Abstract
Scholars have highlighted the significance
of a diverse group on
i ndivi dual ’s pe rformance and
have argued in favor of diversity
within a group, institution or organization.
However, the impact
of diversity within one’s networks
has not bee n ex pl ored. Eve n
within a diverse group, a student
might approach someone coming
from similar background. The
present study attempted to explore,
in the context of Indian
management education, how does
diversity within one’s networks
impacts student’s academic performance.
For the study, 107 students
from one of the toptier and
oldest institutes of management in
India were selected. Their network,
and diversity within their
networks was mapped and calculated.
The findings hinted that
diversity within networks might
not always result in a positive
outcome.
