Post liberalisation and globalisation the economic scenario of india have witnessed a dramatic uphavel.Market is now driven by the buyers, what it used to be the sellers kingdom.People did'nt have options to choose, so no question of bargaining in terms of quality.
Now,Industries have also customised themselves according to the needs of the customer.Customers are the king now and they are tapping the benefits of fears competition between the industries.
organisations now have started hiring people of diverse back grounds and upgrading the skills of the existing people. So,here the need of executive MBA is felt across the organisation and the people who ,till now, were focussing on individual performance rather than a bigger perpective towards the organisation have changed there mindset.
Universities have also overhauled their curricula and introduced new courses according to the needs felt by the corporatons, disaster management,risk analysis,theory of constraint,merger and acquisitions etc are some examples.
The value of executive MBA degrees are more or less same as that of full time MBA degree and they are also placed above 10 lcs per annum category,given there experience.
Almost all the MBA institutes including coveted IIMs have opened their doors for executive MBA courses and all the leading organisations are sending there top brass for skill upgradation.
One more reason that could be attributed to this fact is, crporations can't afford to send their people for complete two years program,moreover,between this oneyear of executive program they spend cosiderable time in their organisations.
