On Paradigm Shift - Vishal Dhanawat - XSC-MBF

Since digitization, machine learning, artificial intelligence, data analytics, robotization, and blockchain will define the future of business, the demand for graduates harnessing these kinds of skills will be at an all-time high. XUB has brought into inception programs in artificial intelligence and other sciences to provide students with the tools to navigate the complexities of the business environment with technical and digital business management skills.

Students are always stuck to their phones/tablets, gadgets, talking on WhatsApp rather than talking face to face. Students are well versed with new technology, and this is of utmost importance, but they still definitely need those soft skills, because every business till now has involved a human being. There is always a human, or a board, that takes the decision. Here at XUB, as a part of creating valuable future ready managers training in soft skills such as negotiation, leadership, teamwork and problem solving remains a top priority.

It’s clear that the management education has changed over the years, and it would be reasonable to suggest that it will continue to develop as years go by. With the rising interest shown by employers in such assorted programs, the question remains as to how far the industries can keep up. At this point though, it is impossible to tell, but whilst businesses favour it, students will demand it.
