Abstract

The objective of this chapter is to narrate the initiations of sustainability lessons for inclusion within an MBA-IT Business Management Curriculum. This process is elucidated in a narrative style. Initiation of AL began in the year 2013 and improvised in 2014. ‘Trial and Error' experimentation in the year 2013, with ‘out of the box' lessons, achieved initial success with highly positive student feedback. AL was improvised in 2014 with industry visits, reflecting on corporate social responsibility and collaborations with civil society organizations. For easy comprehension of the thought process of AL iterations, it is recommended to understand Figure 1. Each AL activity is marked with year-wise sub-headings and AL reflections. For the stakeholders interested in modifying in higher education with AL, this institutional choice of sustainability and emphasis on sustainability AL is useful. Unlearning of previous social responsibility action patterns, usage of multiple intelligence, and experiential learning of social issues by IT Business students are the highlights of this chapter.
