The objective of this research is to gauge the levels of incorporation of CR in the curricula of Management Institutions. The intent is to prepare the ground for grooming young management graduates for engagement in the CR agenda by promoting CR principles and practice in business pedagogy.
Before proceeding to the presentation of the perception and the implementation indicators of CR, the institutional profile of the survey sample has been provided through questions on the focus of the institution, student enrolment, ranking and perceptions on ranking.
Any attempt at understanding the profile of an educational institution has to necessarily begin with its disciplinary orientation. The table given below depicts an academic focus distribution of the Management Institutions surveyed.
