Abstract
This paper explores the interactions among MBA students within virtual environments and investigates the reasons behind their inadequacies in practical skills. Following the COVID-19 pandemic, many universities and institutions have fully adopted virtual interactions. This shift has led to students' inability to acquire essential hard skills crucial in the professional realm. MBA students, as potential entrepreneurs and intrapreneurs, are vital to the economic framework of a nation. This study employs a phenomenological research methodology, utilizing in-depth interviews to comprehend their experiences with virtual interactions. Two interviews were conducted with MBA professionals to gain insight into their experiences. The primary ?nding of this research indicates that virtual interactions have been particularly ineffective for students required to develop predominantly hard skills. In terms of implications, this study aids policymakers in grasping the consequences of virtual engagements. Disciplines requiring practical skills should refrain from virtual-only interactions; however, if necessary, a hybrid model could be adopted.
