At BGIMS, we offer Master of Management Studies of University of Mumbai. The Guiding Principles that have helped place MMS of BGIMS among the best programs are :

    1.   Developing a Global Perspective :

As business becomes increasingly global, the need for managers with international knowledge continues to grow. It is necessary to learn to operate and manage effectively in an international environment. This is very much a part of the BGIMS experience.

The ability to work with and to lead a team is critical to the success of today’s manager and requires a well-developed understanding of both cultural and individual differences. At BGIMS, we place great emphasis on the interactive skills of effective communication, conflict resolution, negotiation and mobilizing people towards common goal - essential ingredients of effective management. The majority of the program is spent working in teams.

     3.  Staying Close to Managerial Practice

The MMS of BGIMS is inspired by management practice, not academic theory. More than ninety percent of our faculty members are practicing managers and stay close to management reality through their field-based experience, research and consulting work. As a result, the learning materials they present in class represent the latest thinking in management practice and provide insight into emerging trends. Finally, the opportunity to apply what is learned is an integral part of the program. The Projects provide an acid test of the skills and the knowledge acquired in a real-world context.

The growing complexity of business makes it increasingly important to view management issues in their totality and create solutions that cut across narrow functional fields. The ability to integrate ideas and synthesize information is recognized as a prerequisite for success in general management and fostering this ability is a key component of the program. Each of the program topic focuses on particular business functions and disciplines, allowing participants to analyze a given management issue from many angles before deciding on a course of action

    5.   Thriving on Innovation

We recognize that continuous innovation is essential to long-term vitality in business. Our program challenges our participants to be innovative in their thinking, encourages them to re-examine management practices, consider new and creative solutions to problems and take initiative in implementing change. Participants learn to cope with ambiguity and uncertainty as factors in making decisions and through team exercises, they learn to plan, promote and lead change in an organization.

By following these principles, we strongly believe BGIMS offers one of the finest management MMS programs.

While other B-schools have chosen to mass-produce MBAs, we have decided to keep our MMS program exclusive. For creating an intimate, interactive and intensive learning environment. Out of the hundreds of applications we receive every year, we strive to select only the very best talented men and women who have demonstrated significant progression in their career, solid intellectual ability, outstanding potential for leadership, a far-reaching international outlook and excellent interpersonal skills. Our faculty encourages innovative thinking and helps you to develop independent and sound judgment. Because of our small batch size, we are flexible and reachable and our faculty know you as a person, not as a face in a lecture hall. You will receive personal attention at BGIMS.

At BGIMS you don’t really realize what’s happening – you’re flat-out 12 hours a day – until it’s all over. And then you look back and realize how much you’ve changed: how much you know, how much broader your perspective is, how much better your chances of success are. Anyone considering BGIMS should come and sit in classes for a day or two. Only this way you can get a feeling for the quality of the program.
