Postgraduate Diploma in Business Management (PGDBM) is a one-year course designed specially to provide a systematic exposition in advanced management education to managerial and supervisory level executives in private and public sectors, who wish to pursue higher studies with relevant managerial experience and graduates who wish to upgrade their academic knowledge gained during the fi¬rst degree. The primary aim of this course is to inculcate among the participants such perceptions, knowledge, skills and abilities as would enable them to become effective managers in the modern business and to assume higher levels of managerial responsibilities. Therefore the structure of this course facilitates a process through which the participants integrate their real-life work experiences with the conceptual and analytical foundations and developments in management disciplines, rather than just knowledge reproduction. The learning is problem oriented and participants have to work on specifi¬c problems themselves. Furthermore, the programme encourages multidisciplinary thinking and independent reflection using twelve modules including research report.
