Management Development Programmes

IIM Sambalpur treats the training and development of working professionals as a core part of its management education offering. The Institute runs a wide range of MDPs on futuristic and contemporary themes across strategy, human resources, marketing, finance, operations and information technology, blending advanced learning with application-based practice.

General management programmes support executives moving into managerial roles at any career stage, building a rounded understanding of interconnected management functions.

In-company or customised MDPs are designed around a client's specific needs — based on a needs analysis and understanding of industry context, with content developed to simulate an appropriate setting. These programmes are conducted on campus or at another mutually agreed location, in online or offline format.
