IIM Calcutta
Scholars' Research Papers Publish in Top International Journals
In tune with the interest of the
IIM-C community and the Board of Governors in the achievements of its Fellow
Programme students, IIM-C is happy to share some of the scholarly achievements
in very recent time of two of its students: Raveendra Chittoor and
Sumita Ketkar.
Raveendra
Chittoor: An FPM student from
Strategic Management Group who recently defended his thesis successfully. While
still a student of the doctoral program at IIM-C, Raveendra published a number
of papers in peer-reviewed international journals such as Family Business
Review (Blackwell), Journal of International Management (Elsevier
Science) & 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 special mention may be
made of two of Raveendra's accomplishments: -
-
A paper by Raveendra titled
"'Third-World Copycats' to 'Emerging Multinationals': Institutional
Changes & Organizational Transformation in the Indian Pharmaceutical
Industry" has been accepted for publication by Organization Science.
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 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. Earlier years, the awardees were students from HBS,
Wharton, INSEAD, etc.
Sumita
Ketkar: A paper entitled, "HR
Flexibility & Firm Performance: Analysis of a Multi-Level Causal Model" by
Sumita Ketkar (co-author), a Fellow Programme Student of the HR Group, Indian
Institute of Management Calcutta, has been accepted by "The International
Journal of Human Resource Management" (IJHRM) for publication.
IJHRM is ranked internationally
among the top journals covering all the disciplines of business management and
it features in The Financial Times list of top international journals in the
field of management. Ms. Ketkar has successfully defended her thesis recently.
The above article is an extract from her thesis work. Acceptance of her article
for publication by a prestigious international journal like IJHRM bears
testimony to the quality of research done by Ms. Ketkar.
