For the first time, this book offers a comprehensive collection of cases for managers to understand challenges in Industrial Relations. This casebook offers to readers an opportunity to engage with a variety of problems allowing them to discuss and deliberate the issues highlighted and explore possible ways to resolve them. It is only through thinking about the multiple dimensions of a problem, and the interlinks among them does one develop a judicious approach towards Industrial Relations.

The collection of cases will be of immense value for managers from different disciplines, apart from those belonging to the Plant HR and Industrial Relations department, to develop their understanding of managing different situations.
