Management and Labour Studies (MLS) is the official publication of XLRI-- Jamshedpur, published in collaboration with Sage. XLRI--Xavier School of Management-- is one of the oldest B-schools in India to bring a change in the economy and society at large. First published in 1975, Management and Labour Studies draws on the ancient Indian spirit of jñana—a philosophy that values experiential knowledge as the pathway to self-realization, deeper worldly insight, and ultimate liberation. Resonating with the central idea of empirical learning, the first issue of MLS advocated the incorporation of basic managerial skills in life and the impact of wages on industrial disputes, along with other impactful management theories.
