Almost
all the top Business Schools in India as well as specialized
institutions such as Administrative Staff College of India
(ASCI) and Center for Organizational Development (COD) are
offering a number of Management Development Programs (MDPs)
to provide management education to corporate executives. The
courses have a diverse range, both in terms of time span (e.g.,
the duration can range from one day to four months) as well
as the specificity of the program, for example, from focused
topics like Performance Management in Electronic Business
to elementary Management Education Program. Most of the reputed
Business Schools are conducting around 3540 MDPs in a year.
Though the focus is mostly on General Management topics and
topics in Organizational Behavior and Human Resource Management,
there are programs available for all management disciplines.
The following section consists of a comparative analysis of
the MDP programs offered by some of the top institutions of
