Business History, as a discipline, has been taught in some business schools since the 1970s. However, it has only recently become more common in the curriculum in management schools across the world. A course in Business History attempts to bridge the gap between management studies and humanities, enabling an interdisciplinary approach to business studies.
In this webinar, we will discuss the following questions: What is business history? Why is it relevant for management education in India? How should we teach it? What can history teach us about business management in the contemporary world? The webinar will be of interest to students and educators in management and history.
