Management of Globally
Distributed Work
April 15, 2007 - December 20, 2008
Recent waves of globalisation
have created new markets and business opportunities that few could visualize
earlier. These, however, come with challenges and risks even fewer managers are
familiar with. Companies today have to prove that they are, and will continue to
remain, globally competitive if they are to be able to carry their clients,
investors and talented high performing employees with them into the future.
This, in essence, translates into the ability of managers to have a global
mindset, address global markets, and manage globally distributed human resources
and global financial contexts. These have to be achieved even while following
basic principles which underpin a company's vision and strategy that need to be
interpreted in differing settings globally.
The Target
Market
The Advanced Masters Program
in Management of Globally Distributed Work (AMPM) is an advanced management
education program for executives, who as a part of their job, need to develop
markets, sources, and manage business units around the globe. The program is
also for professionals who are being groomed to transition from technical and
delivery positions to managerial, business-consultancy, and customer-facing
positions in different regions of the world. The prospective student of the
program is typically a professional or an MNC executive who is being prepared
for senior levels in a company with existing or planned global operations and
strategies, and who may be assigned to handle worldwide operations at
headquarters or at locations in Europe, North America, and Asia.
it is expected that executive
students for this program will be primarily from major Indian and Asian software
and technology houses and divisions of multi-nationals located in India and
China. The recruitment will include company-sponsored as well as open
admissions.
