INDIAN INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT, BANGALORE
Executive
General Management Programme (EGMP)
April 21 - November 25, 2007
For the practicing managers in
today's business environment, what has become most crucial is the ability to
manage the change. Meeting and measuring up to this emerging challenge is the
prime function of today's managers. To do this, they require keen perception,
flexibility and the ability to merge management theories into action plans.
EGMP has been designed for high
performing functional managers, who are looking for a transition from a
functional role to a general management role. EGMP is equally relevant for those
fast-track managers, who have recently taken charge of a general management
role, in terms of equipping them with the ability to cope with responsibilities
and issues at senior levels through formal management education. Participants of
EGMP get an opportunity to develop core business skills and competencies in
various functional areas; this would enable them to handle issues involving
cross-functional areas. The EGMP brings together participants from diverse
backgrounds, skills and experiences; and develops in them cross-functional
skills. Eminent faculty of IIMB covers the curriculum. EGMP participants involve
themselves actively in case studies and discussions, role-plays, games, etc.
They benefit immensely through continuous learning and networking with peers
from different backgrounds, during and after the programme.
Programme
Objectives
Introduce contemporary business
models and practices to the participants.
Develop competence in the
disciplines and skills associated with general management.
Provide guidance to think through
advanced business strategies with a global perspective.
Programme
Framework & Contents
Moving from delivering a
functional strategy to responsibility for business strategy requires a broader
perspective and additional knowledge. The EGMP prepares participants for this
challenging transition by focusing on: -
Environment, Competencies,
Functional Knowledge (in Key Business Areas) and Business Strategy
Environment - An
understanding of the fast changing environment and its impact on business is
crucial for success.
Competencies - Continuous
enhancement of individual and organizational competencies to enhance business
performance.
Functional Knowledge - An
appreciation of key concepts and activities within the primary management
functional areas and interconnections among them is essential for aligning the
functional areas with the business strategy.
Business Strategy - This
module integrates the Functional Knowledge gained earlier and allows the
managers to take decisions and develop strategies that are appropriate for
different environments.
Participants' Profile
