| dc.description.abstract | Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad (IIMA) is one of the oldest institutes of management and
generally accepted as one of the leading business schools in India. Established in 1961, IIMA is frequented
by the industry, local and global, to recruit its future leaders. An inherently academic institution of excellence,
IIMA has unfortunately not been known for traditional research output in the form of papers in journals, as
is the case with many international research institutions. It is in this context that the present study aims to
review the research performance of IIMA based on the papers published in journals that have been indexed
in Web of Science and Scopus for the past twelve years. The authors attempt to identify the trends in research
output over the period 1999 to 2010 that includes types of publications, most preferred journals, most prolific
authors from IIMA, authorship pattern, and the journals most cited by the researchers from IIMA. The findings
throw interesting facts like increase in number of papers being published by IIMA over the years 1999 to 2010,
increase in collaborations among authors, decrease in single author publications and multi disciplinary nature
of research undertaken at the Institute. | |
