Behavioural implications of an Indian MBA

Abstract

MBA is a highly esteemed and recognized postgraduate degree program in India, primarily due to its potential to enhance career prospects. The expectations from an MBA student are markedly different from those of students of other courses, which may require significant adjustments in their approach to meet the demands of the course. This shift may lead to certain behavioural implications that are unique to MBA education in India. Therefore, this research report aims to investigate students’ expectations before joining the course, their adaptation to the requirements, and the final transition in their behaviour. Using the theory of reasoned action, we seek to understand the societal norms and attitudes that drive changes in behaviour. Specifically, changes in attitudes toward career-related factors and skill-related factors are studied. We seek to identify and understand the factors contributing to these changes.
