Inter-organisational mobility of management graduates of selected institutions in India

Abstract

This paper provides the findings on inter-organizational mobility of management graduates (MGs) of selected institutions in India. The findings are based on 668 returns of mailed questionnaires that were sent to the alumni of six institutions, including the three national ones (Indian Institute of Management at Ahmedabad, Bangalore, and Calcutta) who graduated during the years 1966 to 1977. Mobility has been defined on six dimensions: i) the number of organisations worked in the first year, ii) the number of organisations worked in the first three years, iii) the number of organisations worked in the first five years, iv) the minimum duration in an organization, v) the maximum duration in an organization, and vi) the average duration in an organization
