Teaching Materials Dynamics of Industrial Relations by Mamoria C.B. and Sathish Mamoria is the book recommended for learning and reference for the students. In addition to this students will be given case analysis topics which require involvement and uniqueness in approach. Classes will be taken with power point presentations where in necessary concepts and flowchart will be elaborated upon. We expect prior preparation and cooperation from the students. Learning Approach The dominant teaching mode will be the lectures. Roughly 60% of our study group and classroom time will be allocated for case discussions and 40% for introductory presentations and discussions on concepts, techniques, theory, and applications. We will also spend 2 or 3 class sessions on case study. My intentions are to (i) encourage participative learning (ii) healthy debate and new ideas and (iii) promote depth of classroom discussion. In selecting the cases, preference is given for real time cases involving top-notch companies in the business world.

Course evaluation:
Evaluation Students will be evaluated based on a written exam at the end of the course and for the contributions that they make during study group preparations, classroom discussions, and in helping others prepare for the written examination.
