Should B-schools rely on visiting faculty?

VISITING FACULTY HAS ENORMOUS EXPERIENCE AND NEED NOT CONFINE THEMSELVES TO A LIMITED NUMBER OF BENEFICIARIES.LET MANY SHARE THEIR EXPERIENCE AND ENRICH THEMSELVES.

yes its good because with the bookish knowledge if students also get some practical experience then its very good for them.

Thanks for inviting to this debate Ms Ravali

I say yes Because Busines is not confined to perticular region or country ITS TRUELY A GLOBAL EVERY B-School should invite local & International Faculty. students learn not only business but also culture, way of living standerds, teaching methods,. Its more or less CROSS BREEDING.   

The concept of visiting faculty brings the joining of industrial experience and academic teaching together. In fact I would rate one subject by a visiting faculty from the relevant industry as providing double the benefit. 

Definitely visitng faculty concept should be made a compulsory requirement for B-Schools in the prefinal and final year. Even for IITs and engineering colleges 50% of the classes in the final year should be by Visiting faculty This would provide the students with a GOOD EXPOSURE IN TO THE OUTSIDE WORLD.

It is possible that only money drives some of the visiting faculty. But that may not hold true for a majority of them...

But think of the rich experience that visiting faculty provides - varied case studies application based on real-life examples. The experience of fixed faculty may not match this - particularly as their work environment demands and opportunities may factor against it.

Weeding out of visiting faculty who don't meet expectations is also a practice that I'm sure most institutes follow. So who gains? For sure it's both the students and the visiting faculty.

yes...yes..they can only give practical knowlege and they can teach their experiences...

Without such participation these schools would not get the benefit of sharing thoughts with business leader and faculties of reputed institutions worldwide. Age should not be any bar for such faculty so long they can deliver.

Yeah their knowledge and experience really useful for students... I think this is very good move by institutes...

Yes. B-school should rely as they have masters in their knowledge.

I agree with you. Their contribution to the students with their vast knowledge must definitely an advantage.
