“To manage is to forecast and plan, to organize, to command, to coordinate and to control To foresee and plan means examining the future and drawinguptheplanofaction.”
Do you know who has cited this great quote for managers worldwide? It indeed is Henry Fayol, who is still a renowned personality in this highly advanced corporateworld!
He is considered by many as one of the great managers of all time, and he mentioned14managementprinciplesin hisbook ‘Administration Industrielle et Generale’ for being a good manager in any organization. He is also known as the 'Father of Modern Management Theory '
Today,modern-daymanagersfollowhis principles and learn more management pedagogies,andstudentsstartgazingat various courses related to management and end up finding MBA as the best course for management studies However, in changing business paradigm, there are other specialized management courses, i.e., PGDM, whichhavebeenintroducedforaspiring st futuremanagersmovingaheadinthe21 century and newly introduced web3 transition.
Similarly,haveyoueverwonderedwhy thereisaneedforaPGDMcourse?And how MBA and PGDM courses are differentfromeachother,andwhenboth the courses help you to indulge managerialskills?
However, the major difference between the MBA and PGDM programs is the approval,sinceMBAisapprovedbythe UGC (University Grants Commission) and PGDM is approved by the AICTE (All India Council for Technical Education).Moreover,thecurriculumof MBAisfixed,whereasPGDMprovides practical-basedlearningtothestudents.
Although,afteracknowledgingthisfact, many prominent management institutes have now begun promulgating the P G D M c o u r s e i n v a r i o u s specializations.
