The subjects include a wide range of topics, namely Business Economics, Financial Accounting and Control, Introduction to Quantitative Methods, Managerial Communications, Operations Management, Organizational Behaviour, HRM, Strategic Management, Entrepreneurship Orientation and Innovation, and others to name a few.
A total of 24 defence officers that include Wing Commander, Squadron Leader, Commander, Major, Lieutenant Colonel, and Colonel have signed up for the six-month non-residential on-campus training.
