28th Management Education Programme
at IIM Ahmedabad
November 2, 2003 - February 28, 2004

Programme Design:

MEP is an intensive 16-week programme. Participants learn to develop strategic business plans to move forward and manage discontinuities in a fast changing scenario for given business situations. They analyze micro and macro environments and the strategic position of the organization. A study of the strengths and weaknesses and the processes of the organization are carried out to get a complete picture of the challenges faced. The programme emphasizes not only on formulating a strategy but also on evolving a plan for implementation.

The programme deals with all disciplines of management such as: accounting, decision analysis, operations management, organization behaviour, marketing, finance, and business policy. Special topics such as management of innovation, corporate restructuring, BPR, and role of financial markets will also be covered. A significant part of the pedagogy material brings the best practices in international setting. In addition, participants are subject to a managerial laboratory where they explore their own identities and roles as managers and human beings.

For:

• Young professionals who have shown potential in their functional areas but do not have formal management education or young owner-managers who would like to enhance their managerial talent through a formal process of education would find MEP very useful. The programme is aimed at changing the mindset and outlook of participants while giving them the conceptual framework and managerial skills needed to lead the organization. Young executives in organizations who have been identified as potential leaders for major segments of the organization would also gain significantly from this programme.
