A Study of Value Orientated Pedagogy in Management Education for Ethical Business Practices

摘要

Management Education strives at a comprehensive development of the individual-s personality, hence, the enormous emphasis placed on Knowledge, Skills, Values, Enterprise, Empowerment and other such traits to be imparted in the individual. In the era of intense conflict between Civilization Vs. Culture, Modernity Vs. Tradition and Technology Vs. Humanity, there is a need to understand the basic tenets of personality as reflected in the context of Globalization. Personality development needs to be understood as a qualitative and quantitative dimension, rather than a subjective and relative concept. This paper attempts to draw teachings from Indian traditional values and heritage in the development of a comprehensive personality. The Eight dimensions (8 is a number which symbolizes Reflection, Infinity and Growth, apart from its numerous traditional interpretations) of an integrated personality as defined by Indian values are, Health, Humanity, Happiness, Harmony, Hygiene, Honor, Humility and Honesty. The paper attempts to explore the possibilities of integrating the concept into management education through informal means of experiential learning, as it can only be practiced and realized, rather than through formal conventional methods of teaching and learning.
