Academic and Professional Engagement of Students in Business Programs in India: Pedagogical and Practical Issues

Abstract

One of the most well-known certification bodies, The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB International) is a prominent certification body that promotes, advocates, and supports quality management education globally through thought leadership, accreditation, and value-added services (AACSB-2016). The objectives of global management education are furthered by the standards, protocols, and practices established by the AACSB, grounded in the organization's mission and core values. These standards and protocols are designed to accommodate significant paradigm shifts in culture, demography, and the economy, both locally and globally. Such changes pose challenges and threats but also offer opportunities for proactive business schools willing to explore and seize them. The impact of business programs and related activities, stakeholder engagement, and program innovation are these imperatives, or pillars of accreditation.
