Abstract :
Globalization and technological advancement
have prompted corporations and professionals to
continuously reevaluate their enterprises due to
significant financial challenges, innovations, and the
ever-increasing demands of business. Education and
training are crucial in addressing the issues of youth
employability, which ultimately contributes to the
prosperity of the nation. An MBA is a popular
educational choice among youth in India. However,
existing literature indicates that, despite its rising
popularity, employers often find Indian management
graduates to be lacking in employability.
This analytical study aims to understand and
analyze the findings and perceptions of various
researchers, authors, bloggers, and recruiters regarding
employability and the skill gap. Very few Indian
research studies have comprehensively explored diverse
viewpoints from various stakeholders through
qualitative inquiry.
The current article outlines the employability skill
gap among graduating management and other graduates
by synthesizing information from published research
papers, articles, blogs, and online sources. It also reveals
a significant difference in soft skills, such as critical
thinking, leadership, and independent decision-making,
among senior-level professionals compared to digital
skills. The article recommends that candidates acquire
soft skills during their preparation before joining
institutions and corporate settings.
Furthermore, the article seeks to evaluate the
factors contributing to the employability gap faced by
business students, while discussing and analyzing various
significant publications related to the skill gap. It offers
several strategies for addressing employability issues.
Additionally, the article will present reasons for the
discrepancies in graduates' employability and highlight
the skill gap, while also addressing the challenges
encountered in skill enhancement.
This review attempts to explore the determinants of
stock returns in the Karachi Stock Exchange (KSE)
using two asset pricing models: the traditional Capital
Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) and the Arbitrage Pricing
Theory (APT) model. To test the CAPM, market return
is utilized, whereas macroeconomic factors are
considered in testing the APT. These macroeconomic
factors include inflation, oil prices, interest rates, and
exchange rates. Monthly time series data has been
organized from January 2010 to December 2014 for this
analysis.
