Preamble
Preamble
IBS is committed to high quality levels in all its endeavours. In line with this commitment it has expressed its intention to encourage and foster research activity, which is the backbone of management education.To make this a reality it has set up ICFAI Institute of Management Teachers (IIMT), to act as the nucleus of doctoral research. IIMT also has the mandate to groom and supply to the IBS system scholarly faculty with sound research background. This in due course will impact the quality of teaching and research at IBS.
At ICFAI there is a strong emphasis on creating venues for publishing research related outputs. ICFAI publishes a large number of management journals and magazines in various areas of management and related disciplines. The management and allied books published have a focus on emerging and frontier themes. These publications are being well received by a wide cross section of professionals, academics and students.
Case research is another thrust area. Two affiliates of ICFAI namely ICFAI Knowledge Centre (IKC) and ICFAI Centre for Management Research (ICMR) are involved in developing high quality case studies in management.The untiring efforts of ICMR in developing comprehensive and situational cases are resulting in these cases being uploaded on European Case Clearing House (ECCH),UK,which are being used by many leading business schools across the world.
Post-Doctoral Fellowship Process at IBSThe IBS-PDF will be rigorous with periodic review of the progress of the 'approved individual research proposal' vis-à-vis benchmarks and milestones set. All fellows will be required to submit reports periodically describing their work progress during the two-year period. Fellows will also be required to provide copies of the final completed research report at the end of the fellowship.
The scholarly work culture at IBS will encourage creative research work. The research products thus emerging will have to find place for publication in internationally acclaimed refereed journals. Engaging the classes for bright young minds drawn from across the length and breadth of India with diverse academic background pursuing MBA program at IBS will be yet another challenging assignment. This will need the linking of research to classroom teaching.
The Fellowships, to the extent possible, will be designed to meet the individual and organisational academic objectives. The longer-term possibility for a successful postdoctoral researcher is the opportunity that exists for joining IBS as a faculty member at an appropriate level.
