IMBA Learning Goals

The IMBA program follows the same overall philosophy as MBA program, but is of a shorter duration on account of the participants being experienced managers, and because of it, necessarily with fewer required credits. Three out of four learning goals of the IMBA program overlap with those of the MBA program. The IMBA program particularly emphasizes transforming students to general managers and thus allowing them to function effectively in a senior position. The program develops an ability to make strategic decisions based on multi-disciplinary perspectives. The emphasis is on strategic change and implementation, together with change management in dynamic and global environments. The IMBA’s learning goals and associated learning objectives are described below.
