From the very genesis of management education as a formal discipline of study during early nineteenth century, it has undergone many changes in terms of content development, curriculum development and pedagogy. The systems prevailing in India preach the methodology of classroom lecture with intermittent or limited use of technology tools to impart education. However, under the present setting, the study partakes to find out the perception of students or learners and academicians and corporate or providers of management education towards a winning pedagogy from the myriad of traditional classroom and e-learning pedagogies suiting individual’s learning requirement resulting in higher learning gain. Traditional classroom teaching and Web-based instructional system (WBIS) of e-learning pedagogy have contributed to identify the variables of management education in this paper. From the observed variables, it was revealed that respondents preferred WBIS over traditional school of thought and another dimension of management education, that is, blended learning involving characteristics from the other two schools surfaced as the third factor.
