Although management education has emerged as an independent discipline in the recent past the practice of management has been there since ages. Our ancient Indian scriptures have been repositories of knowledge and references of modern management theories and practices can be found in them. Ramayana, one of the most popular scriptural texts of India has many lessons on management wisdom that can well be a part of modern management literature. The entire epic, if read and followed carefully, can give many modern-day management texts a run for their money. The present paper is an attempt to draw insights from Ramayana to enrich modern management practice.

Schedule and effort slippages are measures that practitioners in the Information Technology (IT) industry are all too familiar with. While we accept the fact that these slippages are realities of our day-to-day life, we put continual efforts to overcome or reduce the impact of these deviations. Our propensity to lose sense of time-taken and become over optimistic and thereby skew our planning is termed as planning fallacy.
This research is to study the planning errors, the reason for such behavior, its ubiquity in IT industry and how remedial actions may reduce planning errors. The intent is to approach the problem from a behavioral economics point of view, on the irrational approach followed by individuals that lead to planning fallacy. The research methodology adopted was experimental design with random samples chosen as control and treatment group. The results of the study and experiments establish the g presence of planning fallacy in many areas of task planning. Our results on the treatment group demonstrate that this judgment bias could be reduced to a large extent by periodic monitoring and facilitation.

The subject emotional intelligence (EI) now becomes a popular and a well researched area of study that does not need any introduction. The essence and relevance of emotional intelligence has been scientifically studied and researched in the academic as well as corporate arena. In spite of how EI has been appraised in general, its cultural relevancy still remains unrecognized. The assumption that emotions generalized are certainly not conveyable to all cultures. Hence, its cross-cultural importance is still considered as an unexplored area. Through this paper the authors tries to explore Daniel Goleman's 'EI Competencies' against the backdrop of Indian culture through the Arthasastra. It examines the resemblances and draws comparisons between the emotionally intelligent managers in the corporate world illustrated by Daniel Goleman, and the emotionally stable Rajarishi (a king who is wise like a sage) as mentioned by Kautilya in the Arthasastra.

Islam is one of the major global religions with over a billion followers living in all parts of the globe. The rise of Islam also coincided with the rise of several medieval trade routes spanning Asia, Africa and Europe including the famed Silk Route. Islam puts great emphasis on trade, commerce and mercantile exchanges and even the prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was a merchant. The Holy Qur'an contains as many as 1400 verses referring to economic issues, much more than any other holy book. Islam lays down very clear and practical rules and regulations as to how trade and business should be conducted. Several ethical issues relating to trade are dealt with in great detail and simplicity.

The contemporary epoch of a knowledge society requires a new approach to understanding of knowledge which is different from what was basic during the modern era up to now. The goal of knowledge societies is to foster peace and sustainability. It is imperative that strategies for action ensure that decisions at all levels promote the integration of knowledge within people's lives in ways that maximize the benefits and minimize harms, taking into account the goals of environmental protection, inclusive social equity and justice. Engineering and management are important and learned professions, which have a direct and vital impact on life of all people. They have to be conscious of the fact that by using available technologies it is possible to provide abundance for all human beings, but if not rationally applied may tend to completely destroy life on Earth. They must perform under a standard of professional behaviour that requires adherence to the highest principles of ethical conduct. They should also contribute to environmental protection and to sustaining the balance in nature. To be an engineer or a manager of a high quality one has to study, not only engineering and management, but also values and ethics. This paper aims to reflect upon the need to integrate ethical studies to reorient curriculum, programs and practices to address sustainability at institutions of technical education. It is also proposed that embracing sustainability in the curriculum will teach students make intelligent choices that will enhance their understanding and a wider appreciation of their role as a professional for sustainability of society.
