It can be explained with an example, an experienced mason can build buildings without any educational qualifications, but he cannot teach or train a person theoritically. An experienced Civil Engineer can do both. Anu Jose C.V. Officer - Facility Management SI Property (Kerala) Pvt.Ltd.

A qualified may fail and an experienced may also fail as the most important is fruitfull results of the performance. So Performer word is appropriate than a qualified and experienced. A performer must be given opportunity irrespective of qualification & experience.

A highly experienced person is more an asset and never a liability to any industry. First and foremost they professionalise decision making in the progress of the industry.Theoritical knowledge is necessarily required but surely experience stakes a higher value. They could be given assistance of recent amendments by a personal advisor.

With experience come wisdom ,if a person has the minimum qualification,experience and meets the requirements of the organisation he should be given more opportunity than a new bee with enormous qualifications.Academic qualification can never stand on shoulder with proven applied knowledge. Unless otherwise the organisation is like our government and don't want to b competitive

This question is like asking "you are in Kings side or in states side considering king is loyal to state". Answer of this question varies along with situation. I would like to say that either it is wrong question or incomplete question.

I am not sure if we can mark yes or no here... as far as the debate is concerned, "Highly Qualified" itself gives the answer.....anybody who is qualified for a role should be given that opportunity...irrespective of their education or experience....the person should meet the basic requirements....not sure if i have missed something in the question.. :D

Person's with Good Academic Track Record, Dosent needs to be a Good Leader in the Practical Application of his knowledge to the prevailing un certian business situations. Where as persons with sound academic qualifications but, good experience can handle multiple situations on his application knowledge. Hence, corporate's must thinks for giving opportunity to take senior level responsibilities internal candidates instead of external candidate with more academical qualification.

It should be a combination of both. However, in the corporate world despite how much experience you have without the expected qualification you will not climb the ladder. This is the reason you find many employees try to improve on their qualification while employed so they can get promoted and also become marketable.

Its true knowledge , skill and experience go hand in hand . However, overall work experience with some behavioural aspects or attitude go a long way and generally has the maximum weightage Academic qualification can be considered for growth opportunity in following scenarios : 1) The person is known to possess skill and knowledge that is tried and tested and known to be successful for a given job role. Maybe some statistical data about such candidates as a whole can prove to helpful. This task can be done at the time of finalizing the candidate , by the HR Rep of Business Unit and aid in decision making to the Businsess Unit Head 2) If there is a close tie between multiple candidates for a given position However, practically considiering the deadlines and the SLA of the business operations and functional units like HR to close a given task, its not surprising poor background planning or lack research attidutude or lack of data for that matter are adequate reasons for escaping certaining practises. In the long, result w.r.t performance or the output for the business unit or organizational unit may be obvious, in such cases . Need not overemphasied cheeers

Till the time a person does not work and practically prove himself. And even if the candidate gets promotion, it will be a new dimension of work for him/her so it will be as good as a fresh candidate with no experience working at a new level. The basic thing to see in a person is not only the calibre, we need to notice his/her urge to complete the task with lot of clarity and conviction. However, the decision depends on the panel who selects and takes decisions.

A good "Performance Apprisal" might give the answer. It is the performance which might matter and here two wo/men with qualification or with vast experience are equal. We may not ignore that RabindraNath Tagore and Bill Gates had no big degrees. Equally, a wo/man with high qualification shall start his/her career in higher stage and with good qualification may claimb the ladder quick if otherwise her/his performance is good. "Performance Apprisal" may take all aspects in consideration.

I used to know a Regional Manager (East) of Ballarpur Industries Ltd. to be a School Final, while its Western R.M. to be from IIM(A). I happen to interact with their National Marketing Manager and he confirmed that there was no resentment among his Two colleagues nor has he felt sorry, at any point of time, about his management's decision to have this arrangement.

Well, it depends,which field are you talking about.An automobile engineer must be qualified first and then he should have enough experience to climb the ladder but when it comes to retailing,it is the understanding of the customers and product first.A experienced retailer is always better than a highly qualified retailer.But anyhow,the combination is the best.

Actually difficult to say either way. This is the classic 'merit versus seniority' conondrum. Best is where seniority is attained through merit not just through years spent on the job for that may just be 20 years experience equal to one years' experience multiplied by 20.

Knowledge & experience makes a man perfect, we can go bias with either knowledge or education. In practical, we need a combination of both. Few things came with experience only, but few only by education & knowledge. But it totally depends upon job requirement, few jobs will be completed by experience holders, but few are those which can only be highly qualified. So this can only be decided by competency matrix. Now a day’s industries are more focused on freshers, because they can mould in as per requirement. But experience people, sometime have rigidity also. So, we prefer a combination after analyzing the required job profile & skills required to perform the job.

How a person performing in work is important. A man with lot of degree and experience may not be a good performer, as such attitude and personality also plays vital role. In short it is a mixture of qualification, experience, attitude etc.

Difficult to choose between the two as both are equally important. However, I will put my money for the experience candidate. It is much easy to provide the necessary theoretical knowledge to an experience guy by way of crash courses. I am sure the experience added with knowledge via crash course will provide better and quick result, than promoting a guy based on qualification alone. After all years of experience cannot be acquired overnight.

I agree with Gargi, they both have their own importance.
Wanted to share - when we hired new blood from business schools what company gained is: - No new ideas, but higher cost
- Inexperience staff with no exposure of corporate culture, ethics, policies
- The experienced ppl resigned resulting in loss of expertise, hence affecting new business proposals
- Casual approach towards work but no extra hrs, but ready resignations
So what I felt was experienced ppl needs to be merged with new talent in a way, that the output shows some results!!! I believe...

It should be given to the 'competency' whether coming from experience or from high education & overall performance so far should be the criterion.
