presentations, simulation games etc., are used in different courses. Many courses bring in industry experts to integrate classroom learning with industry practice.
The purpose of an organization is to create and retain customers. This can ensure long term profitability and growth. Marketing is the business function which is directly charged with this strategic task of customer creation and customer retention.
In the context of increasingly complex and dynamic business situations, a major challenge in any organization is the efficient and effective management of its processes and products/services. Managing processes and products involves design, production and delivery at a low cost while maintaining high quality and customer satisfaction. Operations Management focuses on these managerial issues that are very critical to the success of any type of organization. Presently, the major thrust areas are Supply Chain Management, Project Management, Service Management, New Product Development, Operations Strategy and Quality Management.
Quantitative tools and techniques are critical facilitators in managerial decision making. In this pursuit, fields like operations research, mathematics and statistics play a very critical role. Inputs received from courses in these fields help the students in assimilating the managerial concepts they receive in courses offered by other functional areas like Finance, Marketing and Behavioral Sciences, among others, in addition to Operations Management.
The faculty members of the group are involved in state-of-the-art research in various areas of operations management and quantitative methods. The group offers several elective courses focusing on recent trends in operations management and quantitative techniques. It also has a strong presence in consulting and in offering management development and in-company training programmes.
