 The rapid evolution of technology in higher education has necessitated innovative approaches to management training. Virtual Reality (VR) has emerged as a transformative tool capable of bridging the gap between theoretical business education and practical skill development. This paper conceptualizes a Virtual Reality-Based Training Model (VRBTM) tailored for Management programs, outlining its core components—immersive business simulations, leadership and team management modules, AI-driven analytics, industry-specific training, and performance assessment mechanisms. Grounded in experiential learning and constructivist pedagogies, the model aims to enhance critical thinking, decision-making, and interpersonal skills crucial for managerial success. Additionally, the paper discusses the challenges associated with VR adoption, including cost constraints, content realism, and faculty training. By providing a structured conceptual framework, this study contributes to the discourse on digital transformation in business education, advocating for the integration of immersive technologies to prepare future leaders for the complexities of modern business environments.
