In today's corporate world, the need of the hour is for smart thinking, swift action and effective people skills - qualities that are more effectively developed in an experiential setting than through classroom training. Outbound programmes have been found to be particularly effective in areas that involve interpersonal relationships, trust and bonding, communication of shared vision and goals, motivation, behaviour modification in response to change, and personal effectiveness. With this premise in mind, Department of Business Administration organized an Outbound Training Programme for 127 students of Second year MBA at Bhagamandala, Madikeri District. Six faculty members accompanied the students for the training programme. The end outcome of the training programme was to develop skills such as group dynamics, crisis management, and leadership, knowing your team and working with the team, knowing your customer and negotiation skills. The students were divided into six teams and were allocated various activities. Team “Black” won the overall prize. There were several students who went through such training for the first time and were truly enthralled and fascinated by the experience they encountered in staying in a Dormitory in secluded environment and the obstacles one face in such situations.
