Management education today is an opportunity full of challenges. To get to a future that is sustainable in every way, we need to create an ecosystem in education to attract talent, especially as educators. I strongly believe that growth occurs with great minds entering the field with a passion. Of of the box thinking is required, and with talented personnel entering to teach, the employability of students will multiply. In my opinion, only about 20% of our professional graduates are employable. In future, we need to ensure a better percentage an look towards achieving 100% employability. This is not impossible since today, there is a responsiveness to the market needs like never before. Several innovations have taken place in terms of designing of highly specialised programs, which is only the start of a trend. We will witness in the near future highly specialised programs catering to the needs of every niche pocket possible.
Along with specialised programs, i feel experential pedagogy is going to be the order of the day. It is a well known fact that the best way to develop skill sets in students is through simulated forms of learning. They exist today, but they have to gather momentum to generate a visible difference. A great way to do this is setting up a pilot training, which can be folllowed by a learning process in which students constantly get to work on live problems of a company. This process would become easier if we saw it from the perspective of developing executives.
I envision that then 2012- 20 decade is going to be one og quality revolution just as 2000-10 was of infrastructure development in education and 1999 - 00 one of capacity creation. /if that is the case, then i think that reaching a win - win situation for the academia as well as the industry will not be difficult.
