It is fascinating to talk about a thought provoking article, especially when it is with the author himself. That was the experience IPMX05 students had when Mr. Manoj Tandon, Associate Director at CSC came over to the campus for the leadership talk series. He was also excited to talk to the students about his article –“What B-School courses lack”.
The article was written in the perspective of two year management course, PGP. But, most of it was relevant to one year management courses as well. The talk series was structured as a discussion between the author and the students. He encouraged students to criticize the points and generate new ideas and suggestions. Manoj Tandon started off with the points about bloated egos and the unawareness of the ground realities. Manoj Tandon also agreed that to an extent this could be overcome with the depth of the experience the IPMX batch carries.
He went on to discuss the lack of foundation and the importance of implementation. Student’s observation was that management education, especially of the kind of IPMX, focuses on adding new skills and providing new perspectives to solve pertinent real life problems. The breadth of the industry experience in the class – Army, Information technology, Tourism, Finance etc will add to this learning experience and provide the interesting perspectives and develop well rounded personalities. In the end, students were pleased by the experience they had and were energized by the prolific discussion they had with the author.
