PART-I: SALIENT FEATURES ACADEMICS AND ARCHITECTURE
1. PHILOSOPHY
The philosophy of SPJIMR is
aimed at influencing management practice through inculcation of Indian values,
culture, and ethos. Synthesis of theory and practice thus becomes the pillar on
which the edifice of educational approach at the Institute has been built up.
The PGEMP program emerged out of a need by industry to
hone the managerial competencies of non-MBA middle/senior managers and prepare
them for positions of general management responsibility as well as retain the
best talents that they possessed. In the context of the above need, the
philosophic underpinnings are
- Professional education is acquired by a two-stage process of
(i)
Acquisition of knowledge of theoretical concepts followed by
(ii)
Application of the concepts to real life situations
·
Conventional classroom mode of learning can be leveraged
significantly through integrating outside classroom activities.
- Formal management education needs to sensitize participants to appreciate that
1.
the onus of
learning, in the ultimate analysis, is mainly on the learner
2.
the process of
learning needs to be continuous throughout the career and
3.
the sources and
methods of learning are varied
·
Sponsoring
companies need to have a direct role in assisting the learning experience of
the participant and facilitating in enabling concepts to be practiced on real
time basis.
- Effective management education for practicing executives needs to be contextual and hence needs to be customized vis-à-vis the organization and the participant’s specific role.
2. PROGRAM ARCHITECTURE
2.1 Logic of architecture
The architecture keeps in view the need to have a holistic approach
involving a 3-pronged process of
(a) Imparting knowledge in functional areas like finance, marketing, operations,
business environment
(b) Imparting skills-e.g. Negotiation,
Decision-making
(c) Development of attitudes-e.g. Creativity, Time
management.
The KSA
(Knowledge-Skills-Attitude) model, which has been successfully employed
over the years and has enabled SPJIMR to churn out management graduates who are
refreshingly different from conventional B-schools, is inbuilt into the
architecture.
2.2 Architecture
The program consists of 4 phases spread
over a 21-month duration and involves 60 full days of contact at our campus in
Mumbai. The phase-wise pattern of the on-campus period is divided into contact
periods as under

off-campus period.
2.3 Program curricula
The
institute believes in updating the curriculum regularly. Currently the
program consists of 23 courses spread

2.4 Pedagogy
The
emphasis of the program is on developing in a candidate the ability to
translate theory into practice. We also aim at promoting an inquiring and
analytical mind, which proactively seeks the right knowledge, acquires
appropriate skills, and promotes right attitudes to develop capabilities needed
to manage enterprises in the 21st century. The PGEMP has been designed based on the above underpinnings and the pedagogy
during the on-campus and off-campus periods is Learning by experience cycle.
Learning in the executive Management Program
is experiential and involves a 4-stage ‘Learning by experience cycle’ involving
·
Stage-1
Have the experience
·
Stage-2
Examine and reflect upon what happened
·
Stage-3
make wider sense of experience by linking it with existing knowledge, pervious
experience, mental maps, models, theories
·
Stage-4
plan how to incorporate new knowledge into repertoire of behavior and body of
knowledge
2.4.1 On-campus pedagogy
a) Classroom sessions primarily for clarification,
synthesis, case discussions and analysis;
b) group-work learning wherein participants belonging to
different functional specializations/ different companies are put together to
work as a team;
c) Simulations/ games in various functional disciplines
enable very effective understanding of concepts;
d) Highly effective off-campus learning and assessment
mechanism involving submission of assignments through the internet.
e) Guest lectures by CEOs / eminent professionals from a
wide spectrum of industries.
2.4.2 Off-campus pedagogy
a)
Conceptual
exercises that test participants ability to assimilate concepts - qualitative
& quantitative assignments
b)
Application
exercises that enable participants to apply concepts to their
departments/company
c)
Secondary
Research & Capstone dissertation
2.5 Learning Hours
During
the Contact days, participants will put in about 10 to 12 hours of study time.
The intervening period of about 10 weeks between two Contact periods would be
spent in consolidating the class learning’s, submitting assignments (about 4 to
5 per week) and preparing for the next contact period.
The total learning hours over the
tenure of the program is estimated at over 1800 as under:
Learning hrs
On-campus
period
i) 3 day contact period
in Orientation phase 25
ii)
9 days/contact *6 contacts *10 hrs/day 540
Off-campus
period
iii)
self-study-assignments, readings, exam preparation,
Project preparation etc, 18 hrs/ week*70 weeks 1260

2.6 Mentorship
Role of Mentors
PGEMP course is
designed to impart not only class room education but also application of the
classroom to the actual job of the Mentee. That’s why the role of the mentor is
important because he/she is in the best position to guide the application as
well as to evaluate it. Therefore the role of the mentor is
- To periodically (Monthly) meet the Mentee to discuss his / her progress; concepts covered, application exercises done etc. A brief email from the mentor is expected every month.
- Mentor’s comments on curriculum and application exercises are most welcome any time.
- To fill in and opine on the progress of the mentee in the quarterly report on assignments.
- During the Customization Phase (Contacts 5 & 6) the participants have to work on a project based on a problem or an issue in the organization. The Mentor will assist the Mentee in identifying a suitable topic and guide the latter in completing the project work. Mentor will also make it convenient to attend the Dissertation Viva-Voce of the Mentee at the institute or at the organization, as a Panel Member for evaluation along with the Faculty Members.
3. MECHANISM FOR EVALUATION
3.1 Methodology
Evaluation is a continuous
process covering both the on-campus and off-campus periods. The emphasis is
more on learning by doing than memory-based examinations. Participants are
evaluated in each course on different components including:
·
Class tests
·
Individual off campus assignments
·
Group work submissions
·
Unannounced quizzes
·
Simulations
·
Comprehensive exams at the end of the phase
While calculating grades 40% weight is given to off-campus assignments
and 60% to work done on campus including exams, group work. The weightage for on campus
individual components of evaluation in each course is determined by course
faculty.
3.2 Credits
The PGEMP will
carry a total of 49 credits distributed over 4 phases as under:
No. of credits
A. Pre Foundation Phase 4
B. Foundation Phase 12
C. Integration Phase 15
D. Customization Phase 18
Total
49
The allocation of credits
for each phase is based on the number of learning hours for each subject in the
phase including the on campus and off campus learning hours. The on-campus
learning hours are based on the duration time for class sessions, group work,
simulations etc while the off campus learning hours covers the time required
for assignments, projects, and self-study.
