Abstract
Based on his two empirical studies
of MBA students, one carried out
in 1973-74 and the other in 2007-
08, the author has tried to answer
the question as to what makes a
manager. The findings show that
entry into a management institute
is loaded in favour of the urban
rich and against the rural poor. The
reasons for this inequity lie in the
type of schooling, medium of instruction,
education of parents, and
father’s occupation, on the one
hand, and admission procedures,
on the other. The policy implications
of these findings are
discussed in terms of the role of
academicians as well as academic
administration.
