For the last couple of decades, academics and practitioners of management have been concerned about developing managerial skills. We conceptualized an intervention aimed at augmenting the conceptual skills of participants in a niche (Information Technology) domain institution’s management program at post-graduation level. Here we discuss the intervention approach and conduct, and measurement of its effectiveness. After the completion of input delivery, the participants were examined to assess the extent of change in conceptual skill. The result has been encouraging and the authors plan to continue with the exploration in years to come.

Abstract


For the last couple of decades, academics and practitioners of management have been concerned about developing managerial skills. We conceptualized an intervention aimed at augmenting the conceptual skills of participants in a niche (Information Technology) domain institution’s management program at post-graduation level. Here we discuss the intervention approach and conduct, and measurement of its effectiveness. After the completion of input delivery, the participants were examined to assess the extent of change in conceptual skill. The result has been encouraging and the authors plan to continue with the exploration in years to come.
