By way of better achieving the institute's mission of creating business ready managers, an empirical study requirement has been introduced as part of our PGPM starting May 2007 coordinated by Yale-Great Lakes Center for Management Research.
The empirical study requires that every student do a real-life study under a guide, thus enabling our excellent faculty resources to be utilized more effectively. The real-life study allows for an in-depth analysis in one vertical (industry), of an important managerial or organizational issue spanning at least 2 horizontals (functional areas), thus turning out to be a unique advantage for every graduating student.
This empirical study is an individual project, will span the entire year, will count as six credits (equivalent to two 3-credit courses), and will require not less than 160 hours of student input. The expected outcome of the empirical study is a paper coauthored by the student with the faculty guide, to be submitted to a refereed journal or conference.
