A product of seven years of research, spanning 7 decades, this book has considerable depth. All researchers of MBA education talked about the absolute inadequacy of ‘B’ School education supported by huge data. Most of them proved beyond doubt as to ‘how’ ‘B’ Schools failed in transforming students to be ethically guided leaders and managers. To be fair to them, some of them have proposed some action plans too. But till date nobody has come forward to make a holistic proposal of all possible improvements that can be used to transform a ‘B’ School or to build leadership and managerial qualities in students. This is the first and the only book that is recommending 65 interventions on 6 dimensions to transform a ‘B’ School. The book has proposed 40 different experiences to enable students to practice and learn management. The book will be an ideal guide for all faculty members of ‘B’ Schools who want to develop students in to leaders and managers, promoters ‘B’ Schools, Directors of ‘B’ Schools and all those who are directly or indirectly connected with educating ‘B” school graduates.
