Abstract

This chapter examines the current status concerning the teaching of “organizational behaviour” in postgraduate management education in India. The author identifies seven key issues that need to be considered in achieving more effective engagement with the topics involved. These issues arise from multiple factors such as training and role of faculty, structure of the programmes and the nature of stakeholder engagement. The chapter concludes with a few actionable recommendations which faculty and programme administrators can consider while planning and teaching courses in the area.
