nWhat is the scenario of MBA profession in India?
As Indian companies are scaling up and going global, need for competent managerial talent is ever expanding. Also, companies are finding it difficult to source competent managers. A large numbers of MBA students are passing out each year who are unacceptable to the businesses in context of their globally expanding needs. As a result of this mismatch, there is an excess supply of low caliber MBAs and shortage of high caliber managerial talent. There is a need to adopt good teaching practices and use of proven teaching and learning resources.
nAny special teaching method that you have adopted?
We have developed SLP (structured learning process) wherein for each course, three days will be dedicated for integrated business case/business simulation game analysis and discussion that will be video recorded for providing feedback for students to enable continuous improvement.
During these three days two best practice seminars are organised for interaction with senior managers in MNCs across the world through video conference.
nWhat will be the criteria for assessment?
One part is called self assessment of managerial ability, in which the student states his/her level to solve business problems using concepts, methodology and state of the art tools. The second part involves tests.
nWhat about placements?
We have appointed a team of marketing managers who will create placement opportunities for meeting specific needs of individual students. We have prepared a list of job roles and target companies where each student will have to target a job role and list out five companies from it. We will also be engaging professional counselors who will ensure that every student will go through selection process with three out of five selected companies. If our marketing team fails to provide placement to the student who has done well in our programme, we will pay a penalty.
