Management Training
Courses: FAQ
How does IIM's executive
education work?
- Each participant has an advisor as opposed to a teacher. The
advisor's role is to help facilitate the participant's professional
learning and development. In part, the advisor serves as a guide, coach
or mentor. Sometimes the advisor will validate participants’ management
thinking and sometimes s/he will act as an opposition party who will
critique, question and debate their management decision making. In
either case, this is done to help the participants test and develop
their critical thinking, decision making methods and communication
skills.
- All courses are a combination of seminars and presentation
materials. They provide a summary of the essential concepts, a selection
of practical case-based readings, and project work with emphasis on
critical thinking, decision making and managerial planning.
- There are no Q&A tests, instead the participant is assigned a
real-world application project such as developing a new strategy or a
business plan for a company of participant's choice.
Course Delivery Method
- Customization Request: Agreeing with the advisor on the learning
focus, course expectations, type of industry/company and assessment
project

- Project Assignment: Real-world best practices application (Knowledge

How Long Does It Take?

takes 3 months.
- For online distance learning each course takes 2-4 week to complete. A general management program
takes 6-12 months. The time variation depends on the participant’s
knowledge and experience.
