Course Introduction

In today’s highly competitive environment, it is crucial to have a thorough understanding of the multi-dimensional issues faced in managing a business or department effectively. This “10-Day MBA” will focus on issues and dilemmas faced in today’s changing world.

Training Methodology

The 10-Day MBA training course will be delivered in an interactive and fast-paced manner, combining several learning mechanisms. There will be some formal exposition of tools and techniques in each of the two modules.
