Leading in the Digital Age: UpGrad and Cambridge Judge Business School

From nostalgic dial-up connections in the 90’s to the high-speed internet on-the-go, there is no denying that the internet has become an essential part of our lives. It is both exciting and surprising to see how the emerging economies are embracing the digital revolution so rapidly. In India alone, the internet users have grown to over 460 million in less than 20 years; second largest ranked only behind China. This large-scale digital revolution has completely transformed the landscape in which businesses and customers operate.

Marketing in this Digital Landscape

Businesses are going “Digital” to be better connected with their customer base. Few industries are more impacted by this transformation than traditional marketing. A source projected the spend amount to be 229.25 billion U.S. dollars in 2017 and that it would grow to 335.5 billion by 2020 with growth rates significantly outperforming any other media segment. In India alone, Digital Marketing spends amounted to almost Rs. 9,700 crore by December 2017. In Singapore, digital marketing spends are outgrowing all traditional marketing channels riding on the wave of burgeoning mobile and internet penetration and is expected to rise at a CAGR of 15 percent in Singapore over the next three years, exceeding the equivalent global growth rate of 11 percent.

The Next Big Opportunity

Career opportunities in digital marketing look promising and bright. Digital Marketing falls into the top 5 of most in-demand skills for hiring, in today’s world. In addition, to become a successful business leader today, a deep knowledge of Digital Marketing is no longer a good-to-have – it is a must-have. Marketing professionals and leaders need to understand what marketing means in a digital age, how to build a brand that the consumers can connect to and achieve business goals in the process.

With the above market needs and lack of structured and quality educational offerings that allow professionals to get tangible business outcomes and career impact, we decided to create a program that would allow professionals to have a fresh global perspective to lead marketing in this digital age.

Getting a Global Exposure

We started conversations with leading faculty at Cambridge Judge Business School. With more than 800 years of history in educating leaders, the University of Cambridge is one of the most prestigious universities in the world. It’s Cambridge Judge Business School has forged a reputation as a center of rigorous thinking and high-impact education. Cambridge Judge Business School’s  MBA program has been globally ranked 5th by Financial Times in 2017.

“To be the first partner for Cambridge Judge Business School in Asia is a strong step forward in our journey. The association is a strong validation that online education is not just the future, but also the present”

– said Ronnie Screwvala and Mayank Kumar, co-founders of UpGrad.

Dr. Kishore Sengupta, Director of Executive Education at Cambridge Judge Business School and Prof. Jaideep Prabhu felt a strong need for a program in strategic digital marketing. Our program underlines the commitment by Cambridge Judge Business School to expand its Executive Education offerings to new audiences in different regions of the world, building on the extensive custom programs offered in Cambridge for many years.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1What is CAGR?

Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) is the rate of return that would allow an investment to grow from a predetermined balance to another provided the profits were reinvested each year throughout the lifespan of the investment.

The formula for CAGR is (CAGR = {(EV/BV) ^ (1/n)} – 1) where n = number of years, BV = beginning value and EV = ending value.

CAGR is an accurate way to determine returns on anything that fluctuates in value over time. Investors can use CAGR to compare 2 options to gauge the performance of stocks against a market index or within a peer group of stocks.

Investment risks are not reflected by CAGR.

The CAGR does not reflect a rate of true returns. It is a representational figure. It is a number that denotes the rate at which an investment will grow if the profits are reinvested each year-end and the annual growth rate remains the same.

While this kind of theoretical performance is unlikely, CAGR helps understand returns on investments better, especially when compared to other options or instruments.

2What is an action-based learning experience?

Action-based learning is one form of strategy that teaches specific academic concepts in a fun, time-efficient, and teacher-friendly way that has delivered a positive learning experience.

Students who have undergone Action Based Learning have experienced whole-body and whole-brain learning, balance brain chemicals, reinforce academic concepts and improve memory retention.

The concepts of Action Based Learning are derived from brain research connecting physical activity or movement to increased academic performance. Our learning systems, the body’s movement, and the brain interact with each other and are interdependent.

For example, to sequence the patterns that are needed to learn academic concepts, our brains use a framework that is provided by motor development.
