ISB's EFPM

  • For: Senior working professionals
  • Duration: 3 Years
  • Location: Hyderabad, Mohali

The Executive Fellow Programme in Management (EFPM) is a doctoral-level programme taught in an executive format that will provide a portfolio of skills for professionals, and faculty without a doctoral degree, who want to increase their understanding of business theory, combine innovative business theory and practice and learn to solve complex business problems through cutting edge research methodology.

The objective of this doctoral-level programme is to provide a sound theoretical understanding of research methodology to solve complex issues in business.

Who is it for?

THE EXECUTIVE FPM PROGRAMME attracts experienced business leaders and faculty without doctorate who have the passion, ability, and intellectual curiosity to pursue a terminal degree.

The Executive Doctorate in Business Administration level programme is for a select group of senior professionals who hold a bachelor’s degree and have extensive work experience but who do not want to leave their careers to pursue a full-time PhD or FPM. Individuals who are attracted to the executive DBA equivalent programme often seek to deepen their understanding of latest business theory and apply it to address modern challenges of today’s dynamic business environment. Others pursue it as a means of moving into a career in higher education or to increase their expertise for a career in business research and consulting.

Why Executive EFPM?

THERE ARE VERY FEW OPTIONS FOR BUSINESS EXECUTIVE EDUCATION BEYOND THE MASTER’S DEGREE LEVEL. This is especially true for professionals who want to seek advanced education while still fully employed. Senior managers who participate in executive education often want to further their education beyond the MBA or specialised business master’s degree.

The growing complexity of managing a business in a rapidly changing business environment requires skill-sets that exceed the MBA or executive MBA level.

While the key focus of this executive DBA equivalent programme is senior managers who want to advanced their career in industry or consulting, it is also aimed at professionals who want at some stage of their career to move into higher education.

There is extreme shortage of doctoral level faculty in business schools as identified by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) which is the world premier accrediting body of business schools. Offering doctoral level programme for senior managers helps in addressing the faculty needs of business schools and to enhance their teaching capacity in such institutions. 

Overview

THE EXECUTIVE FELLOW PROGRAMME IN MANAGEMENT (EFPM) offers a combination of both theoretical and applied research methodology courses. It is a three-year (15 three-day residencies), cohort program consisting of 15 taught courses, an introductory research project, and the final dissertation.
