What is the difference between 2 MBA programs (PGDM and GMP) offered by SPJIMR, Mumbai?
he PGCIM program, started in association with the Center of Indo-European Business Studies, co-financed by the European Union Commission - The ESB Reutlingen Track, has evolved over time with the addition of partner colleges from more countries. The program is more focused on International Management / General Management, whereas PGDM is the traditional MBA program offered by SP Jain Institute where you specialize in one of the following: Finance, Operations, Marketing, or Information Management.
If you choose PGDM, you will learn more about managing the finances, operations, marketing, and IT for a company. In contrast, GMP teaches you how to handle Business Operations of a company in an international setting, which requires you to learn subjects like International Business Law, International Trade and Finance, and International Economics. These subjects talk about how laws in different countries vary and what needs to be taken care of when doing business with a company from a particular country. In addition, subjects like Entrepreneurship and Management Consulting teach you about the factors that nurture a culture of Entrepreneurship at a country level and the art of facilitation for solving business problems.
One significant difference between the two programs is that in PGDM, you make a vast personal network of professionals in India. However, in GMP, you make a vast personal network of professionals across the globe, which is essential for International Business. Your extended network is bigger than you imagine in various ways, such as making a network with the students in the country you go to and your classmates who are your extended network in other countries. If you go to ESB Reutlingen, your primary network is going to be very diverse as Reutlingen University is the most international university in Germany.
