By way of better achieving the institute’s mission of creating business ready managers, an empirical study requirement has been introduced as part of our PGPM starting May 2007.
All coordination with respect to this empirical study will be handled by the Yale-Great Lakes Center for Management Research (referred to as Yale Center henceforth).
This empirical study may be an individual project or a group project of two or three students jointly (provided the faculty guide agrees for a group empirical study). It will span the entire year and will count as six credits (equivalent to two 3-credit courses), and will require not less than 160 hours of input per student.
The expected outcome of the empirical study is a paper coauthored by the students with their faculty guides, to be submitted to a refereed journal or conference.
