Business Schools Turnaround Strategy and Execution

A recent survey discloses 93% of graduating management students from Indian business schools are unemployable. The three main processes of a business school—admissions, academics, and placements—form a system, each influencing the quality of the other. Our research on developing a game-changing turn-around strategy for a business school is published in a reputed international journal. It has equipped us with deep insights on turning around business schools. We employ the effective principles of systems science to evolve and execute a turnaround strategy for business schools, improving the quality of admissions, academics, and placement of students.

Our uniqueness lies in the following:

• Deep ethnographic insights on the causes for poor to mediocre performance of business schools.
• Application of system science, principles of strategic management, and organizational behavior for evolving a customized transformational strategy.
• A rich and unique convergence of impactful corporate experience at senior levels (we know what the corporate requires of business schools and students and keep ourselves updated on it), insights on best practices of business schools, scholarship in strategic management and organization behavior, and research publications in high impacting journals. In addition, we have a PASSION for the HIGHER EDUCATION SECTOR that combines to position us uniquely to make high-impact contributions to business schools.
• Action research published in the prestigious journal Systemic Practice and Action Research on evolving a transformational strategy for a business school.
