Managerial skills learnt in the classroom can never match those learnt from experience

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.

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.

"life is not a sprint, its a marathon. Train well and there is nothing thats going to stop you from reaching the finishing point".

Friends I feel that the classrooms provide a base upon which a career can be built. We need classrooms and simultaneously we also need experience. Classrooms teach us basic skills and experience teaches us how to utilize those skills in the real world setting.

It is true that many successful people like Dhirubhai Ambani and LN Mittal did not receive formal education and still made it big but it is also true that the same people send their sons and daughters to best classrooms available.

Besides if you simply look at the percentage of people that become successful without receiving formal education, you will find it to be very low. That why I feel both are important in their respective capacities.

Hi, friends, I am very happy to convey my thought with you.

In my point of view, the managerial skills half of the part only learnt in the classroom. Once we try to apply in any field. In the first time, they got failed and that time experience will teach you.

Hello friends,

My name is Anurag Kanodia. I am expressing my views on the topic "Managerial skills learnt in the classroom can never match those learnt from the experience".

According to me, Knowledge gained in the classroom is necessary but it is of no use unless it is applied. Lets suppose there are two persons X and Y with X having more classroom knowledge but less experience than Y. Then according to me Y will have better managerial skills because he has able to implement whatever he has learn through classroom and books but X possess only theoretical knowledge.

Experience is always a winner in the race between "knowledge gained in classroom" and "Experience". If a person has experience he can cope up with the given situation more efficiently than the person who has only theoretical knowledge. Theoretical knowledge is incomplete without experience. A person can be successful only when he has both theoretical knowledge and experience.

Thank you.

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.

Friends, according to me, whatever you study in a classroom is going to be made practical in the real world. Learning will teach you how to behave in a professional world, and how the best manager could be,

If you don't have proper managerial skills then it becomes difficult to work.

So, I think that learning and then experiencing it is very important because if you have knowledge but cannot implement it then it is of no use.

Yes, I agree with the statement because experience will give you the direction in which if you apply your managerial skills, you will get the maximum output. And experience comes after starting a work. So, one started his work using his managerial skills taking some assumptions but you do not get the expected result but you came to know that certain assumptions which you consider are the reason of unexpected results. By experience, you also came to know about the situations where if your managerial skills went wrong, how to overcome those situations. So, we should start working taking help from experienced guys and develop our own experience.

Indeed, yes skills never match when they are taught in classrooms subject which is taught to analyze the outer world, but in the real world its everything different as we listen though skills we develop is extremely different and they gonna different from the others. Well, we all study bookish knowledge only to know how managers deal their skills in the corporate sector.

As my opinion, if you have theoretical knowledge then you can able to explain what you are doing but if you have experience in that particular subject then you can perform better and do that work efficiently.

For ex: If you are learning swimming and you have attended so many swimming classes but in practical you will be failed to swim but after practicing and knowing your difficulties you can able to do better. So for being successful both are important.
