Re: [MTC Global] An excerpt from 'RETHINKING THE MBA" Prof. Srikant Datar, HBS

Sir,

You are sending daily or very frequently e-mails which are useful for the college professors/teachers.  You are giving your time and efforts.  Many thanks.

As you said the syllabus is more concerned with 'knowing' aspect than doing.

I come to know that IIMC is coming out with complete new offerings.

Well said.

If we don't fine tune with the changing times and comeup with required initiatives to meet the growing/changing demands we may not continue to be relevant. 

We need to put the mantra of

R read(understanding concepts)

R reflect (on the concepts learnt)and

R relate to the corporate realities/challenges in practice(some are already doing-VJIM is having a programme whereby the faculty every year spend some time with the industry to know what is happening etc) without any further delay.

It is said that the whole strategic management can be captured in 3 Cs

Company

Competitor's and 

Customers. 

Similarly if the business school can focus on the culture (collaborative and cooperative), understand client's requirements and accordingly mould the students (at least make a serious attempt) change will be visible in the desired direction. 

Have a nice weekend

Subject: [MTC Global] An excerpt from 'RETHINKING THE MBA" Prof. Srikant Datar, HBS

"Most B-Schools have not kept pace with the changing times. Simplistically, the MBA courses focus on three things: "knowing"   "doing" and "being". Because most professors are from research and academics, the scale is heavily tilted towards "knowing".  The curricula are typically light on both "doing" and "being". Some B-Schools  are experimenting even with "knowing". Yale , for instance, is  not teaching traditional functions such as marketing, finance and strategy any more. The new courses are built around external stakeholders like competitors and customers and internal stakeholders like employees and innovators. IIM Calcutta has done a complete rethink and refresh of its curriculum. Its pedagogy is now being fine-tuned to adapt to the new thinking and curriculum. There is a clear need to rebalance. More focus is needed on  "doing and being".
