PGPMAX
Admissions 2014
POST GRADUATE PROGRAMME IN MANAGEMENT FOR SENIOR
EXECUTIVES (PGPMAX) is an Executive-MBA level programme in Management that
allows senior executives to sharpen their management skills with minimal
disruption of their work schedules. This programme is particularly useful to
senior executives who are unable to take a sabbatical from work to attend the
full-time programme.
A unique aspect of the programme, is the collective
professional experience of its participants, which enriches the educational
environment. Participants from diverse functional domains across industries
such as NGOs, SMEs and large businesses share their perspectives making for a
very vibrant class room environment.
Executive MBA programmes are tailored specifically
for senior audiences and are quite distinct from full-time and part-time MBA
programmes. The programme is designed on a schedule that minimises disruption
of work and personal pursuits, and does not impose any locational constraints.
Participants can continue to work while also attending this programme.
Participants fly in from many cities worldwide to attend classes. Typically,
they will be on campus for a week of classroom learning every sixth week.
PGPMAX is rigorous and challenging -- the seven-day
schedule includes full days of teaching with busy evenings consisting of guest
lectures, projects, and group work. Examinations, quizzes and other
interventions are part of the one-week term. Participants are required to stay
on campus, or at a suitable accommodation arranged by the ISB, through these
seven days.
*Refer to programme calendar for dates.
