Advanced Masters Program in Management of Globally Distributed Work (AMPM) is an executive education program in Global Management. It is designed for high potential professionals in technology organizations who, as a part of their job assignments need to develop markets and manage clients and work-sites around the globe. It is also designed for consulting professionals and MNC executives who may be transferred to various worldwide locations.

Managers who are the products of the AMPM program will define global strategic plans for their companies and add value to execution of plans with their close knowledge and familiarity of markets, financial structures and work cultures of most important geographies and economies of the twenty first century represented by India, China, Europe and the US. Such managers will be “globally-ready” to take up challenging tasks in confronting competition either globally or locally.


The program has 5 modules spread over 16 months. These consist of four residency sessions of ten days of intensive education each, in top class institutions in four regions of the world. The balance of the curriculum is delivered online by faculty of the respective schools. This enables students to continue to work in their companies even while enrolled in the program

Recent waves of globalisation have created new markets and business opportunities that few could visualize earlier. These however, come with challenges and risks even fewer managers are familiar with. Companies today have to prove that they are, and will continue to remain, globally competitive if they are to be able to carry their clients, investors and talented high performing employees with them into the future. This, in essence, translates into the ability of managers to have a global mindset, address global markets, and manage globally distributed human resources and global financial contexts. These have to be achieved even while following basic principles which underpin a company’s vision and strategy that need to be interpreted in differing settings globally.



The Target Market



The Advanced Masters Program in Management of Globally Distributed Work (AMPM) is an advanced management education program for executives, who as a part of their job, need to develop markets, sources, and manage business units around the globe. The program is also for professionals who are being groomed to transition from technical and delivery positions to managerial, business-consultancy, and customer-facing positions in different regions of the World. The prospective student of the program is typically a professional or an MNC executive who is being prepared for senior levels in a company with existing or planned global operations and strategies, and who may be assigned to handle worldwide operations at headquarters or at locations in Europe, North America, and Asia.





Global Delivery



A unique feature of the program is its delivery over four sites spanning South Asia, Europe, North America, and East Asia. The program will be delivered through a consortium of leading business schools from Asia, Europe, and North America. The consortium members are:




Indian Institute of Management Bangalore, India


SDA Bocconi-School of Management, Italy


UCLA, Business and Information Technology Consortium, Anderson School of Business Los Angeles, USA


Faculty of Business, City University of Hong Kong at Hong Kong/Shenzen, China.


The curriculum has been developed in consultation with the major employers, technology MNCs, and software houses to ensure that it meets their needs. The end result is a program that integrates the needs of the industries,with the business and cross-cultural strengths of the international education partners, scanning three continents.

Program Outline

Learning in AMPM has three components:

1. Theme
This set of courses is oriented towards managing with a Global perspective. Some of the courses offered are – Managing a Global Corporation, Cross-cultural Management, International Economics, Global Marketing, Global Risk Management and others.

2. Context
In this set of courses participants explore new concepts learnt in the first set as they play out in different contexts of Europe, China and East Asia and high tech global business based in silicon valley, apart from India. Some of the courses offered are- Chinese and Asian Economy, Indian Society in Transition, Hi-Tech Marketing and others

3. Practice
In this component participants choose an issue, project or theme their company is interested in exploring in detail. They undertake research and data gathering, perform analysis and produce a report under supervision of a faculty from one of the participating institutions. It is expected that the quality of report will be comparable to a top-level consultants’ report on the chosen issue. A panel of faculty, who may offer suggestions for further development, will evaluate the student’s work. The students will, through this effort, provide value to companies who have sponsored them and lay a basis for future work.
