Dr. Uday Salunkhe’s Views On The Importance Of Higher Education
Many students who aspire to pursue post graduation often ask Dr Uday Salunkhe, Director of Welingkar Institute of Management, what is the difference between executive education programs and regular MBA programs.
His answer to this is that while MBA is a more general programme, executive education is geared towards equipping managers transform into business leaders. Quality executive education focuses on challenges of leadership and provides perspectives on emerging as a leader .Executive education and MBA are different in their approach, content and expected results.
As an executive moves up the organizational hierarchy he acquires some experience and know-how of the work place; and he develops specific skills and knowledge gaps that need to be taken care to keep his career graphs growing. Executive Education fills this gap. MBA is more generic whereas Executive MBA /PGDM programs are meant for Dr Uday Salunkhe

executives who want to learn new skills and move up the hierarchy.
Dr Uday Salunkhe goes on to explain that new trends are emerging in the executive education space and hence, Indian conglomerates/MNCs use executive education with part-or-full sponsorship as a development and incentive/loyalty tool for senior management.
The content and pedagogy has changed drastically, especially in the advanced management programs. In addition to this, Dr Uday Salunkhe says that one should not go by the nomenclature of the course – PGDM or MBA – does not matter as much as the standards set by the B school which must translate into tangible results; quality learning in the participant.
