By Dr Aparna Rao

Abstract 

Challenges for Management Educators
Preference for management education is an increasingly global trend in career planning. Growing demand has led to varying needs and expectations from this field. The spectrum of aspirants for management education ranges from undergraduates to experienced and senior professionals, from employed personnel to entrepreneurs, from primary sectors like agriculture and mining to tertiary sectors like banking services to secondary sectors like manufacturing and production.
The varied demographics of students opting for management studies results in equally varied perceptions about age, qualifications and experience for enrollment for MBA. Management courses being offered are aimed at meeting the various kinds of demands. This reflects in the numerous courses offering MBA or its equivalent. These requirements have triggered a wide range of courses catering to different segments of the population - full time two year courses to one year, to six months to distance learning to online courses in management education.
