Dynamic Teaching Pedagogy and New Age Initiatives at an Emerging B-School in India

Abstract

A huge number of emerging B-Schools in India have been plagued by the lack of quality placements caused by obsolete and theoretical teaching pedagogy, which has resulted in disappointment for both the students and corporate recruiters. This case study focuses on the dynamic teaching methodology of an upcoming business school in India, which has been continuously developing to give students the necessary industry skillsets through various mechanisms. This is a qualitative study of 9 MBA (Post-graduation) colleges in the Pune district by physically visiting and observing change management in business schools by adopting unique initiatives. With the help of this case study, we bring to the forefront various new-age initiatives which other B-Schools can adapt to survive and grow in the rapidly evolving management education. The Business schools must ensure adequate internal control mechanisms and have a faster decision-making ability to make necessary changes in teaching pedagogy and other requirements to enhance the student’s skill sets. In order for students to be aware of the most recent market developments, ongoing involvement and training with industry veterans must be offered. Strict teaching pedagogy and evaluation must instill in the students the habit of discipline and hard work. The results can be helpful for other management schools to manage the rapidly evolving education scenario. The findings of this research promote awareness of recent measures adopted to overcome the stiff challenges faced by management institutes. The B-schools that keep evolving and fulfil needs and demands of both industry and the students, leading to good growth in India and across the globe, creating a strong brand for itself. Research can be carried forward by using data from B-schools for more insight and detailed results.
