The corporate world is going through a
turbulent phase as the economy is not
stable. Recession is hitting almost all
the sectors, which include retail and IT-enabled services, FMCG, finance, banking, etc. So,
instead of fresher candidates, there is an urgent requirement for qualified and trained
management professionals to meet the HR requirements
of corporates and industries.
Considering the demands from the corporate world, universities and B-Schools are going
for time-tested and market-based curricula. They
have integrated various components in postgraduate management education programs which
ensure practical learning of various management concepts, thereby offering total quality
education to students. In an effort to realize that
management is more about practical knowledge,
B-Schools have added valuable inputs in curriculum,
like operational projects, live projects, short
selling assignments, industrial tours, industrial
projects, summer internship programs, management research theses, placement preparation
modules, soft skills modules, etc. Out of these inputs, one
of the most important components is the management thesis.
Management thesis is an integral part of the MBA program. The main aim of a
management thesis is to teach the student ways of
solving business problems and taking strategic
business decisions by focusing on Research Methodology.
It helps student to learn formulation, designing and implementing a research strategy in respect
to actual business scenario. Management thesis provides the platform to students to learn
practical implementation of concepts learned by them.
It provides various learning opportunities
to them as they have to gather information, primary as well as secondary data about
subject or topic they are focusing on.
It helps in enhancement of communication
and interpersonal skills as in order to collect
the data they need to interact with various
people, take interviews of various business
dignitaries. These kinds of interaction help in
boosting their morale and confidence. |
