Commerce Education in The 21st Century

TAMIL NADU STATE COUNCIL FOR
HIGHER EDUCATION
CHENNAI 600 005
Report of the Workshop on

'Commerce Education in the 21st Century'
December 2005
Introduction
Quality and relevance of Higher Education have began to attract
increasing attention among policy makers and academicians as the
existing system faces new pressures from within as well as from outside
the country. The objectives of Higher Education can be achieved only
through qualitative change in the system. Quality depends on many
factors and proper curriculum planning and implementation is one such
factor.
Curriculum can never be static and must always change as the

frontiers of knowledge expand with time. Updating and restructuring
must continue to enhance the quality and standards of education. This
can be achieved by training teachers in developing curriculum, involving
teachers in preparation of curriculum and syllabi and periodical
updating of syllabi through workshops for teachers.
To bring in qualitative improvement in commerce education, the

Tamil Nadu State Council for Higher Education organised a two days
workshop on Commerce Education in the 21st Century. Teachers from
Autonomous colleges offering B.Com Degree and Members of Boards of
Study of Universities in Tamilnadu were invited for the workshop. During
the workshop, the participants prepared a model curriculum for
commerce and framed the syllabus. Initially, the teachers formed
themselves into three groups as Core subject group, Allied subject group
and Optional subject group. With the assistance of one coordinator for
each group selected from among themselves the participants had a
detailed discussion. Then, they identified the subjects and prepared the
syllabus for each subject.
The final copy of the curriculum and syllabus prepared during the
workshop were sent to the coordinators for further modifications. The
coordinators again met at the Council on 6th February 2006 and finalised
the curriculum and syllabus. The final draft was approved by the Council
1
during the meeting held on 1st March 2006. It is hoped that this
curriculum and syllabi will serve as a model to all colleges and
universities.
All the teachers felt that there should be some uniformity in the
core
subjects
taught
to
students
of
commerce
in
colleges
and
universities. The optional subjects may be selected by the respective

institutions according to local requirement. Keeping this in view the copy
of the curriculum and syllabi is circulated to all autonomous colleges
and universities of Tamilnadu for further consideration.

Introduction
In the context of the fast developing economy of India, the role of
commerce and trade is not only crucial but also consequential for a mixed
economy of natural, technological, traditional, cultural and all other potential
resources. On the one side of economics and on the other side of management,
commerce pervades national development in all its facets.
Commerce as an academic subject offered in tertiary education at
Bachelor Degree level has been evolving itself commensurate with the changing
lifestyles in the society over the years. Periodic changes in the three-year
curriculum are therefore incumbent on the part of the institutions offering this
programme.
From agricultural economy to industrial economy, there have been
marked developments in the last 55 years of the Republic of India. Business
concerned with agricultural products from the age-old barter trade to the recent
plastic money catapults itself into the trade of industrial products and again
ranging from machinery
(hardware) to mechanisms (software) and from
individual designs to network systems. Therefore there is a need to reorganize

and make changes in the commerce curricula at all levels.
Scope:
B.Com degree envisages a vast scope in the present social milieu.
Employment in all sphere of commerce and trade, enlargement into professional
areas such as Chartered and Cost Accounting, Business Management and
Administration, Computer Application and higher academic education leading
to Post-graduation and research. Besides all these streams, there is scope in
Social Work and Service, Self-employment and ancillary work of technical
assistance
to
professional
practitioners
as
consultants.
Therefore,
the
expectations of the employers from the higher education and social relevance
have been considered in developing this curriculum.
Aims & Goals:
To develop middle-level manpower for commerce and trade organization
To prepare for fulfilling the many-sided expectations of the modern

society
