Poor focus on research affecting Indian management schools: Harvard dean

The biggest weakness of Indian management schools is their lack of commitment to research and development, Nitin Nohria, the dean of Harvard Business School (HBS), said. Nohria said that, Chinese business schools have begun to focus research but Indian business schools have lagged behind, which reflects in their rankings. He emphasised on research for its own sake and said that around 90 per cent of research may not be constructive but academic institutions need to make the commitment to get research which is useful. http://www.thehindubusinessline.com/industry-and-economy/education/poor-focus-on-research-affecting-indian-management-schools-harvard-dean/article6760823.ece
