PhD. Program:

IMI’s vision is to promote quality management education, supporting and encouraging research scholars. Research is an integral part of any good academic institution and B-schools can be no exception to this. IMI was granted a status of Approved Research Centre by Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha Unviersity (GGSIU), New Delhi in December 2007. This entitles IMI to guide students pursuing doctoral research in various areas of management.
IMI believes that research is one way to distinguish and develop a niche for itself. The focus at IMI will be an applied research which besides providing new insights and contributes to policy analysis and problem solving, research at IMI will be directed at strengthening teaching and training. IMI recognizes that there is a thin dividing line, if any, between consulting and research. While the out put of consulting is often private and confidential, the emphasis on research is to wider dissemination through publications and adding to the existing knowledge base.
