PGDBA case studies
PGDBA · Put your knowledge to work in context.
The Post Graduate Diploma in Business Administration (PGDBA) is a postgraduate management qualification that sits between a short certificate and a full MBA. It suits working professionals who need structured management training without pausing their careers, career-changers building a business vocabulary from scratch, and graduates who want a recognised credential before or alongside an MBA. Because the diploma is delivered by many different institutions rather than a single central board, the syllabus, assessment pattern and regulations vary by provider - always read the current handbook of the institution you plan to enrol with. Most programmes build across the classic functional areas: management principles and organisational behaviour, accounting and finance, managerial economics, marketing, human resources, operations, quantitative methods, business law and governance, strategy, business communication and information systems, and entrepreneurship or project management. The PGDBA case studies are 5 cases and about 5,317 words.
