When a professional leaves the security of a government job to shift into academics, he does so only because he is truly dedicated to teaching and learning. Dr. Masood H. Siddiqui quit his job as statistical officer for the UP government after three years of service. He believed he was better suited to the calling of a teacher.
\nIn 2005, Dr. Siddiqui joined Jaipuria Institute of Management<\/a>, Lucknow. He now has 13 years of teaching experience in Quantitative Analysis, Operations Research, Research Methodology and Data Analysis behind him. Dr. Siddiqui\u2019s approach to the course is completely aligned with business and industry. While teaching at Jaipuria<\/a> Lucknow, Dr. Siddiqui realised that courses like decision-science are not very popular among the students because they are perceived as complex and mathematical. He decided to evolve a methodology to make the course more acceptable and student-friendly without diluting its content. As he puts it, \u201cThe objective has been to develop the conceptual clarity and understanding for objective decision-making without making it complex.\u201d
\nDr. Siddiqui also identified that these courses were seen as non-core management courses and not very useful in dealing with real business situations. He says, \u201cThese complexities and dogmatism have distanced the students and future managers from these subjects and they are opting out of such courses in almost all management institutes, including the top-ranking ones.\u201d This trend, however, is creating gaps in the globalised world of business. The competition is tough and management by intuition is no longer enough. He thinks \u201cA need is being felt for \u2018numbers\u2019 to support intuitions and some enhanced analytical and logical tools to support the decisions being made.\u201d
\nHe points out another change in the environment \u2013 knowledge process outsourcing \u2013 that makes it necessary for students to build these competencies. The objective of the decision science courses is to understand the environment surrounding the problem, to figure out what the problem really is, analyze the available courses of action and choose the best one available.
\nUncertainty in the business scenario makes the task of choosing the appropriate solution difficult. Dr. Siddiqui has turned this problem into a solution for the students.\u00a0 He shifted the focus from theory, statistical tools and concepts to the quest for answers to the questions that were raised! \u201cWe managed to change the very nature of questions arising in the minds of the students and successfully imparted rational answers to those questions. Hence the curiosity in the students\u2019 minds was logically addressed.\u201d
\nThe students have appreciated the innovative teaching method and Dr. Siddiqui is reveling in the success. His only wish is to continue to inspire generations of students with the subjects he loves.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
