AT IMT-DUBAI,ALL PROGRAMS ARE DESIGNED TO DELIVER BOTH ACADEMIC KNOWLEDGE AND PRACTICAL KNOW-HOW
Excerpts from a chat with Dr.Farhad Rad-Serecht,Director,IMT Dubai,wherein he speaks on the need of a holistic approach in choosing a management institute...
Internationally,management education is changing rapidly and prospective students looking for the "right" management program should consider various factors in making their final choice of the school to attend.Too frequently,students tend to consider exclusively the rankings as a sole criterion for choosing the school or the program.However a more holistic approach is necessary to identify a suitable program to shape your life-long career.
Some of the recent trends in management education and their implications are highlighted below:
Experiential Learning:
Management education can no longer be confined to the boundaries of the classroom and the campus.Companies are increasingly looking for graduates with right operational skills and not just academic knowledge.The ability to apply the tools learnt in the classroom to the workplace is therefore of paramount importance.Programs offering within their curriculum opportunities such as fieldwork,internships,company projects etc.are undoubtedly of a higher value as they lead to a better preparation and employability.
At IMT,Dubai,experiential learning is at the centre of the learning philosophy and all programs are designed to deliver not only pure academic knowledge but also the practical knowhow and the skills required in a workplace.
International Exposure:
Cross-cultural exposure,both academically and practically,is increasingly valued by the corporate world particularly the MNCs.In an increasingly global world,the ability to understand and cope with different business cultures and practices and operate in various markets is highly valued by the prospective employers.As a result programs offering study abroad opportunities (for a semester or more) and international internships assignments add more value by increasing the geographic mobility and employability of the graduates.
IMT,Dubai is offering double degree options with various international partners in addition to the regular student exchange programs.
Industry Relevance:
Programs in line with the industry needs,having a more practical approach,and with continuous industry interface are perceived to be of a superior value by the industry.Therefore industry interface,adequacy of the curriculum to industry requirements and professional orientation should be considered as a major criterionin selecting the right program.
Interpersonal skills:
The growing complexity of both international markets and corporations,the volatility of the environment,the necessity to cope with change and diversity require strong interpersonal skills to adjust,adapt and cope with the requirements of businesses and career development.
In summary,management programs that combine internationalisation of program;are aligned with industry needs;have an intensive interface with the industry and develop interpersonal multidisciplinary skills,deliver better value to the student.
