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.
