Q1. Critically evaluate the transformation of industrial relations from a traditional conflictoriented framework to a strategic employment relations approach in the era of globalisation, digitisation, and gig work. Design a contemporary industrial relations framework suitable for emerging economies like India that balances organisational competitiveness, employee welfare, and labour rights.
Q2. “Trade unions are facing an identity crisis in the modern employment landscape.” Critically examine this statement in the context of platform work, contractual employment, artificial intelligence, and flexible labour markets. Develop a futuristic trade union model that can remain relevant in digitally mediated and non-traditional workplaces while maintaining worker representation and organisational cooperation.
Q3. A large manufacturing organisation is facing wage disputes, declining productivity, and increasing mistrust between management and employees during a major technological restructuring process. As an industrial relations consultant, formulate a comprehensive collective bargaining and negotiation strategy to achieve sustainable industrial harmony. Critically justify your approach with reference to bargaining structures, negotiation techniques, and long-term employment relations outcomes.
Q4. Critically analyse the effectiveness of traditional grievance handling and disciplinary mechanisms in contemporary organisations characterised by workforce diversity, remote work, and digital surveillance. Create an integrated grievance redressal and discipline
management framework that promotes procedural justice, employee trust, ethical governance, and organisational accountability. Q5. Industrial conflict is increasingly shaped by economic inequality, technological disruptions, and changing employment relationships. Evaluate the major causes and consequences of industrial conflict in contemporary organisations. Design a multidimensional conflict resolution model that integrates labour law, participative management, social dialogue, and preventive industrial relations strategies for sustainable workplace harmony.
