Two scholars from the Indian Institute of Management Calcutta (IIM-C) are showing the way. Raveendra Chittoor, a FPM student from Strategic Management Group has published in many international journals including the prestigious 'Organization Science' and also won an award at Beijing. Another IIM-C scholar Sumita Ketkar's work has been accepted by "The International Journal of Human Resource Management" (IJHRM) for publication.
IIM-C informed MBAUniverse.com that Raveendra Chittoor is a FPM student from Strategic Management Group who recently defended his thesis successfully. While still a student of the doctoral program at IIMC, Raveendra published a number of papers in peer-reviewed international journals such as Family Business Review (Blackwell), Journal of International Management (Elsevier Science) and Organization Science (Informs) and conference papers in peer-reviewed international conferences such as Academy of Management Annual Meeting in 2006 and 2007 and Academy of International Business Annual Meeting in 2006 and won a few prestigious awards.
A paper by Raveendra titled "'Third-World Copycats' to 'Emerging Multinationals': Institutional Changes and Organizational Transformation in the Indian Pharmaceutical Industry" has been accepted for publication by Organization Science.
Says IIM-C, "Raveendra is the first ever doctoral student from India to get an acceptance in Organization Science, one of the highest rated journals across all management disciplines. He is perhaps one among the rare breed of management scholars based out of India who had an acceptance in Organization Science."
Raveendra was also adjudged winner of the SAMS/AIB Award for the Best Doctoral Dissertation Proposal at the Academy of International Business Annual Meeting 2006 in Beijing. He was the first ever doctoral candidate from India to win this highly prestigious Award, informs IIM-C. Earlier years the awardees were students from HBS, Wharton, INSEAD, etc.
