This study explores how an individualized approach to management education can enhance students’ leadership, strategic planning, problem-solving, resource allocation, and communication skills. Employing a mixed-methods design, the research involved 120 undergraduate students enrolled in management-related courses at a public university. Data were collected through baseline and post-intervention self-assessment questionnaires, structured interviews, and focus group discussions. During a 16-week intervention, participants engaged in tailored learning activities—such as case studies, simulations, role-plays, and reflective journals—aligned with their unique interests and competency gaps. Quantitative findings showed statistically significant improvements in key managerial skills, including an average increase of 15% in leadership and 18% in communication. Qualitative insights revealed heightened motivation, deeper engagement with course content, and greater self-confidence among students. However, the study also identified increased demands on both instructors and learners, requiring careful planning, resources, and continuous feedback. Despite these challenges, the results indicate that personalized pedagogy not only bolsters students’ management competencies but also prepares them more effectively for real-world organizational contexts. Future research should investigate the longitudinal effects of individualized learning on professional outcomes and compare its impact across diverse academic settings.
