ADMAP

The Assessment and Development of Managerial and Administrative Potential (ADMAP) is a three-credit course spread through the first year of the two-year PGDM curriculum. This unique Non-Classroom Learning course was conceived by visionary educationist Dr. M L Shrikant, Former, Honorary Dean of SPJIMR, DBA HBS in 2004.

ADMAP aims to empower students with the art of administrative capabilities in a fun and experiential way. It introduces the participants to ‘self-learning’ and ‘management of the self’ through the prism of ‘doing, observing, reflecting and recording’. ADMAP focuses on a learned rather than a taught pedagogy and it transfers the learning responsibility to the students.

This value-based approach to management education, in line with the SPJIMR’s philosophy of Influencing Practice and Value-based Growth, helps the students to become leaders, entrepreneurs and managers of tomorrow who can get things done even in the Volatile, Uncertain, Complex and Ambiguous (VUCA) world.

ADMAP Objectives

Help students learn how to work in a team of peers with diverse administrative styles
Instil a professional attitude in students
Assist students in learning how to influence without power
Aid students in understanding various organizational structures
Teach students what are the sources of formal and informal power
