Abstract:
The increasingly global nature of firms and businesses requires that business school graduates be ready to take up challenges associated with increasing competitive nature of the business as it is done today. It then hardly matters, whether the fresh B-School graduate is working in a domestic firm or a multi-national company because every job demands in varying degree, elements of timely decision making and making sense of opportunities in the context of changing goals, constantly questioning one’s “dominant logic” in the context of a changing environment, and revisiting “deceptively simple questions” about what we think to be true about markets and the firm. In this context it becomes relevant to find out the type of career profiles B-School students look for and the inner attributes that are preferred and given more importance by them. This paper attempts to seek the relationship between the admission criteria in premier Indian B-Schools and the career attractiveness of the students in these schools.
