Abstract

Effective supply chain management (SCM) is crucial for India's defense sector to ensure operational readiness and national security. However, persistent challenges in inventory control and logistics coordination continue to impact efficiency. This study examines the supply chain management (SCM) dynamics in Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh, which holds strategic potential due to industrial zones such as Malanpur and Banmore. Despite this, local contribution to defense procurement remains limited, as evident in the Jabalpur Vehicle Plant's sourcing of only 10% of components from state vendors—primarily due to technological and quality constraints. Through field interviews, surveys, and stakeholder consultations, the research identifies critical factors influencing supply chain management (SCM) performance, including technology adoption, infrastructure readiness, and quality compliance. The study highlights the potential of local micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) to enhance their capabilities by leveraging national initiatives such as "Make in India" and "Atmanirbhar Bharat." Key recommendations include developing digital skills, investing in ERP systems, and providing stronger policy support to facilitate the better integration of MSMEs into the defense supply chain. The findings also emphasize the importance of collaboration among government agencies, private industry, and research institutions to address bottlenecks and promote innovation. By focusing on Gwalior's regional context, this study offers actionable insights that can inform broader reforms in India's defense logistics ecosystem, helping to build a more agile, resilient, and self-reliant supply chain architecture across the country.

Abstract

Purpose − This study explores the integration of game-based learning technologies within management education to evaluate their influence on student engagement, motivation, and academic performance. The primary purpose is to assess whether gamification can enhance the learning experience for postgraduate business students by replicating real-world challenges in an interactive environment. Method − A mixed-methods research design was adopted, involving surveys, classroom observations, and academic performance data from 150 MBA students across five Indian business schools. Game-based tools such as simulations, point systems, digital quizzes, and interactive role-play were implemented in subjects including marketing, operations, and strategic management. Quantitative analysis revealed that students exposed to gamified instruction demonstrated improved motivation levels, higher participation rates, and a statistically significant increase in academic scores. Qualitative feedback from focus group discussions further emphasized students’ preference for engaging challenge-based activities over traditional lectures. Findings − The study concludes that gamification fosters active learning, improves conceptual understanding, and contributes to better classroom dynamics. However, it also highlights the need for thoughtful implementation, faculty training, and technological support. It is recommended that management institutes gradually incorporate structured gamified modules aligned with course outcomes and industry applications. Additional data collected includes comparative test scores, student satisfaction ratings, and faculty observations, which support the positive impact of gamification. The findings provide actionable insights for educators, curriculum designers, and academic administrators aiming to modernize MBA pedagogy through technology-enhanced strategies.
