Abstract
Based on primary data collected
from 102 firms, located in three
metropolises- Mumbai, Bangalore
and Hyderabad- and heterogeneous
in economic activities,
size and year of existence, the
authors explore the phenomenon
of skill shortage among Management
Graduates who are employed
in managerial occupation.
They describe determinants
of skill shortages in these firms.
They elucidate that job vacancies
that are hard to fill subsume
in vacancies having skill shortage
that is the subset of general
pool of vacancies. The paper
shows that a vacancy falling
within skill shortage category is
sensitive to the nature of vacancy,
wage, year of existence
and location.
