Academic Writing

Writing is an integral part of the process of research. It also facilitates success in academics. It is not enough to be smart and knowledgeable; we have to demonstrate our knowledge and insights through writing whether we are students or scholars.Otherwise we would be like wild flowers—perhaps the most beautiful on earth with exquisite scent, but unseen, unsmelt and unsung.

Academic Writing is aimed at MBA students, MPhil and PhD scholars, and young faculty in management and behavioural sciences. The nudge for writing this book came from our graduate and doctoral students in the field of management and participants in faculty development programmes—their research papers and other written assignments, to be precise. Some of these students are among the best in the country, perhaps in the world. But their writing often lets them down.
