(University of North Bengal, 2016-03) Biswas, Debasish; Mitra, Debabrata
Business education has a vital role to play in today’s dynamic global arena where at every moment the new challenges are to be met. In order to meet the growing demands most of the multinational and transnational corporations need MBAs who are adaptable, flexible with entrepreneurial attitude and who can act as change agents in the organization. But there is a huge gap between what industry looks for and what is available in terms of skilled students. Enhancing employability skills in business education is considered as an important challenge for all universities, colleges and institutes. We have deliberately made an attempt to judge the employability skills of Management students and we are also interested to know the perceptions of employers as well as teachers of different management institutes in terms of their employability. This study will also try to focus on the existing gap between employers and academicians in terms of employability of students. Above all our study will be helpful in exploring new vistas of skilled development in business education that will serve future job market requirements in business education in a better and efficient way.

(University of North Bengal, 2019-09) Dutt, Kallol; Biswas, Debasish; Sahu, Tarak Nath
This study attempts to examine the functioning of adjudicating machinery under the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 in West Bengal during the period from 1991 to 2015 i.e., entire post globalisation period. During the study period the mean rate of disposal per year is 16.4% which is quite low. Again, on an average, in 34 cases per year there are complaints regarding violation of award. If we deduct the cases of award violation, the effective rate of disposal comes to around 13.83%. During the same period the mean rate of award violation is 15.65% which is quite high. If the cases where the parties preferred appeal before higher Courts are considered the rate of disposal will fall further. The study shows that adjudication as a means of settling industrial disputes is not serving its purpose.
