PROGRAMMES
a.
GLOBAL MBA Programme
The
highly rigorous one-year, full-time, Global MBA
program of the S P Jain Center of Management (S P
Jain) is designed to train individuals to work in
the new global economy. With over 900 teaching
hours, the course is equal to most two-year MBA
programs.
Today
companies prefer to recruit individuals who have
general management skills as well as domain
expertise. Managing a person's wealth could be quite
different from managing logistics in a global
company. It's an era of sharpening one's management
skills - an age of specialization. S P Jain's MBA
program offers nine cutting edge
super-specializations in:
-
Investment
Banking
-
Wealth
Management

Banking
Management

EXECUTIVE MBA (EMBA) Programme
The
EMBA is a two-year program designed to meet the
needs of academically qualified professionals who
wish to pursue an MBA degree while continuing with
the full responsibilities of their workplace. The
program requires serious commitment on part of the
individual. The course work is rigorous and
demanding; the result is an educational experience
which ranks among the finest available in the region
today.
Present
day emerging business challenges require corporates to create a reservoir
of versatile executives, having a strong blend of functional knowledge
along with a general management perspective. Formal management education
through a full-time MBA program can meet this need; but is not practical,
requiring executives to stay away from their work place for an extended
period.
Distance education programs and other similar options lack quality,
relevance to field realities, and hence, effectiveness.
The EMBA program at SPJCM is uniquely designed, to ensure it has the potential
to address the above shortcomings and bridge the gap by providing high
quality management education to practicing executives in the UAE and Singapore.
The EMBA alternative-week class structure means you can continue at your
job while you simultaneously apply your new knowledge to improve your
performance at work.
The EMBA at the SPJCM brings together some of the best business management
faculty and a select group of highly motivated professionals in an intensely
charged classroom experience. Working as a member of a team, on one
hand you will learn the latest business theories and practices courtesy
SPJCM's renowned faculty while learning about real-world business practices
from your peers - in the process, you develop life-long relations with
both.
The Unique Differentiators:-
SPJCM’s EMBA program is a result of continuous, meticulous upgrading
of the curriculum and is benchmarked against the best programs in the
world.
The curriculum reflects an exclusive focus on creating and nurturing
specialist managers and professionals in the fields of Finance, Marketing
and Operations. The program structure is designed in such a way that
it starts with a set of core courses on general management and builds
on a set of specialization courses, which provide an in-depth coverage
in a particular area.
This rich exposure to a wide variety of relevant courses in a particular
field (Finance, Marketing or Operations) ensures the development and
application of highly specialized skills and competencies in that particular
field.
Philosophic Underpinnings
SPJCM's
approach to its academic offerings has been to formulate details based
on definite and distinctive foundational premises. For the EMBA program,
these are:
-
The conventional classroom mode of learning can be leveraged significantly
through non-classroom activities
- a belief borne out of the successful practice of pedagogic approaches
at SPJIMR, India with their other programs.
-
Professional education can be best acquired by a two-stage process
of :
- acquisition of knowledge of theoretical concepts followed by
- application of the concepts to real life situations
-
Formal management education needs to sensitize participants to appreciate
that the onus of learning in the ultimate analysis is mainly on the
learner and that:
- the process of learning needs to be continuous throughout the career
and
- the sources and methods of learning are varied.
Program Design
The philosophic
underpinnings stated above are planned to be achieved through a range
of pedagogic inputs and learning themes built into the program design.
Application of knowledge and customization are the two fundamental features
of the architecture of the program. At every stage, participants will
be encouraged to introspect with a view to inculcating in them an ability
to use intellectual curiosity to handle real life problems and learn
from the outcomes thereof.
Program Structure
The EMBA
is a two-year program designed to meet the needs of academically qualified
professionals who wish to pursue an MBA degree while continuing with
the full responsibilities of their workplace. The program requires serious
commitment on part of the individual. The course work is rigorous and
demanding; the result is an educational experience which ranks among
the finest available in the region today.
Contact classes on the campus will be in one week modules and each
one week module will be followed by a one week off-contact period wherein
participants will be required to do assignments and study to reinforce
what they have learnt in the previous week.
The First Year
In the first
year of the EMBA Program, all students take the same courses together.
The selection and sequence of courses are pre-designed and interdisciplinary
perspectives define the program. The diverse inputs on Accounting, IT,
Marketing, Finance, Organizational Behavior, Economics, and Statistics
challenge EMBA participants to delve deeply into fundamental business
practices and the underlying forces that make them work.
The curriculum balances practical problem-solving with the development
of broad perspectives and conceptual skills. Participants learn to use
an array of academic disciplines and to analyze and understand key business
issues. Course work will prepare them to analyze situations, identify
problems, create solutions, and implement these within the context of
an organization.
The result is a program that combines the study of key conceptual frameworks
and application of those frameworks to current business issues.
The Second Year
In the second
year participants can opt to specialize and develop competencies in
one of these areas: Finance, Marketing or Operations. A list of courses
under each specialization is detailed in the program architecture later
in the brochure.
The program also organizes students into study groups of four to six
members, which work on assignments and present the same as a team. This
tight group format helps create life-long professional and personal
relationships among members. It also closely replicates the real world
of business, which operates through cooperation and team-work.
Faculty Resources
The hallmark
and strength of our Executive MBA Program is our faculty. They are among
the best, handpicked to teach in this program.
The EMBA faculty comprise a blend of renowned academicians with industry
experience in various functional and general management areas. Who can

are drawn from SPJIMR, SPJCM, and from leading Universities and B-Schools
around the world. Competent and experienced professionals from UAE and
Singapore are also invited to share their expertise and participants
thus benefit from the local industry experience.
Our professors continually update their courses to reflect the latest
developments in the field and the latest issues in the marketplace.
You can be sure that the skills you'll develop and the knowledge you'll
gain will provide you with the tools and confidence to face any business
challenge throughout your career.
Curriculum and Pedagogy
The program
consists of 30 courses totaling 44 credits. The course outlines, study
material, and assignments are given to the participants in advance.
Participants are expected to come prepared for the class with the pre
sessions readings. Every class session starts with an on line quiz and
the professor fine tunes his delivery based on the class performance
on the quiz. After the completion of a one-week module, participants
are given assignments to be completed and submitted when they come for
the next week module. During the off-contact period, participants are
expected to put in at least 15 to 20 hours per week, on assignments
and pre-readings.
The pedagogy followed in the EMBA Program include:
