Capstone dissertation

Each participant from a basket of general management subjects would choose electives.

Participants are required to work on a project that has immediate relevance to the company and can be readily

implemented. Project is to be jointly selected by participant, his mentor/ dept head and SPJIMR. A Faculty guide will

be appointed to each participant by SPJIMR to guide him/her on the academic inputs.

Equal importance of and complementarity between Learning in the On-campus and Off-campus modes. E-learning

facilitates the learnings in the Off-campus mode.

During the On-campus residential contact sess ions, the morning classes will serve primarily as an opportunity for

Clarification, Synthesis and Integration of concepts previously studied by participants in the Off-campus mode.

Discussions, Group-work, Case Analysis, Simulation will form the agenda for the afternoons followed by pre-dinner

talks or similar social ly interactive sessions. Participants wi ll retire for the day after self-study time for the next day's

preparation.

During the 3rd phase of the program, the participants will select Elective subjects for deeper study and specialisation.

 A real-life problem or issue faced by the sponsoring company will be taken up as the dissertat ion topic/theme. The

participant will develop implementable plans. This will be approved and then evaluated for adequate efforts,

separately by the organisation and the Institute.

Participants will be permitted, provided the class space is available to attend the 2nd year PGDM classes at SPJIMR, if 

required for special topics.

 At every stage, participants wil l be encouraged to introspect and ask themselves: So what to me? and So what to my

firm? with a view to inculcating in them an ability to use intel lectual curiosity to handle real life problems and learn

from the outcomes thereof.

MentorshipSponsoring companies would need to appoint an internal Mentor for each/ group of participants during the tenure of 

the Executive Management Programme. A mentor is obviously someone who is senior to the participant and whom he

can look up to for guidance and inspiration to cope up with the demands of the program during the off-campus period

while at the same time doing justice to his job. The role of a mentor would be as under:

E-Learning support is visualised as a major aid during the Off-campus learning period and will consist of 

Summaries/explanations of concepts, Power point presentations of major topics, diagrams/illustrations,

quizzes/games/puzzles, s imulation exercises, Internet links to important and relevant sites for various topics,

self-test aids and to concerned Professors in the Institute as well as peer group participants.

classroom by application in real-life situations- thus learning is customised to a large extent.
