Drawing upon its vast experience and 400-odd faculty spread across 14 centres in India, the business school of the Institute of Chartered Financial Analysts of India (ICFAI) has launched a tailored-made management development programme (MDP) for practising managers at the middle-management level aimed at improving their work culture and help them update current business practices. | |
| Explaining the MDP, D S Murthy, director, ICFAI Business School (IBS), said, "Changing business environment along with the need to update to move up along the value chain has necessitated practising managers to enhance their skills. The MDP caters to the requirement of the corporate and is custom-designed for them." |
