Logic of architecture
SPJIMR’s PGP-FMB follows a 4x3 learning architecture, keeping the student at the centre of the learning process.
- The programme follows SPJIMR’s successful KSA (Knowledge-Skills-Attitude) model - a model recognized as one which is refreshingly different from conventional B-schools. This model aims at:
(a) Imparting Knowledge in functional areas like finance, marketing, operations, business environment.
(b) Imparting Skills -e.g. Strategic Negotiation, Spreadsheets for Decision Making
(c) Development of Attitudes-e.g. Managing Self, Business and Society.
- Such teaching-learning seeks to develop each of these pillars along 4 dimensions: Business, Family, Self and Society.
