Background
The management education in India is a great beneficiary of economic development that resulted in a growth spurt in the popularity of business schools. This is viewed as the beginning of glorious time for management education in the country. India has grown remarkably and has become one of the attractive destinations for doing business.
However, the need of the hour is that management research in India should capture and be synced with the economic and social development that has happened in the last few decades. India has various high-class institutions, such as IIMs and IITs, brimming with the large, potential pool of talent, which can be leveraged to produce required quality research for the country. Along with following western research model which usually based upon concepts and theories developed in the western context, we need to dwell more on Indian management practices. This demands an India specific research system that deals with indigenous managerial issues.
This is possible only if conscious, deliberate and serious efforts are put together by all leading institutions to focus on creating an environment for high-quality research and promote researchers to work on indigenous issues and develop cutting-edge solutions to the industry through pragmatic, actionable research. To achieve this, a lot of rigor and push are required to make management research in India more impactful and relevant. A profound discussion is required over Indianization of management research which is important for Indian management and businesses. With this background, this one-day conclave on “Redefining Management Research in India” is being proposed, where some of the best minds from across the country will assemble to embark on the issue.
