XLRI - Xavier School of Management has collaborated with Hughes Global Education India Ltd (HGEIL), the education business subsidiary of Hughes Communication India Ltd (HCIL), to launch ‘Direct to Desktop’ (D2D) Executive Development Programmes for working professionals and the self-employed.
At present, the admission is ongoing for Executive Development Programme in Strategic Management (EDPSM). The short duration e-MDP course intends to explicate the role of industry analysis, innovation focus and resource-based thinking in strategising growth. Many leaders and managers implicitly use resource-based logic in making strategic decisions.
The last date of application for the course is February 27. The fees amounts to ₹77,000 plus taxes, payable in two instalments. Registration details are available at: http://www.hugheseducation.com/xlri-jamshedpur/edpsm.
Ram Kumar Kakani, Associate Dean (VIL), XLRI, said, “XLRI’s Virtual Interactive Learning Programmes have been designed for working executives to upgrade their business acumen, hone their managerial skills that would add value to them personally as well as professionally in their careers without leaving their jobs, cities and families. HGEIL is one of our existing technical partners. By leveraging the complementary capabilities of each other, we look forward to successfully delivering high quality programmes to working professionals.”
Two short duration e-MDP courses are being offered under the D2D programme currently — EDPSM and Executive Development Programmes in Human Resources Development (EDPHRD).
EDPHRD aims at providing basic knowledge and better understanding of HRD theory and practices for HR/HRD professionals and line managers who are associated with HRD activities in their respective organisations.
A spokesperson from HGEIL said, “Direct to Desktop study has become familiar in the education industry. It has eased the trouble of travelling to a specific study centre. Students can now attend class sitting at their home on their PC/laptop using broadband connection. Live classroom sessions enable the students to interact with the faculty and peers. HGEIL’s collaboration with XLRI will help us offer this proposition to the appropriate learners.”
