The CEIBS-Michigan Ross School of Business Joint Diploma in Management Programme is aimed at ambitious managers who have already distinguished themselves and are on a fast course of management development. By focusing on the individual, this programme enables participants to step back from their daily responsibilities and gain a broad, integrated perspective of general management. The Diploma in Management specifically helps managers understand their role in their company, learn how to manage up, down, across and outside of their company's organisation, perform a working assessment of that organisation and formulate solutions to individual job challenges. The programme is divided into two parts - a compulsory section of eight modules and an elective section of two modules. Each compulsory module is presented in a single four-day session across a weekend from June 2008 to the second half of 2009. The timing of the elective modules, which are offered in 2009, depends entirely on the individual participant's speciality and choice. |

Compulsory Modules
In order to enhance the relevance for both the participants and their companies, the programme has been structured into two parts, one part compulsory and the other part elective. The compulsory part includes eight regular modules covering a range of functional areas as well as the skills necessary for managerial advancement. During these eight modules, participants will gain a comprehensive knowledge in business management. These eight modules are:
• Module 1: Introduction to Management (June 11-14, 2008)
The primary goal of this module is to give participants a foundation in basic management thinking and practice, and to familiarise participants with different teaching styles and methodologies used in the programme. Working in organisations means working with people. It is important to understand why people in organisations behave the way they do. In short, this module will prepare you to manage employees and make sense of organisations. It is designed to change the way you approach problem solving and decision-making.
• Module 2: Macro Economics and Strategic Management (July 6-9, 2008)
This module seeks to integrate much of the knowledge you have gained in previous functional subject areas. It deals with strategic decisions at the business and corporate levels that affect competitive advantage and long and short-term performance of the firm. Topics include the direction setting task, strategic analysis, competitive strategy, corporate growth strategy, corporate restructuring, and managing strategic changes.
• Module 3: Marketing (September 24-27, 2008)
The objective of this module is to provide the participants with an in-depth and practical understanding of marketing within a Western company in China. The module examines how successful companies develop, implement and evaluate their marketing plans and programmes.
• Module 4: Introduction to Accounting and Finance (November 7-10, 2008)
This module covers the accounting principles of internal planning and control, decision-making and performance evaluation of business units. It also introduces concepts used in management accounting. In addition to accounting, it will present theories and practices of financial management. The module includes analysis of financial information, corporate financial planning and control, working capital management and investment analysis.
• Module 5: Organisation and Leadership (Jan. 16-19, 2009, TBC)
The objective of this module is to equip participants with a better understanding of the dynamics within organisations and the requirements for leadership in facilitating co-operation and change. It will help participants become more effective leaders by increasing their flexibility as leaders. It supplies insights to enable change within organisations without creating resistance to change.
• Module 6: Operations Management (March 27-30, 2009, TBC)
The aim of this module is to introduce participants to the critical aspects of business processes in a firm. Throughout the module, participants will get acquainted with the basic variables of a business process and the tools and concepts to describe, understand, manage and improve on such a system.
• Module 7: Project Management (August 27-30, 2009, TBC)
The objective of the module is to introduce participants to the project management process, to increase their awareness of potential risks, and to extend their knowledge and skills so that they can define, implement and evaluate projects using the best professional practices.
• Module 8: Business Game (December 14-17, 2009, TBC)
During the final module, participants will work in teams managing a company in a simulated environment. It is a comprehensive simulation in international management and covers different aspects of managing an international business. The simulation will involve active learning and is complemented with lectures on concepts linked to simulation.
Elective Modules
After completing the eight compulsory modules, participants will begin an elective course of two modules. These two modules can be chosen according to the participants’ own speciality from our short open programmes. The electives provide flexibility in both timing and subject matter. Participants will obtain advanced and in-depth learning that builds on the knowledge gained from the compulsory modules. They will be informed about the availability of electives on the completion of the compulsory modules.
Each module in the compulsory part lasts four days and is given approximately once every one and half months. The elective modules must be finished within the year of 2009. The programme will start in June 2008, and will be held in Beijing. |
