Management Education in India (eBook, PDF)

Perspectives and Practices
Redaktion: Thakur, Manish; Babu, R. Rajesh

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This volume problematizes different facets of management education in India-pedagogy, curricula, and disciplinary and institutional practices-from the perspective of the Global South. The essays in this volume bring out the institutional challenges of crafting a relevant academic programme that converses with both national specificities and global realities. Coming from diverse academic specializations, the contributors traverse the interface of their respective disciplines with management education. In doing so, they engage with the ongoing global debate on management education. This volume fills a noticeable gap of serious, scholarly reflection on the state of management education. While there have been sporadic reflections and occasional critiques, a critical stocktaking of the institutional and disciplinary aspects of management education has been long wanting. This volume is of interest to scholars and practitioners of management education across the globe, and is likely to generate debate on its contemporary relevance and future trajectory.

Rezensionen

"I believe that Management Education in India is a good introduction to business/management studies in India ... this book is important for further studies, not only to analyse the influences of localisation, but also to research the ways dominant discourses remain reproduced in institutions of higher learning in India." (Maziar Jafary, LSE Review of Books, blogs.lse.ac.uk, January,2018)
