Abstract
In the present paper attention has been focused on the majority of Business Schools in India towards the extent of fulfilment of the goals and thus their capacity towards sustainability. A review on this aspect shows a rather dismal performance on the part of majority of B-schools. To turn the table for these B-schools towards the path of sustainability, ten strategies are outlined here in this paper. These strategies are: i) re-orient MBA curriculum, ii) ensure adherence to multi-attribute admission criteria, iii) recruit quality faculty, iv) use of relevant teaching materials, v) test and re-test teaching-learning pedagogy, vi) encourage competition amongst students, vii) enhance interaction with local organizations, viii) institutionalize mechanism of direct quality assurance of teaching and learning, ix) promote entrepreneurship culture within the Bschool, and x) focus on research. The paper analyzes the impact of the above ten strategies on various input and output parameters of learning and development using the system dynamic concept of feedback loop.
