Redefining Business Education in India
Business education is witnessing a shift from conventional to innovative learning. Students are being trained in real life situations to effectively respond to business issues. There is an increasing emphasis on work experience prior to postgraduate studies and share past knowledge to help chart a roadmap for the future of business. Moreover, intercultural and cross-cultural understanding has become an important component in a global manager’s profile. Today’s business education should encompass these issues too. A business school programme should enable students to deal with issues and ideas that are important for business creation and development. It should also help students develop competencies that go beyond theoretical knowledge and make their education relevant.
