Is your PGDM or MBA making you future ready?

While the COVID situation temporarily affected how business was conducted across the world, as the economies and markets recovered from the COVID slump, we are seeing the development of an ever more global economy. 

Though there has been some impetus towards protectionism and production locally, the importance of more robust global networks has become more evident due to the crisis that affected the entire world.

In such a scenario, management graduates are expected to be equipped to become a part of this global workplace. They need to adapt to the complex global network of economies and markets. 

Communicating and articulating effectively, especially in English, is a very important core competency for management students with aspirations to thrive in today's workspace.

Several studies have commented on the fact that our graduates are not ready to join the workforce, especially because of a lack of communication skills.

Management colleges need to start addressing this gap and adapt accordingly to equip their students. It is up to us to ensure the new generation of managers is future-ready. 


The challenge faced here is that management students have to acquire their skills well into adulthood and are focussed on simultaneously acquiring other essential competencies – both soft skills and expertise in their domain of interest. 


One of the key takeaways for you in case you are evaluating a post-graduate program in management is to look at B Schools which place equal emphasis on skills development along with knowledge delivery.

 For instance, at ISB&M Bengaluru, one of the best B Schools In India, we provide a consistent and integrated (with usual MBA/PGDM courses)learning path for students to gradually acquire these skills through Professional Skills for Business courses.
