Teaching Pedagogy by Dr. Harshal Raje

Dr. Harshal Raje, Associate Professor at GBSRC informed the students about the 2 year MBA
program and how the complete teaching pedagogy is designed. He emphasized how GBSRC
prepares a student not only by helping them gain some specialized knowledge but also by giving
them the right tools and techniques which can be applied to different situations and
circumstances to solve any problem. In other words, they don’t have to reinvent the wheel but
instead know how to use the wheel in the best possible manner to solve the problems that they
will encounter in their professional life. GBSRC has adopted a two pronged approach in their
teaching pedagogy:

 Learning various concepts, models and theories which will equip students with the basics.
 Focus on Case studies and application based usage of tools. This approach is more
associated with learning process at the global level.

This two pronged approach to teaching pedagogy makes learning process at top MBA institutes
more holistic in nature i.e. it covers both theoretical learning as well as the application of
different theories and concepts.
