| Abstract: Management education today has undergoing a lot of turmoil. It has lost its importance and is largely looked at as a one of the basic degree of employment. Earlier management graduates enjoyed the attention of the corporate world and could carve their careers by progressing in the industry. But today, management degree does not ensure skill and employment. This study is an attempt to study the conceptual background of the gap. The study contributes in understanding various reasons behind the skill gap which is widely seen across the industry. |
