Cultural and behavioural
expectations of studying for
a degree in business
management
Before attending school, I did not know about the
cultural and the social environment but now I have
been able to know that the Cultural and social
expectation are the expectation that the teachers
expect from the students by giving them the
standards of the behaviour and cultural norms that
is put forth by the system of that school (Jones,
2018). The first cultural and social expectation
that teachers has expected from me in business
management school is to make and follow the
positive environment of the school, with following
all the principles and morals in the schools. These
things help all the students in disciplining them
and gaining the chances of opportunities in the
future events and management in the school.
Organized cultural environment includes the
social ethics to be followed by every student that
will help the students in changing the performance
management strategies. The cultural expectation
also includes the morals, rules- regulations,
languages, art, customs etc. that to be followed,
while the social expectation includes only the
Work culture of the management
is completely driven by its main
purpose which is to place every
student from the management
field to great companies by
inculcating values and
professional behaviour in them
(Dochy and Segers, 2018). Here,
from my personal experience the
entire journey of management
has inspired and motivated each
person to be very much engaged
with the work that has been
given to us and this
concentration power of being
focused will help me in my
future. The positive work culture
of the place has lead to a great
productivity, great experience,
and good interactions with other
people. The learning from the
management culture will help

rules that are need to be followed as they are
governed by the system and that is acceptable by
the society. Some other social expectation from
students in the business management school is to
create the friendly and supportive environment in
the school by helping each other. The Students in
the school are always expected to follow the high
standards of the work habits, arriving school on
time with all the important supplies and the
material needed to the students in order to learn
things in the class and at the end students are
demanded to complete their assignments on the
time. In short, students in business management
school are expected to cooperate with teachers,
responsible for their assignments and should do
best all the time when they are required to.
me in my future career where I
personally think, it will be very
easy to cope up with the work
pressure, relationships with the
employees, dealing with the
problems and any other
uncertainty that takes place.
Throughout the journey I learnt
motivation is the key to success.
Motivation has always helped
me in the management course, to
keep up even with the horrifying
experiences at the place. With
all the motivations and the other
learnings during the course I
personally have become
confident about my personality
and I now willing to take new
steps in my life. With the
mindset after the course of
management I am now open to
the new learnings as well.
The importance of peer-
to-peer support and team
working to enhance
learning experience
Peer-to-peer learning means the technique and the
process whose main goal is to promote the team
collaborations between and the to establish the
system where students learn from one another
(Chandra and Palvia, 2021). Learning business
management in the school I was able to
I was also able to learn the
process of peer-to-peer learning
which will help me in sharing
my knowledge with others and
at the same time learn from
them. As in future I want to

understand the importance of the peer-to-peer
learning as it helps me in gaining more knowledge
and leads me to the positive attitude that
eventually increases my problem solving ability
and the strategic thinking. Team collaboration,
presentation and various forms of cooperative
learning through group activities in business
management school helps in retaining information
easily and also helps in applying them practical
life. It importance can be understood from the
benefits the peer-to-peer learning brings in the
business management school-
 The first important benefit is the private
time that teachers give in this process for
increasing students personalized learning
experience with the teacher.
 The active and interactive learning in
school encourages motivation of the
students that helps students in taking
initiatives and use their creative mindset.
 Peer-to-peer encourages the growth of
students as they have deeper understanding
of the things that are being taught to them.
 Peer-to-peer learning helps students in
taking responsibilities by doing their own
task properly while doing team activities
and different collaborations.
 The another important benefit from that
arises while this process is the fact that the

things that you lean during that

most. These things help in

work life.

both peers are able to gain knowledge by
regular interactions.
These were some benefits that describe us the
importance of the peer-to-peer learning in
business management school. In short without
peer-to-peer learning is not possible to have
deeper and the wider understanding of topic being
taught to the students. This is why every school
must assign student the group activities and
different collaborations through which students
can learn easily.
