The PGDM programs from various B Schools can also focus on dynamic teaching pedagogy to create a holistic learning experience for students. For example, case studies have become an integral part of management education today and offer students valuable insights into real world situations. Speaking on the benefits of the case study approach, Dr. Marwah explains “Case Studies boost a student’s understanding of management concepts by providing real-life examples. In this way, students get exposed to actual working of businesses. Case studies offers a practical way of driving an academic point, reflecting the reality of managerial decision-making in the corporate world. Case studies also build the student’s interpersonal and communication skills as they learn to articulate, argue and defend various perspectives.”
According to Dr. Marwah, while the goal of creating effective managers is important, it is also vital to help create entrepreneurs who can be pillars of the society. Honing an entrepreneurial bent of mind in its students is something JKBS has always focused on. He encourages those with entrepreneurial dreams to realize them and make a difference by being job makers rather than job takers. Dr. Marwah encapsulates this idea with his concluding words: “Startup companies are challenging and rewarding at the same time. Irrespective of whether you generate wealth or not, startups are an attractive opportunity to build skills and cultivate networks. Those who want to work for start-up companies can also go for it with the objective of gaining tremendous exposure.”
