Dear Team,
I agreed with Mr. Jayabaskar, when I have started my career after Graduation, I have faced lots of problem, because that was my 1st job and I realized that experience is more important compare with the class room studies. |

| From my point of view classroom education creates more managerial skills, we learn all type of theoretical knowledge from our classroom, if we are not knowing anything about the subject, we can't practice in our work. Because of that there are many business schools to bring future managers from there we can easily learn how to handle a situation, what all things we need to do when we become a manager. |

I agree with topic, Manager are born and not trained however I would like to reframe it as though managers are born however they need to take some training to polish some of the skills. Also training can lead them to right direction as well as help them to take desiction in carieer path.
Practical knowladge would help person to get rid of the instances as well as decesion making in future however classroom training enables them to aviod instances.
Practice make man perfect but grooming is also required to match the skill in todays compititive era.
In classroom we basically shares the situations faced during the our day to day work which can preferably used for referece hence classroom training is needed. |

| A very warm good morning to all of you. According to me class room education gives you the basics to handle different situation which anyone can face. But live experience helps us to get a border prospective. It is also said that "failure is the stepping stone of success". It is automatic that when you face a situation in real n fail you will try to analyse it that why I didn't met with success? What was wrong? What suits the situation best and in what could have been done to get success. But it is not possible to get experience of everything in real and then solve the problem. So both are necessary as both of them add to your knowledge. Thanks. |

| I am a manager with no college education. I am 50 and have been in management for about 12 years. Over the years I have learnt a wealth of information through the daily experience. I have also witnessed very poor decisions made by very inexperienced managers with a full college degrees. Experience is key. |

@Nishant Kumar.
You are talking about Dhirubhai Ambani but have you think of Lakshmi Mittal the 6th Richest Man in the world and you will be astonished to find that he is only a commerce graduate still he make it to the top. He didn't Join B-School or Management Institution. What I means to say that it Live Experience that can attain you to a greater height your Fundamental knowledge from classroom can only helps you in understand the basics but only practical knowledge ca step you to ladder of success. |

| I think that there should be some base for everything, so classroom act as a base for our fundamental knowledge, if we will not be knowing about the fundamental rules then how could we implement the practical world? no doubt experience come from working but we coild only be succesful when we gave studies the fundamentles and with the education only we colud implement in the proper manner, practical ways are adopted after seeing the corporate scenario, if the person has not done any prac thing in classroom then he might face the prob in corporate world, therefore prac things are made understand in the classrooms so I conclude that the base for teh managerail skills is the education in the classroms. |

Classroom learning works as a R&D department of any company which is necessary for any new product launching before launching a product it is necessary to check the product and make correction whatever is needed, this same thing we get in our classroom learning then we get ready for launch in corporate world.
Someone also talk about managerial skill comes by experience many more industrialist got success without going not even a single day to college but I want to ask a question to all of them only one question if it is right then why the son of DHIRUBHAI AMBANI went to harvard university for their MBA. If his father never gone in any Indian B school and why executive MBA. Why people come in IIM and any other B school after working for 1yr or 2yr or more experience.
So I want to conclude that unless you have not any theoretical knowledge you can't be a good manager. It could be a case that the person can get success in marketing not exactly in marketing but in sales but if they want to get success in finance or supplychan or HR. He/she must have the knowledge of classroom learning. |

Well i totally agree to this point as Jayabaskar said that when you have to face the world you cant just speak out the stuff you have learnt in the class. There are different conditions in real life. What we learn in the classroom is the reel life but in the real life we need experience to face these challenges. And skill comes with experience.

A person can become successful not only through education. It is only the person's skill, hardwork and zeal to reach the zenith.
There is no need of studying the rules to play a game, it can be learnt by seeing others playing or playing himself one can learn which comes from experience. This is called practical experience.
One should know how to manage things practically which comes by experience.
So it is experience which make a person how to manage things practically. So managerial skills comes by experience and not when theoretically learnt.
So experience speaks for itself. |

A debate that has been around for long, still continues. Class room learning Vs experiential learning. When one talks about management skills, we are dealing with hard skills and soft skills - hard skills of finance, operation marketing, human resource as well as the soft skills of leadership, team building, communication and so on. It is pivotal for any student aiming for the stars to go through the rigorous and laborious process of mastering these skills.
The platform for such learning is in a classroom. Classrooms provides an aspiring management student the opportunity to not just learn but also experience the world of management. While many of of my fellow speakers have pointed out that the experience is the best teacher, I too agree with them. However, the appropriate channelizing of that knowledge is appropriate as well as effective only in a classroom.
To bridge the classroom and industrial divide, many universities and institutions are adopting numerous programs that enable the student to embrace and get the feel of the real world. Plethora of avenues are available for a management student to apply what he/she has learnt in class in practical situations. Further, a student gets the added benefit being tutored and mentored by qualified professors who posses an ocean of wisdom. Therefore, I would like to conclude that there is nothing taking away the titanic benefits that classroom learning has to offer for a student.

| Well, here we are comparing the managerial skills developed by learning in classroom and the other one gained by experience. Though theoretical background is essential but one could develop these skills only through experience by facing critical situations where one has to take correct decisions. One just cannot play the game just by knowing the rules but by implementing those rules while practicing. We also see various great businessmen who don't have MBA degree. They were not managers by birth but their experience makes them perfect in their managerial skills. |

| According to me the managerial skills that we learn in classroom acts as a base when performing in the real world. Nobody can play a game without knowing the rules. Thus one's you know the basics (rules) , anybody can implement the skills at the workplace and make the best use of the managerial skills learnt. Classroom teachings helps to generate a fair idea about what can be done in a particular situation regardless of, the situations are not always the same. As far as the experience is concerned it might not be wrong saying that, the experience which we get from our workplace helps us to be successful only if we implement the managerial skills we have learnt in the classroom. |

| Managerial skill is something that we cannot learn by just reading book. In class room a mere lecture is given which helps us to visualize the thing and circumstances with our close eyes. But the real scenario is just different from the way we think. So in order to gain proper managerial things we should in fact try it out in the practical way. For this is the only way to groom ourselves in the right path. For eg: nowadays each and every recruiter look for experienced personal for their company, this is because they want their employees to be ready to whatsoever challenges on their own will which will add to the reputation and goodwill of their company. Hence according to me every knowledge that we have gained should have the practical implementation. For nowadays it works more then the managerial skill that we get in classrooms. |

| Skills are not only learned in class rooms, through out our life we keep getting knowledge and skills even if we don't go to schools. Some of the biggest business people have not studied in classrooms but Remember they have studied by themselves from their surroundings. As all the people does not have this ability we should have classroom skills. |

Of course experience speaks for itself. How can one really complete an experiment by just studying about it and not practically implementing and getting involved.
I haven't seen a person achieve zenith in his/her field without handling or rather experiencing a particular situation. Moreover No person can tackle just on the base of studying a particular theory and as such experiencing in real is needed. |

| I won't accept that "managerial skills learnt in the classroom never match those learnt from experience". The skills learnt in the classroom are basic fundamentals and "they are the first best experience that we face". Definitely there will be a match, but on the analytical ability of the person he use to analyse the situation based on the classroom learnt skills with experience. |

Good evening to one and all, we know that 'EXPERIENCE IS THE BEST TEACHER'. In this fast growing technology we do see many successful people, all of them are not educated. It is only the way they grow for example the founder of dosa plaza merely do not possess any great educational background but he is a very successful businessman. He is not a management graduate his skills and zeal made him successful and with that experience alone he has been teaching several management graduates in a reputed institute.
I do say that it is only the person's zeal and hard work brings him success but not degrees. |

| If we don't have knowledge of theory we can't do practicals. Firstly Managerial skills is necessary. At least little bit knowledge of Managerial skills so that we can convert into experience. |

| But as per the current strategy of the class room program, they are just theoretical and less practical. So we can just understand virtually what managerial skill are. We practically understand only when we face the world and have our own experience. So I think its experience which teaches more regarding the real situation. |

Yes I agree with you Ranu. Unless a kid is taught how to walk on the floor, how can he climb the steps. So classroom learning is very essential before one is exposed to the real world situations. Through this, one can get to know a lot about what decisions are to be made at different situations.
It only depends on what way the student takes them. |

It's very true my friends that "Managerial skills learnt in the classroom can never match those learnt from experience", but never forget that for practical experience we need some theoretical background that can be gain only in classroom.
You can compare to person one who had some background knowledge with him will learn more fast than the one who is deprived of it. So I believe that experience sharpens your knowledge and give shine to it but classroom knowledge is equally important. |

| Experiance is the better teacher than the teacher in the classroom. Most of the things which we learn in the classroom is used to score marks in the examinations only. It is just like mugging up and vomitting and we omit to apply in practice. The live eperience alone is used more often to lead our lives. |

I would say that managerial skills could be developed only if one tries to tackle the situation effectively where ever one is and what ever the situation is. This could be learn t even in class or at any place, experience would however betters ones performance or skill.
But we cannot say that the class room managerial skills would dominate the real world experiences. |

Hi I would be so happy to start a conversation on the topic "Managerial skills learnt in the classroom can never match those learnt from experience"
It is a true statement since what ever you study in the class room they are only theoretical when the time comes to face the world it would be so different. Only experience can show you the real world. |
