Simulation-based teaching provides opportunities to simulate the scenarios/situations by integrating different technology into educational practice to make it look like a real situation. The use of a simulation approach has been widely used in health, engineering, nursing, architecture, medicine, aviation, and marine courses, ironically, management education has not been at the forefront of simulation-based learning. This research aims to prioritise the inhibiting barriers faced by teachers to adopting simulation-based teaching in higher education institutions of India. Previous studies have identified inhibiting factor but none of the studies has prioritise those factors therefore this research has used AHP approach to prioritise the inhibiting barriers. This study has identified and prioritises four main inhibiting factors. Institutional-level factors have secured the highest rank, followed by technological-level factors, operational-level factors and personal-level factors.
