Author(s) : Prof. S. Rangnekar, Dr. Meenakshi Harraw Verma ISSN : 0974 - 497 Year : November 2020 | Volume : 14 | Issue : 2/4 Abstract: Introduction Today, when the world is experiencing tremendous technological changes, it is imperative to discuss what our managers should be taught to handle the upcoming challenges. The constant factor is that the technology will keep on changing but not the people who work with the technology, so it becomes the responsibility of our technical institutions to produce people with strong technical knowhow at the graduate level and commendable managerial skills at the post graduate level. (When we talk about technology, we talk about knowledge and when we talk about management we talk about skills). Our close observation at the technical and management course curriculum suggests that technology is all about knowledge and expertise whereas management is all about skills and attitude. For example, a technical graduate is always taught how to operate a machine, but he is not taught how to operate if the machine fails. For later, he has to exercise his managerial skills and aptitude. Management Education is designed for developing the people with out of the box thinking to run and manage the organisations. The objective of the paper is to identify new knowledge streams/disciplines likely to emerge in the evolving technology and suggesting specialized courses to help meet manpower requirements of the industry as well as to create a network of technical Institutions for sharing of common knowledge. Purpose The paper describes the changing paradigm in management education and discusses the present and future needs of industry and students to analyse the content items to be taught to the management students. The focus of the study remains on the curriculum of the management education in technical institutes. Methodology Exploratory research methods have been adopted to study the changes required to be included in the future curriculum of management education in technical institutions. Primary data has been collected through qualitative research tool. Review of literature serves as the secondary data source to study the current scenario and future industry requirements. Findings The paper provides an analysisof the needs as well as expectations of business world and students to arise in future and recommendations for the substantial changes required to be made in the management education curriculum in technical institutes.
