Management educationists across the globe have experienced major changes. The key concern is within the management education system that lays more stress on theory rather than implementation. Management education needs to focus on developing the capacity and skills to operate businesses locally and globally.
Short duration management programmes, or part-time or online MBA programmes have failed to build capabilities in budding managers to face challenges of the VUCA (volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity) world as this course lacks experiential learning. Experiential learning helps students to build critical thinking, and problem-solving skills in addition to writing, listening, presentation, and other interpersonal skills. In order to bridge industry expectations and academic offering gap, interdisciplinary management programmes could be one of the solutions which prepares students to resolve issues with multiple dimensions in the real world.
