Governance of Management Education in India: A myth or Reality?

Abstract

The present paper focuses on certain bottlenecks or governance issues in Management Education in India. The paper reciprocally uses the term corporate for management education. Since the terms corporate and management education can be used interchangeably. The amount and magnitude of these bottlenecks fetters the growth of corporate education in India. Apart from these bottlenecks the concept of Professionalism is still not adopted completely in management education. There is a dilution and exploitation of knowledge energies of youth. There are mismatches between the practice and learning. The paper considered certain bottlenecks as key parameters like equivalency of degrees, course curriculum, monitoring by apex bodies, examination system, teaching pedagogy, research and development, innovation and creativity, basic qualification, mushroom growth of institutes or universities and entry into management education etc. The research study made its efforts to depict these bottlenecks in Management Education in India. The paper further tried to assimilate the needs of corporate bodies from management education. The paper finally ends with certain suggestions for more reforms, governance and projecting the scope for more and better research in the field.
