Being a premier management education institute it is imperative for IIM Calcutta to create opportunities for young women and men to develop themselves into top quality researchers and faculty in management and related fields. The Fellow Programme seeks to offer such an opportunity. The field of management is undergoing rapid changes. There is hardly another discipline that has to cope with such changes. So, research is at the heart of intellectual activities at IIM Calcutta. It helps us to create and update our intellectual capital. At IIM Calcutta, we facilitate collaborative research. To sustain all our endeavours in a fundamental way, we stress the creation and generation of indigenous knowledge through cutting edge research. We create new knowledge with a practical orientation by encouraging inter-academic group research with an eclectic approach to the choice of research methods. Researchers using quantitative methods, case based research, ethnography and other field-based methods find IIM Calcutta an equally comfortable home. We also encourage strong linkage with practice in industry and other sectors of the economy to generate contextually relevant knowledge. IIM Calcutta is committed to educating scholars with outstanding intellectual capabilities to enable them to develop strong analytical foundation and ability to apply management concepts, frameworks, tools and techniques to real life problems of industry and other sectors of the economy. We at IIM Calcutta are very proud of the alumni of our doctoral programme. Many of them are currently working with top management institutes in the country as well as in universities abroad. Some are working in well known firms in positions that require advanced management education and a few are leading research units in the private sector. Over the years the Fellow Programme has dynamically evolved to its present status as one of the top doctoral programmes in management in India. We have been continuously striving to strengthen the programme to promote high quality management research in India. I welcome you to read this booklet to know more about the IIM Calcuttas Doctoral Programme. Saibal Chattopadhyay Director, IIM Calcutta & Professor of Operations Management 01 FELLOW PROGRAMME in Management BRIEF OVERVIEW The doctoral (or fellow) programme at IIM Calcutta aims to produce high quality scholarship. As a leading institute of management research in the country, we put considerable emphasis on training our doctoral students to produce good quality research. In the context of the recent economic, ecological, and social challenges, there is a pressing need to comprehend the problems faced by business and non-business organisations. Our doctoral programme has an important role to play in this process of understanding. Over the last fifty years, scholars at IIM Calcutta have attended to diverse managerial, socio-cultural, economic, and policy problems through their academic writings. We have historically played a role in shaping management thought and practice in the country. These efforts get reflected in the rich body of academic work produced by the Institute. Many of these writings have been published in internationally renowned journals and in widely acclaimed books. IIM Calcutta also has several research centres in which we conduct specialised and interdisciplinary research. These aspects have helped our doctoral programme to be widely respected within and outside the country. We strongly encourage our prospective doctoral students to develop familiarity with this rich tradition and to understand the specific nature of work happening in their areas of interest. IIM Calcutta has produced a body of scholarly work that has societal significance. We encourage our students to draw upon scholarship, located both within and outside the management field, and to investigate the complex and multifaceted intersections between social, political, economic and institutional dimensions, and management problems. We like to see new insights emerge which influence the generation and application of management knowledge in a socially relevant manner. We have doctoral students with prior degrees in management, economics, engineering, mathematics, sociology, anthropology, and psychology, among other disciplines. Given the eclectic nature of the field, we strongly encourage students from different disciplinary backgrounds to apply for the programme. This diversity allows students to approach management problems from different theoretical vantage points and to find new ways of understanding them. It additionally helps students with different academic backgrounds to have multi-disciplinary dialogues that further assist their learning processes. 02 FELLOW PROGRAMME in Management AREAS OF SPECIALISATION IN THE FELLOW PROGRAMME Behavioural Sciences The research interests of the faculty members include the micro level psychological aspects of individual and group behaviour in organisations and the macro level organisational behaviour between and within organisations and society.

When I was looking for a doctoral programme in strategy in India - I must confess - my first choice was IIMA, as I had done my PGP from there. As luck would have it, they stopped their strategy Fellow Programme for a few years and I came to IIMC. This turned out to be one of those life changing events in my life. In retrospect, I feel I got so much from my doctoral experience at IIMC, which I sincerely believe I would not have got from any other school national or international. As a part of building the foundations of the strategy Fellow Programme at IIMC, the group went out of the way to provide inputs by inviting scholars from around the world. In particular, my young advisor Prof. Sougata Ray (younger than me!) stressed the importance of publishing in top tier journals early in the programme and supported it by creating international partnerships. I am not exaggerating when I say that the strategy Fellow Programme and FPs from IIMC are comparable to the best in Asia. Hari Sreekumar Faculty, IIM Tiruchirappalli I spent one of the most enriching periods of my life as a doctoral student at IIM Calcutta. The FPM at IIMC offers an excellent combination of high quality theoretical inputs and sound methodological training. Most importantly, the programme altered my perspectives on key issues, and provided me with the ability to think critically, and question extant knowledge and understanding. I would attribute substantial credit for this to IIM Calcuttas excellent faculty, and especially to my thesis supervisor Prof. Rohit Varman. Prof. Varman and his fellow academicians at IIMC symbolise what makes this institution so special a vibrant academic atmosphere, deep understanding of research, and encouragement of multiple ways of exploring, learning and knowing. Becoming a good academic is a long process that takes time and immense effort. For those wishing to embark on this journey, IIMC would be a great place to start! Raghunathan V CEO, GMR Varalakshmi Foundation/author and columnist/ Ex. President ING Vysya Bank, Professor, IIM Ahmedabad (on leave)/Adjunct Professor, Bocconi University, Milan, Italy and Schulich School of Business, York University, Toronto IIMC was my first exposure to a serious institution of higher learning, and some of the outstanding teachers I encountered made a deep impression not only as teachers but also as human beings Professors SK Chakraborty, Shyamal Ghosh, and NK Rao, to name a few. IIMC gave me some wonderful friends, including Prof. Ramu Aiyer, who remained my well-wisher and mentor for as long as he lived. The verdant green of Joka, late nights spent rowing in the lake, sitting on the tractor tyre in front of the hostels; and all those gallons of chais and the singharas and rossogollas downed at Mihir Das at the front gate are some of my favourite memories! And yes, nothing can detract from the fact that whatever career I was able to build for myself was built upon the foundations laid at IIMC. 20 FELLOW PROGRAMME in Management Diptesh Ghosh Faculty, IIM Ahmedabad My decision to join the Fellow Programme at IIMC was, in retrospect, one of the best decisions I ever took. Apart from the rigour that the programme instilled in me, I look back fondly at the interactions that I had with my advisor and several other members of the faculty. They treated me as a junior colleague, and this went a long way in making me confident in what I did, although I was just starting out in academia. Even now, fifteen years later, when neither my advisor nor I are still at IIMC, we remain the best of friends. Manjari Singh Faculty, IIM Ahmedabad Intense and Inspirational culture Insightful academics Vigorous Research Methodology Life-changing Crossroad Friends for life Distinguished Professors Meaning and direction to my career .....and my very special thanks to my thesis advisor. Apalak Khatua Faculty, XLRI Jamshedpur The distinct feature of IIM Calcutta FPM is its collegial academic environment and access to diverse intellectual resources for pursuing interdisciplinary research and faculty members, particularly from Behavioural Science Group, encourage this right from the beginning. Rigorous doctoral course-work ranges from behavioural aspects of organizations to interdependence between organizations and markets. Beyond regular classroom sessions and research seminars, I have also learned enormously from mingling and bouncing ideas with other fellow colleagues and faculty members during my doctoral day. 21 FELLOW PROGRAMME in Management Prithwiraj Nath Faculty, Norwich Business School, University of East Anglia, UK IIMC teaches you to be competitive and ensures that you build the necessary drive to achieve it. The quantitative focus of IIMC improves not only your research skills but also your overall decision making prowess. The Fellow Programme is benefited by the contributions of the excellent teachers and researchers that IIMC has. They inculcate a sense of pride in your being an IIMC Fellow. My doctoral supervisor provided me not only the necessary academic support but the whole gamut of pastoral care needed at every stage of building a successful academic career. I remain eternally grateful to him. Shubhashis Sengupta Senior Manager and Head of Research, Accenture Technology Lab, Bangalore What I learnt from my Fellowship at IIM Calcutta To be extremely focused and diligent. Time management and deadline orientation. Knack of detailed problem understanding and assimilation (acquired during research phase) that can be applied to many industry R&D projects Proximity to and learning from some of the sharpest minds (Professors, other FP students, PGP students etc.) Networking (that really helps a lot to grow professionally) 22 FELLOW PROGRAMME in Management SELECTED FACULTY PUBLICATIONS Behavioural Sciences Subodh Tiwari, Shirley Telles, Abhishek Goel, Anita Verma, Beliefs of Yoga Practitioners about Yoga as a Science: A Survey in Mumbai, Yoga Mîmâmsâ 46 no.1 (2014): 1519.
