The Institute
Indian Institute of Management, Bangalore (IIMB) was established in 1973 by the Government of India as a center of excellence in management. Today IIMB has built a formidable reputation and is ranked amongst the top business schools in the Asia Pacific region. IIMB offers post-graduate and doctoral programs and executive education for senior and middle management.
The major programs and activities of the Institute are: • Post Graduate Programme in Management
• Post Graduate Programme in Software Enterprise Management • Post Graduate Programme in Public Policy and Management • Fellow Program in Management
• Executive Education Programmes • Research, Seminars and Workshops • Consultancy Services
Background
Managing in today’s dynamic and competitive environment calls for two critical capabilities from business managers - the need to be functionally competent in a global context and the ability to set and drive organizational agenda for growth and performance. This calls for functional mastery combined with personal leadership. The objective of this program is to allow participants to manage this dual development agenda.
Objective
This advanced management programme aims to achieve the following objectives:
• Understand the existing concepts and practices in critical relevant functional areas and then challenge the assumptions in the future envisaged contexts
• Enable the participants to integrate the functional knowledge and experience with organizational perspective and therefore appreciate the systemic whole
• Help participants reflect and examine their personal leadership processes
• Help participants assume leadership as well as change management roles in their organizations.
Program design
The program design will consist of five modules including one international module reflecting the five distinct competency needs of tomorrow’s leaders.
Module 1: Personal mastery
One of the primary requirements of effective leadership is a superior understanding of oneself and honing personal and emotional resilience. This module would be delivered using experiential learning as a pedagogy including an outbound training programme, reflection sessions, and personal development and envisioning sessions.
Module 2: Functional leadership
The new business environment in India values thought leadership over just positions of authority and responsibility. It therefore becomes imperative for the business leader to enrich her/ his knowledge base with the latest tools and research on the various functional aspects of business management. This module would be delivered in face-to-face interactive class-room sessions using case studies, lectures, exercises, simulations, and experience sharing sessions. Typical topics include (but not restricted to)
• Strategic Finance and Cost Management: Valuation, Mergers and Acquisition, Performance Measurement Systems, Financial Risk Management
• Marketing Management: Market Driven Strategy, Customer Management, Brand Management, Research for Marketing Decisions, Metrics for Marketing Performance • Operations Management: Operations Strategy, Supply chain strategy, Constraints
management
• HR Management: Understanding your people strategy and process, Leading and managing change, Developing a culture, Building and nurturing talent
• Strategy: Managing the Firm Strategically, Analyzing Industry Structural Change, Analyzing Competitive Position & Dynamics, Managing multibusiness firms, Joint Ventures and Alliances, Strategy Execution
Module 3: Strategic decision making
For any professional learning to be effective, it is imperative that they need to be put to use in experimental conditions. AMP will provide two opportunities for the participants to put their functional leadership learning to use – a business simulation game (4-8 weeks played on the internet) and a business project. The business simulation game would be played in groups to enable participants integrate their functional learning; the group business project would include live projects of importance to any of the participants’ organizations, with other group members acting as internal consultants.
Module 4: Global business awareness
Awareness and sensitivity to global business challenges are critical competencies for today’s successful leaders. The global business awareness module provides participants with exposure to various forms of internationalization, global/ international/ transnational/ multi-domestic strategies, creating and managing global supply chains, managing international strategic alliances, locating global activities (including issues relating to offshoring), cross-cultural sensitivity, and issues in international finance (including different reporting standards). This module would be held in an international location and IIMB decision on the location is final. In the event of any difficulty in arranging international travel, this module would be delivered at IIMB campus.
Module 5: Strategy and Leadership
To enable effective transfer of learning from cognitive appreciation to implementable action, the strategic leadership module prepares the participants to reflect on their learning/ experience, create their own signature styles of leadership, and define for themselves certain boundaries of action. Issues relating to managing workplace diversity, affirmative action, corporate governance, corporate social responsibility, business ethics, and conservation of natural environment would be the focus of this module. Learning and reflection on these issues would be enabled through interactive classroom sessions, panel discussions, and field visits/ invited talks from current thought leaders.
