Program Offerings
• Building Business Strategy • Managing Corporate Growth: The Strategic Management of Mergers and Acquisitions
Program Overview
Managing Corporate Growth: The Strategic Management of Mergers and Acquisitions Mergers and acquisitions (M&A) are a key element of corporate growth. In 2006, the global M&A market was valued at almost $4 trillion USD. As the Indian economy grows, Indian companies are increasingly engaging in M&A locally and abroad. However, the historical record of M&A success in general is very poor, with many more mergers failing than succeeding. This interactive program helps senior executives develop a framework and implementation plan for managing acquisitions. It offers a contemporary perspective on managing the acquisition process. HR and non-HR executives will find this opportunity to use the most contemporary thinking in M&A useful.
Program Overview
Building Business Strategy The HR function is central to every successful business strategy. In many organizations, however, senior HR executives are often not involved in the development of business strategy. This interactive program—one of the most popular offerings in the United States—is being offered with the Indian scenario in mind. The course helps senior HR executives understand the key components of a business strategy and provides a detailed framework for generating efficient business strategy in the context of a competitive industry environment. You will review business examples from a variety of contexts. The program presents exercises to help establish the concepts and vocabulary of business strategy, as well as the processes for developing it. More important, it offers a contemporary perspective to producing strategy. HR and non-HR executives will find this learning experience practical and useful.
