Title:

Why Executive Post Graduate Program

 

 According to a study conducted, the world population is around 6.44 billion people as on date, with an average growth rate of 1.4% and majority of the growth coming in from Africa, Asia and Latin America where the present population growth rate is at around 1.9%.

 

In the more developed countries like the America, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, the growth rate in population is less than 1 percent. This would mean the countries in the Asian; Latin American region would continue to be a source for large labor force.

 

With the present rate of growth in population across Asia, including India, in the next 15 years India’s average age would be much younger than China, Japan, Europe or the USA.

 

In 2000, India’s median age was 23 yrs, compared to China’s median age of 30 yrs, the USA’s of 36 yrs, Europe of 38 yrs and Japan’s of 41yrs.

 

In 2025 India’s median age will be 30 yrs, China’s and the USA’s 39 yrs, Europe’s 45 and Japan’s 50 yrs. This would have a great impact on the several countries’ stamina in the race for growth. Also imagine the need for a smart workforce in the “older” countries.

 

Some of the changes that are happening in the Indian Industry are:

 

  • Like at 90.54 million subscribers including the CDMA users & is expected to grow to 350 million plus, India is the 2nd largest market for mobile telephony. India, which is Asia's third largest economy, has among the world's lowest call rates at less than 2 U.S. cents a minute, charges that have been attracting subscribers in the millions

 

  • With 9.4 million cars, India is the 5th largest markets for car manufacturers

  

  • With 45.3 million motorcycles, India is the 2nd largest market for motorcycles

  

  • With 47 million airline passenger’s, India is poised to become one top 15 global markets by 2006. Today, every US citizen makes on average 2.2 air trips each year. The corresponding figures are just 0.02 trips per year for India. There is therefore huge potential for air travel growth.

 

With all this India has been clocking a growth of over 8% CAGR since the time license raj was end in the late 90’s. This has been a defining moment for the country after independence where the Indian consumer was exposed to the global environment. This has also thrown up enough opportunities for new sectors like services, transport, infrastructure, and telecom, IT/Ites that were regulated until then.

 

In 2006, the share of these sectors in the growing economy is over 40% clearly showing the way India is going to move forward towards the next few decades. India along with China, Russia & Brazil has also been identified as the future economies to watch for, where most of the growth potential is available. With these new sectors growing at a pace which can only keep pace with the talent available, companies are increasingly looking at adding value to their employees by giving them enough learning opportunities both at work & outside.

 

The Executive education as a part of this learning opportunity fits right into the place for employees & executives who have spent sometime in the corporate world. This education gives the individual the opportunity to interact both with the academic world and the industry fraternity through the class, which helps in sharing the best practices and learning’s. The program helps in a bringing in a unique blend of taking the classroom learning’s back to boardrooms to build a more meaningful discussion & insight.

 

 The executive is also challenged to work between tight deadlines & various commitments, which only helps the individual to work on a better utilization of time & resources. Since the program cannot follow a textbook approach for experiences professionals it exposes them to various scenarios through the case study methods to understand & appreciate the application of knowledge better.

 

The entire learning cycle only helps the various stakeholders to extract a greater value through this learning effort. This also ensures that the organization is able to retain and develop talent in a single effort, which is only beneficial to everyone. Organizations through this program can use the individuals learning’s to address some problems, which mostly remain undone due to time paucity, or the huge costs involved in hiring paid consultants.

 

All this only creates what we all call a Win-Win situation for all the stakeholders.
