Abstract
Fresh management graduates face daunting challenges in developing their early professional career. They have to shift from espoused learning approach encountered at management schools to enacted practices of learning approach they encounter at work. To bridge gap between these two approaches, this exploratory research work provides insights into developing andragogical learning approach with a focus on self-directed learning. We use self-directed learning and Kolb’s experiential learning cycle model for developing the conceptual framework. We intend to carry out the exploratory and qualitative study in three phases. Graduate students, young management executives and senior executives who have the responsibility in recruiting these graduates will be interviewed in each phase. Inductive analysis of the qualitative data will enable us to andragogical learning approach which will reduce the gap between espoused and enacted learning approach. Our study will prepare the management graduates for a successful early professional career.
