Scholarly Research with Practice Orientation
The combination of ‘rigorous methodology and practice orientation’ aimed at producing world-class academic scholars is the key differentiating feature of our programme. Being at the forefront of management education for over 35 years has enabled SPJIMR to have close relationships with a wide network of researchers and practitioners.
Every year, SPJIMR conducts its much-awaited annual event SBAC (SPJIMR’s Business Academia Conclave), where eminent academicians, researchers and leading industry practitioners discuss and share views about pertinent issues. Scholars are encouraged to use such events to broaden their understanding of management research and its impact on the society.
