Conceptual Framework
The management school graduate, or MBA, is considered to be technically sound but arrogant and demanding. They are seen as intolerant of superiors, hankering after an affluent life style, and given to changing jobs frequently. The purpose of this absorbing volume is not just to test the validity of these perceptions but to explore the inner world of the young Indian manager. Based on a ten-year longitudinal study of 125 professionals in India, this fascinating study reveals rare insights into the world of the young managers of India.
