Focus on Case-Study method for producing skilled managers

Just as corporate need to identify talent and nurture employees to assume roles of strategic importance in the organization, TBS provides relevant and cutting-edge management education. This is achieved by adopting the case methodology of learning. Case studies that talk about real issues/ problems that organizations face and that discuss the manner in which difficulties faced were resolved by corporate houses provide valuable insights to students. Case studies also help in bridging the gap between theoretical concepts learnt in the classroom and their application in industry. Innovative and creative thinking is developed – an essential trait for new age corporations.

Our Management program strives to develop the following skill set

• Communication skills
• Problem-solving skills
• Knowledge application skills
• Interpretation and Integration of information.

The case study approach addresses all of the above.

Development of teaching materials & case studies:

TBS is one of the few institutions in the country have been able to develop adequate teaching materials including case in terms of Indian ethics in management.

Understanding the Roles and Organization

A TBS student does not focus solely on the monetary aspects of a job and rather concentrate on understanding the organization culture and its people. Our institutions play an important role in developing such an attitude amongst students with the aid of counseling. The aspect of social responsibility too cannot be ignored. The student community is sensitized to the fact that social responsibility does not stand for giving charity or working for an NGO. It needs to be understood that being socially responsible is being sensitive to the needs and expectations of society and doing ones' job sincerely and ethically.

Course Curriculum

Our endeavor is to improvise curriculums in the way to make it applied & realistic. Syllabi are revised & updated regularly. It is the need of today to make the arrangements for the easy process, by which student who is deprived of the latest knowledge & can get the benefit. In short it can be said that research orientation in curriculum is required. The content of the curriculum is such that there is similarity between the rationality that is taught in the classroom and the ground reality, which a student has to actually face. Projects assigned is more practical and students go to the organizations to study various departments like HR, finance and marketing, in order to get a holistic understanding.

Faculty Development

Faculty members being the most crucial factor in the management education process, it is a stupendous task to meet the faculty needs of the management institution system.

Pedagogy

The central concern in all TBS pedagogy is interaction between traders, student & content which is basically dynamic and triadic in nature. The 21st century has opened new hopes for re-engineering our approach to pedagogical producers at all levels of education in the new domain of information technology. Needless to observe that main focus of pedagogy still remains the art of disseminating and relating knowledge to the needs and mental equipment's of the educated now it is the need that pedagogy should be more learner centered than trainer centered, more case input than lecture method more remainder workshops to envelope deep thinking on the subject ;more exposure to realities of industries and work environment, project method is used to promote discovery learning , more emphasis on simulation, role playing etc.

Values

The TBS Future managers knows the practical aspects of work ethics, like how ethics can be developed, how they can be managed at workplace, how individual makes his/her values, what are the contents of ethics which can be utilized to motivate human resources at work place since "organizations are not having ethics only people have. Developing values that enable decision-making in grey areas characterized by inadequate information or conflicts (like profit vs. integrity) will be the hall mark of training at the proposed B-School.
