Programs
SCMS offers programs for working professionals on a flexible platform. These programs are contemporary, well-crafted and industry relevant.
Programs are designed to offer an executive a strong flavour of general management. Specializations end in an immersive capstone project that combines learning experiences and technology and management certifications.
With the accelerating pace of competition, cutting-edge companies are defined by innovative strategies. In the Executive Education programs, a student will explore how to develop ground-breaking strategies and action plans for execution, forecast industry evolution, and analyse strategic trade-offs to build and sustain your company's competitive advantage ultimately.
The pedagogy for the program is shaped around interactive lectures, hands-on assignments and case study analyses.
All our programs equip the students with new knowledge, frameworks, concepts and various professional skills. It allows them to advance in their careers and even transform their lives to be productive, helpful and successful.
- We recommend that the student is conscious of the following:
- Organizational impact matters as much as professional development.
A student needs to operationalize learning. Is your knowledge a value add for your organization? - Keener introspection facilitates more significant external influence.
Does your learning make you more focused, intense and mindful? It would be best if you widened your circle of influence. - Rethink, repurpose and renew what we're already doing.
Ideate and create fresh paradigms both for yourself and your organization. - See something differently.
The classroom thrust empowers students to individually and collectively "see" innovation in a different way. Develop creativity and bring fresh ideas to the table. - Do something different.
It would be best if you had a bias for action. Action speaks louder than words. Experiment and calibrate results all the time. Try new things. - Measure the difference.
Build focus and resilience. Look for outcomes and measure them. Try again if you fail. - Build an arc.
Network all the time. Develop mentors and get feedback from people willing to help, including your boss. Reach out to colleagues and friends.
A seventeen-month post-graduate program in management spread across 4 trimesters. The program is well-grounded on a general management perspective with the first three trimesters being populated with core and foundation courses. Trimester 4 has specialization courses where the student will specialize in one of the eight functional areas on offer. Trimester 4, ends with a capstone project, which will capture learning from the entire program where a student is expected to engage with a live industry project under the guidance of an advisor.

Manangement Development Program
The Future of Work is impacted by five drivers that are going to affect how we view the work world. India's New Labour Code attempts to encompass these changes through legislation.
- Accelerating Technological Change
- Growing Demand for Skills
- Shifting Labour Demographics
- Transitioning Work Models
- Evolving Business Environment
Dayananda Sagar University, SCMS conducted a one-day MDP on the New Labour Code, on Saturday, November 04, 2023 and driven by our faculty Dr.Solai Baskaran,Ph.D(IIT, Delhi) and managed by Dr.SaiGanesh Somasekaran, for working professionals from the industry.
The four new labour codes – Code on Social Security 2020, Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions Code 2020, Industrial Relations Code 2020, and Code on Wages 2019 – will subsume 29 central labour and industrial laws.
These programs are significant and a need of the hour to reflect the changing times we live in and the new paradigms of work!

Developing New Managers
Management is distinguished as the level of supervision between the entry level employees and organizational leaders. Residing between effective leadership and efficient employees, effective managers are critical to organizational success. Different paths to becoming a manager exist—either through the ranks or through outside accomplishments. Managers must have certain knowledge, skills and abilities (KSAs) to be able to achieve organizational goals and engage employees. Lacking these KSAs, managers will need basic or advanced training, depending on their place within an organization. The training of managers should be an ongoing process, even as managers become proficient at basic levels of business acumen. All managers should be concerned with management development—in terms of both their own and their subordinates' advancement. With our training workshops working executives will be provided the skills they need to succeed as managers in a complex world. By identifying prospective managers early and identifying a clear management track, your company will prosper and thrive with a solid development structure. Becoming a new manager can seem like a daunting and challenging task. To overcome these hurdles let us create an environment where employees know what is expected of them.
With our training, program your employees will gain the support, best practices, and knowledge that is essential for a new manager. The training workshops will help your company develop well rounded, fair and confident managers. By identifying early you will be able to groom prospective candidates and provide the best chance for success.
