Department of Financial Management

Over the past two decades, financial management has undergone significant change in perception as well as in magnitude. Earlier, the focus was on raising funds. Financial managers were assigned little role in decision making and problem solving. Present thinking accords far greater i m p o r t a n c e t o f i n a n c i a l decision making and policy. Today, financial managers occupy key positions in management, and play dynamic role in solving complex problems and shaping fortunes of their business enterprises. Rapid expansion in the activities of financial markets, introduction of new financial institutions and instruments, driven by liberalization and globalization has further enhanced the importance of modern finance at national and international levels. Financial management has now emerged as a distinct discipline within the sphere of management studies. Because of this change in emphasis, the descriptive treatment of the subject of financial management is being replaced by growing analytical content and sound theoretical underpinnings. This is the approach adopted in this Masters programme.

Diploma Programmes in Business & Financial Management

During the last two and half decades there has been mushroom growth of colleges and university departments and full-fledged institutes awarding degrees in Business

Administration. Consequently, a whopping number of management graduates and

postgraduates are being churned out annually.

While products of the IIMS get suitably placed no sooner they leave the

portals of their institutes, majority of others remain under - and even unemployed for long, mainly because they do not meet the special requirements of business and

corporate sectors who look for specialists and superspecialists. The generalists face difficulty in finding appropriate foot hold. In view of this changing market demand the School of Management Studies of BGSB University has devised Diploma programmes in some specialized areas having great market potential.
