The Indian Institute of Management Bangalore (IIMB) has been ranked among the top 25 in the QS Masters Management Ranking 2018. The faculty’s research papers are published in top management journals like Harvard Business Review, Strategic Management Journal, to name a few. With a focus on holistic education, IIMB is the only Indian B-school in the network of 32 global B-schools convened by the Yale School of Management. IIMB Director G. RAGHURAM speaks with BW Businessworld’s WAQAR AHMED FAHAD on a range of issues concerning management education.
Why should students choose your school?
IIM Bangalore provides high-quality holistic and transformational education.
An AIMA vision document says that India should be the second best global hub after the US for B-school education by 2025. Is it doable?
Yes, it is doable with a focus on quality.
Why do top Indian B-schools not figure in the top global B-school lists?
This is incorrect. At least four schools from India figure in the top global Bschool lists.
How ready are Indian B-schools for Industrial Revolution 4.0?
The fundamental objective of top Indian B-schools are to prepare students to handle any situation, or, for that matter, any disruption in the environment. The top B-schools are definitely ready for this.
With entry-level jobs shrinking due to AI and automation, what plans do Indian B schools have to place their graduates?
I am not sure that AI and automation would affect entry-level managerial roles. In fact, the need would increase since we will need minds that will drive (with appropriate caution) and leverage the benefits of AI and automation.
What measures are Indian B-schools taking to create entrepreneurs instead of just job-seekers? What percentage of Bschool graduates turn to entrepreneurship at the outset?
