For three years now, B&E has been coming out with its critically acclaimed annual B-school rankings, which rank the top 30 B-schools in India uniquely based on the scores given by industry leaders to the top 30 B-schools (shortlisted on the basis of rigorous primary and secondary research by ICMR) on five critical parameters – course content, industry interface, faculty research & writing, global exposure and placements & packages.
The B&E B-School Panel Meet 2012-13 focused on whether ‘entrepreneurship’ and ‘social inclusion’ should be added to the five existing parameters to rank the top 30 B-schools. While there was widespread consensus on the need to inculcate an entrepreneurial spirit, panel members also expressed concern that B-schools were creating more employees rather than entrepreneurs. Dr. M. K. Chaudhuri, Founder-Director, IIPM, commented, “To be a successful entrepreneur, some experience is essential. Only after 3-5 years experience in some product/market, I can imagine that they can innovate on a new product and look forward to almost 100% success. A placement is absolutely necessary if you want to achieve some business objective.”
In terms of social inclusion, the debate centred on whether it is really relevant to corporate strategy, and consequently, to B-school education. Prof. Arindam Chaudhuri, Editor-in-Chief, Planman Media, asserted that it was an absolute necessity and stated, “At IIPM, we propagate the philosophy of ‘survival of the weakest’, as opposed to ‘survival of the fittest’, which is how the world runs. But if you want to change the society to a more humane society, you have to focus on ‘survival of the weakest’, which is also the philosophy that we follow in our families.” He further added that if the industry could lobby for purchasing power for the bottom 80%, they would be really lobbying for 20 years of profits.
