The Family Managed Business(FMB)
About the Programme
SPJIMR pioneered the Family Managed Business Programme for young family business managers, which is now in its 12th Year.
The Family Managed Business (FMB) programme has a custom designed architecture reflecting the central theme of preparing the participant for leadership of his/her family business. The architecture adopted focuses on the objectives and pedagogy for fulfilling the theme
Family Businesses make numerous and critical contributions to the economy both in terms of money income and such intangibles as time, flexibility, control and personal expertise. Family businesses add the realities of family life to traditional business ethos, expanding the range of issues, personalities, needs and potential solutions for each decision. Knowing something about family types, communication patterns, managerial styles and the amount of support members can expect from their families, may be as important to entrepreneurs as knowing how to reach a market or managing cash flows.
The SPJIMR Family Managed Business Programme was evolved to assist family-owned firms in meeting the unique managerial challenges associated with operating and sustaining a successful family enterprise. The programme helps the students to identify which family dynamics most often affect business decisions, and learn how to overcome these hurdles to continued growth and profitability.
This program is offered by the Centre for Family Businesses in India at SPJIMR, which is committed in its mission to:
* Further the understanding, growth and development of responsible family-owned business.
* Celebrate the importance of family enterprises in our economy and our society.
* To prepare next generation family business leaders for their unique leadership roles.
* To increase the survival rate of mature family-owned businesses by focusing on opportunities inherent in these enterprises
The connection between entrepreneurship and family business appears to be widely recognized. An entrepreneur is often defined as someone who specializes in making judgmental decisions about the coordination of scarce resources, is institution-free, deals with the factors of risk, and has influence over the flow of information, Although the literature often portrays the entrepreneur as a single individual, family business literature strongly suggests that families are vital and supportive environments for entrepreneurial behavior. Put simply, entrepreneurship is the start and heart of most family managed businesses, and the phenomenon of an entrepreneurial family fosters, subsidises and enhances the efforts of its members who engage in entrepreneurship. "Family business" is a wider-lens view of entrepreneurship, as the initial business effort of one or more family members grows and changes over time.
Duration
The duration of the FMB Programme is 2 years including the foreign visit. The participants spend one week each month at the Centre in learning and the remaining three weeks at their work place, applying the acquired concepts and skills in their business. They also work on specific assignments, reporting to the faculty through e-mail.
Similarly, the duration of the Owner Manager Programme is twelve months.
Eligibility
The FMB Programme is open to graduate family members with a significant stake in the family business. Sponsorship by the business is essential. Selection is through assessment of the application followed by a test and personal interview.
Executive Management Programme
About the Programme
The emerging Business challenges require corporates to create a reservoir of versatile executives with a strong base of functional knowledge along with general management perspective.
SPJIMR's uniquely architectured Executive Management Programme is designed with a potential to address the above shortcomings and fills the gap of providing high quality management education to Practicing executives with minimal absence from their workplace.
SPJIMR's approach to major initiatives has been to formulate details based on definite and distinctive foundational premises. For the Executive Management Programme, these are:
1. The conventional classroom mode of learning can be leveraged significantly through non-classroom activities- a belief borne out of successful practice of pedagogic approaches at SPJIMR with other programs.
2. Professional education can be best acquired by a two-stage process of:
1. acquisition of knowledge of theoretical concepts followed by
2. application of the concepts to real life situations
3. Formal management education needs to sensitise participants to appreciate that:
1. the onus of learning in the ultimate analysis is mainly on the learner
2. the process of learning needs to be continuous throughout the career and
3. the sources and methods of learning are varied
4. Sponsoring companies need to have somewhat of a direct role in assisting the learning experience of the participant- positive gains being:
(i)wider spread of knowledge within the organisation
(ii) performance improvement resulting from Executive Management Programme action learning, Application exercises and Projects.
5. Effective management education for practicing executives needs to be contextual and hence needs to be customised vis-a-vis the organisation and the participant's specific role.
Duration
The programme is spread over 4 phases over a 21-month duration and would involve 60 full days of classes at our campus in Mumbai. The on-campus period is divided into contact periods as under:
1. Initial contact period of 3 days for the Orientation phase
