Comparative Study of ‘systems of justification’ among Indian students of business/management institutions; Cases of study: Private and Public business/management institutions in province of Karnataka’

This thesis deals with how Indian students of business/management schools adapt themselves with neo-managerial and entrepreneurial discourses presented in such schools. More specifically, I study the ways by which the aforementioned students adapt their socio-cultural background with the discourses of justification presented to them during their MBA program. In other words, I analyze how Indian students appropriate neo-managerial and entrepreneurial discourses during their MBA program.
In order to fulfill my research, I will interview students of MBA programs of two prominent Indian business/management schools: IIM-Bangalore and AIMS Bangalore. I will conduct approximately twenty to thirty interviews of one hour in each school which mostly focus on the projections of the students of their courses of action in their future careers. Furthermore, I will record and analyze five to ten focus groups in these two schools in order to better understand the dynamics of group discussions and networking among the students.
