 The Post Graduate Programme in Management for
Senior Executives (PGPMAX) is designed especially
for senior managers, whose busy schedules do
not permit them to pursue a full-time programme.
It is equivalent in content and rigour to an Executive
MBA programme and is designed on a schedule
that minimises disruption of work and personal
pursuits. PGPMAX is arguably the first of its kind in
India.

As depicted, Executive MBA programmes are

tailored specifically for senior audiences and are
quite distinct from full-time and part-time MBA
programmes.

Designed For Senior
Executives
In a fast paced environment, organisations
cannot afford to grant long sabbaticals to senior
executives to attend a full-time programme since
they handle key roles. PGPMAX addresses this
issue by allowing participants to undergo a
formal, part-time management programme with
minimal disruption of their work schedules.

PGPMAX is targeted at high-calibre senior functional domain backgrounds like sales,

executives, with 10 to 25 years of managerial marketing, finance, accounting, manufacturing,
experience. These are people, who can both operations, project management, research &

who have done exceptionally well in a functional
domain and are looking to take on general
management positions. Senior Executives who
are already in general management roles will
also find this programme ideally suited as it will
immensely enhance their strategic perspectives
and decision making capabilities.

 WHY PGPMAX
Classroom Based
Learning
PGPMAX students will have the exhilarating
opportunity to be back in the classroom among
professional and intellectual peers, where they share
the challenge of learning new methods and means
for managing the business of doing business.
Classes will be held at the ISB’s Hyderabad campus
for 7 days every 6th week.
Classroom learning is at the heart of PGPMAX
and is an important component of the learning
experience. The class will comprise an extraordinary
and diverse mix of students who are passionate
about exchanging ideas, thereby leading to a very
interactive learning setting. The face-to-face delivery
will also ensure optimal learning and participants will
get the benefit of the experiences of their peers as
well as instructors and form a deeper bonding and
a stronger network.
Travel From Anywhere
Location of the participant is not a constraint as
the unique schedule of the programme allows
participants based anywhere to travel to Hyderabad
to attend the programme. Hyderabad serves
as an ideal location for this unique programme
06
since it is well connected to all parts of the world,
with flying times of 3 to 8 hours from most Asian
and European cities. The current class will see
participants flying in from USA, South Africa and
Sri Lanka apart from various cities in India.
No Opportunity Cost
The PGPMAX does not have an opportunity cost
as it is scheduled around the participants’ work
schedules. Hence it is less expensive in terms of
lost salary, relocation, and missed work experience.
Since there is no relocation involved, schooling of
children and work schedules of spouses are also
not disrupted.
Learn from
Thought Leaders
Senior faculty from the ISB, industry leaders, and
experienced faculty from other global schools
provide the latest in management erudition, often
basing classes on their own recent research. They
offer a unique combination of research-based rigour
and relevant real-world applications that is tailored
for senior professionals. As a result, participants
take what they learn in each module back to their
workplace and apply it immediately.
International Leg
The world is increasingly becoming more global.
Therefore, global business sensitivities need to
be reinforced. PGPMAX includes an international
immersion component in the programme
involving classroom teaching, industry visits,
and top-management interaction which will
build these sensitivities and help in making the
participant a global leader. The participants will
go on a two week trip to USA and a one week
trip to Brazil, where they will attend classes at
leading global business schools, including
Kellogg School of Management and The
Wharton School.

Career Management
Services
PGPMAX participants will have access to
resources that will help them develop their
careers and realise their full potential. Career
Management Services will help the participants
in developing and implementing their personal
career strategy. These services include career
coaching, workshops on resume writing,
skills development, personality assessments,
leadership skills, etc.

The programme does not offer campus placement services

 PROGRAMME
DETAILS
Format
The programme is designed on a schedule that
minimises disruption of work and personal pursuits.
Participants will typically be on campus for a week
of classroom learning every 6th week. PGPMAX is a
rigourous and challenging programme. The seven
day schedule will include full days of teaching and
evenings will be used for guest lectures, projects,
and group work. Participants will be required to
stay on campus, or at a suitable accommodation
arranged by the ISB, during those seven days.
During the international immersion component of
the programme, participants may have extended
terms of two weeks. This is to derive full benefit of the
visits abroad and to reduce travel expenses. This
programme format allows them to continue working
and attend a programme that is equal in rigour and
content to an Executive MBA programme.

Curriculum
The comprehensive PGPMAX curriculum, which is equivalent in content
and rigour to an Executive MBA programme, provides a framework through
which participants learn to
• broaden and enrich their management skills
• expand their knowledge of modern business techniques and
• further their understanding of the social, economic, and political forces
that shape the business environment

The programme’s 23 courses and a practicum, which is equivalent to

one course, are designed around the real-world integration of business
disciplines. Apart from these courses, there are preparatory courses which
will have to be completed before the programme begins.

 Pedagogy
Online Preparatory
Modules
The programme starts with a few online preparatory
courses that form the foundation for future courses.
These modules are sourced from Harvard Business
School Publishing. The participants will spend over
100 hours refreshing their knowledge in quantitative,
accounting and finance areas.
Pre-Course Reading
Material
Pre-course reading materials which are in the form of
text books, cases, articles etc. will be made available
to all participants in advance. Participants are
expected to spend 8 to 10 hours per week studying
these materials before they come for classes each
term. Online assessments and pre-course projects
are also incorporated in the programme to ensure
academic rigour.
Industry Speakers/Visits
An integral part of the PGPMAX is the speaker series
and visits that are regularly organised throughout the
course.

industries in India and other countries during the

Action Learning
Action learning is an important pedagogical tool that
is designed to give participants a chance to practice
cross-functional integrative decision making and
expose them to new management theories. The
practicum will be done in teams of four to five
participants, under a mentor/guide from the ISB.
The practicum will

there is no hierarchy of designations to exert
authority. As a group, participants have to get
the work done but no individual has authority to
demand work from others.
• allow participants to use their learning to solve
business problems pertaining to other industries
– in general management roles one is expected
to solve problems not encountered before
• help participants study how learning from other
industries can be applied to solve business
problems in their own industry

Boards
Online discussion boards enable participants
to initiate discussions amongst themselves
and gather responses from other participants,
faculty, and teaching assistants. These
discussion boards will be made available to
participants to build collaborative learning and to
