Abstract

Today, all stakeholders are concerned about the value of management education to its students and thus its ultimate value addition to the industry. Faculty, employers and students differ in their perceptions of the value addition of management education. The present study attempts to understand the value addition of management education from the perspective of students. The three most important value additions of management education to students were self-confidence, communication and management skills. Further, the study examines the enablers of learning in management education. Experiential pedagogy, faculty and personality development activities emerged as the most important enablers. The study also investigates the barriers of learning. The three key barriers were information overload, ineffective assessment and irrelevant courses. The findings are discussed in the light of curriculum redesign of management education programmes. We recommend the need for management education to be more student centric and employability oriented, using experiential and project-based pedagogy. Finally, the article highlights the limitations of the present work and provides the directions for the future research.
