The IIM-A Book series will be written by the faculty of the institute, for the general reader using a clear, accessible style and putting things in an Indian context.

The venture will be the first time a major educational institute is creating its own publishing programme in India.

“The series is to disseminate knowledge to executives in a manner that brings them up to date knowledge to executives in a manner that brings them upto date in different fields of management,” said Samir KBarua, director IIM-A.

The first four titles of the series — Strategies for Growth by Atanu Ghosh, The Persuasive Manager by M M Monippally, Business and Intellectual Property by Anurag K Agarwal and Managers Who Make a Difference by T V Rao —will be launched later this week.

“It is not a boring class room note book. It is a compilation of various thoughts, case studies, and references. It will definitely help if people will follow,
