About SPJIMR’s Executive Education Center
Its Executive Education Center caters to the education and training needs of the industry
wanting to upgrade the capabilities of their executive level employees in order to retain them and

EMP Program

An MBA-Equivalent program for working executives called EMP (Executive Management
Program). Under this program, “Partner Companies” sponsor their high potential executives
with more than 5 years experience for a program which lasts 7 consecutive quarters. Each
quarter the participants come for an on-campus contact program which lasts 9 days (10% of
their time). For the remaining 90% of their time, the participants go back to their workplaces.
When they are on campus, the focus is on learning and discussing concepts. When they go
off campus, the focus is on applying the concepts they have learnt to their jobs in their
companies – we call this “contextual customization”.

This 7 quarter program runs in 3 phases
o foundation phase focuses on learning the language and principles and tools of various
managerial subjects
o integration phase focuses on applications with cross-functional collaborative working
in the background
o customization phase focuses on learning to learn through elected self discovery and
also by undertaking a dissertation project

This EMP program is one of the only 2 “Executive MBA” programs from India which are
accredited by AMBA (Association of MBAs) of UK as being MBA-Equivalent and at par
with the 128 programs from 62 countries of the world.

MDP (Management Development Programs)
We do not currently conduct any “Open Enrollment” MDP programs. However, we do support
our Partner companies in custom designed inputs to support their strategic / business needs and
initiatives.
Consultancy / Research / Cases / Projects
We see this as being mutually beneficial to us as well as the industry.
