Nurturing Institutional Excellence: Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad
Conceptualized by visionaries like Vikram Sarabhai, Kasturbhai Lalbhai and Ravi J. Matthai,
and nurtured by its various Directors, faculty members, staff members, Boards of Governors and
other stakeholders, the Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad (IIMA) is today regarded as
an institution of excellence. As the institute enters the fiftieth year of its existence, individuals
who have been closely connected with it over the last two decades, examine what has made
IIMA stand out as a mission-driven institution. They describe the institutional processes, the
values, the culture of self-regulation and high accountability to oneself, the leadership, and the
dynamics of working in decentralized teams, which have underpinned the making of this
institution. Their accounts reinforce the message that good institutions focus their attention on
internal processes and systems through their culture and values, and provide space and energy to
people so that they can focus on the purpose and mission.
This book offers all those interested in developing institutions insights into institution building
processes and an idea of the thinking that goes on behind the scenes in a premier management
school.
