Abstract
Mintzberg (2004) in his book Managers not MBAs has noted that an MBA course tends to focus on analytical skills, and hence, prepares students for nothing. Ghosal (2005) has noted that bad management theories were destroying good management practices. Bennis and O'Toole (2005) have attributed the failure to produce relevant research to business schools' obsession for scientific research and hiring professors with limited organisational experience, who end up producing research and teaching that is not relevant to managers and organisations outside. The issue of 'irrelevance' of management education is more acutely experienced in India as business schools in India tend to rely on the Western world even for the text books. It is high time to revitalise management education in India by contextualising both course curriculum and andragogy. This paper has made a serious attempt and offered a few suggestions to re-engineer the management education in India. The author has argued and presents a case for educators and educational administrators to take a fresh look at the course curriculum, andragogy, and students' learning outcomes of management education in India.
