1.Introduction:
The course aims at equipping students with an understanding of the research
process, tools and techniques in order to facilitate managerial decision making.

The business research concepts are taught and discussed in such a way that it
facilitates the application part of business research concepts and to help the
participants of classes to deal with the particular problems that are expected to
be encountered by participants of this course on the field. The course serves to
familiarize participants with basic business research concepts, environment,
strategies and methodology to be adopted to conduct different business research
for different purposes. The aim would be to develop business research skill sets
to tackle business & marketing applications under different business situations in
different circumstances. This process develops interests for the topic and the zeal
for participation as they try to share as much information as they have. I focus
specifically on the weaker section of the class and promote them to share their
views and ideas. Also, the students tend to realize the relative importance of the
unit/ each topic. For each and every unit students are told as to how many times
and what sort of questions have been asked from each topic from time to time .

2. Learning Objectives:

The course aims at equipping students with an understanding of the research


process, tools and techniques in order to facilitate managerial decision-making.
The broad objective of the course is to help the participants in understanding that
why, as compared to traditional research; the modern business research needs

1. Introduction:
They are the darlings of the corporate world. They spell big money and even
bigger egos. They can handle everything from events, analysis and interpretation
to big talk and similar walk! Yes, you guessed it right. Young and decisive
managers! Managerial Skills Development aims at building persons personality.
This set of character includes his attitudes, interests, behavioral patterns, social
roles, emotional responses, decision making, steering the organization towards
common objectives and much more!
To a large extent the survival and continued success of any business depends upon
owners and managers having a combination of leadership and good judgment
based on knowledge and information and a reasonable ability to steer the business
in the right direction. That’s wherein the importance of Managerial Skills
Development comes in!

Page 76 of 93
2. Learning Objectives: Managerial Skills consists of effective listening,
speaking, communicating in teams, leadership, decision making skills, creative
thinking, thinking out of the box, art of presentation, group discussion, extempore,
business etiquettes and much more!

The foremost objective of MSD Course would be to improve the student’s


confidence through good communication skills.

Communication is an integral instinct of all living things.


The importance of communication is best understood when there is a lack of it.
There is more to communication than just talk and gesture. Listening,
understanding and interpreting are as much integral to communication as words –
verbal, written or gestured. Yes, even gestures in communication play a crucial role
in conveying and interpreting the message! Similarly, how we communicate or
express ourselves goes a great way towards determining how our expressions are
interpreted.

To quote Karl Popper, "It is impossible to speak in such a way that you cannot be
misunderstood". Faulty or incomplete communication can completely mar the
purpose of communicating and may result in damaging consequences. This is
where understanding the importance of communication and communicating the
right way comes into picture.
