I am qualified to teach management - having a doctorate in management - nobody can stop me from doing that and most of the time, I really do not have time to do that being in a full time senior management job. However, I find it really interesting and seriously funny. Most of the time the students whom you teach have no idea what they are into. Let it be IIMs or other good management institutes. They come from very good most probably technical institutes and most of them do not have any sort of work experience. I mean really you are teaching the ones who are just out of their teens! Real world is far from reality for them and if you speak about the peers that you have in the institutes - the so called other doctorates ! - they never worked. I mean we are talking about how to swim to a gang who never touched waters and the ones who teach also never saw what swimming is all about ! Really can this happen ? Especially in applied fields like management ? Yes definitely !!!
Sometimes, I find it difficult to tell how life is as a management. a) The kids will think I am crazy ! b) IT is not written in the books they are taught !
Case studies helps a lot ! Atleast at a peripheral level. However, at the end of the day it becomes like some vedic sutras that you spell without knowing what it is all about!
The point is management teaching is like the priest in a catholic church who speaks of sins that he never committed ! All is upto you and the difference is only that with bible there are less Jargons and more love.
