In a short span of nine years, the Great Lakes Institute of Management, Chennai
has succeeded in carving a niche for itself among the top tier management

revolutionary design in management education through an innovative one year

experience equipped to take the fullest advantage of the exceptionally rigorous
and demanding nature of the customized curriculum. With its collaborative
arrangements with Business Schools across the globe, a supporting pool of
visiting and adjunct faculty from top International B-Schools such as Kellogg,

are ready to take on the challenges of the corporate world, both in India and
abroad.
Our signature enterprise, the Karma Yoga project aims at Great Lakers helping
local NGOs and the underprivileged to give them a fighting chance at the future
besides inculcating in our students, who will be future managers and leaders, a
sense of social responsibility and the “art of giving” back to the greater society
which has brought them to Great Lakes.
Like the old days at the great port of Mamallapuram, where great Indian
explorers set out on voyages of discovery and adventure, Great Lakes offers
you an unparalleled experience of 365 days of learning that enriches you for
life, and an enduring bond of friendship and camaraderie with the best
B-School graduates in the country who are also ready to set out on their

* Core Electives 6
In this attempt by Great Lakers to transform people belonging to nearby
villages, the key focus has been in the fields of education, health,
agriculture, and small business. Over the past years, Great Lakers have
been involved in organizing health camps, financial inclusion programs,
agricultural training programs, activity-based learning programs, etc., in
association with leading hospitals and several NGOs. Karma Yoga project
runs throughout the year and has been quietly transforming the lives of
the people around the Institute's campus.
All knowledge gained in this project is in the form of real life challenges and
situations faced and this helps the students to understand and apply
leadership qualities at appropriate junctures in organisations. Mere
graduation makes them managers; LEP makes them different from the
other managers. Karma Yoga is far beyond social service. It creates an
ability to carve the best out of any person. Seldom does one find a ground to
practice and hone one's qualities of Influence, Power and Leadership.
Karma Yoga provides Great Lakers with that platform. Unlike other social
service activities, Karma Yoga does not give fish to the needy; instead it
teaches them how to fish. Karma Yoga is all about creating an environment
of constant interaction, influencing, motivating others towards the
betterment of their lives.
LEADERSHIP EXPERIENTIAL PROGRAM - KARMA YOGA
Trying to learn leadership in a classroom is like trying to learn swimming
in a classroom. Just as a swimming pool is required to learn swimming, a
live setting with actual potential followers is needed to learn leadership.
KARMA YOGA, a Leadership Experiential Program (LEP) is an integral part
of the Post Graduate Program in Management (PGPM) and Post Graduate
Diploma in Management (PGDM) at Great Lakes.
The project, guided by Dr. Venkat R. Krishnan (Director, Yale-Great Lakes
Center for Management Research), is a unique medium for students to
connect with ground realities and experientially learn transformational
leadership. The LEP creates a mutual win-win situation for both the
students and the villages. While the villages get budding managers to
enable the villagers to lift themselves into their better selves, the students
acquire a first-hand understanding of what it means to create followers
and transform them.
There are 20 villages surrounding the institute's campus that have been
adopted by Great Lakes for the LEP. Students visit these Karma Yoga
villages every week. The mission is to enhance the self-esteem and self-
efficacy of the villagers (i.e., to empower them), so that they are able to
lead a better quality life. Karma Yoga is a real life practical lab to learn and
experience the power of transformational leadership.

BUSINESS IS FOR REAL - THE EMPIRICAL STUDY
Empirical study is an excellent means to demonstrate Great Lakes' firm
belief that the best way for students to advance their knowledge is to
question conventions and established frameworks.
The empirical study requirement achieves the Institute's mission of
creating business-ready managers by enabling every student to do a real
life study under the guidance of the best people from the industry and
academics. Doing joint work with the faculty is an important form of
learning for the students. The most practical benefit of writing an empirical
article is that one learns how to actually persuade and convince others – by
culling out relevant information, gathering and analyzing data, and
presenting the output to support one's stand.
The empirical study is counted as six credits of student input. The expected
outcome of the empirical study is a paper co-authored by the student with
the faculty / industry guide.
Some of the empirical study papers that were presented in international
conferences include :
“The impact of pay satisfaction and transformational leadership on
employee engagement” [by Devyani Sharma]. 5th International
Conference of Management and Behavioural Sciences, Haridwar, India,
June 2012
“Transformational Leadership and Leader’s Belief in the Law of Karma:
Moderating Role of Leader’s Optimism” by Nidhi Chadha at the Sixth
annual international conference of Yale- Great Lakes Center for
Management Research, Chennai , India, December 2011.
Some of the highly rated Empirical Studies of 2011- 2012 include:
Ÿ Gunjan Raja - Relationship between Leader-Member Exchange Quality and Organizational Commitment: Role of Organizational Justice.
Ÿ Debasmita Dey , Gajendran A M& Hariharan G - Impact of Culture on Consumer Search Behaviour.
Ÿ Preshit Mendhekar, Sriram Varahan & Poonam Chavan - Impact of Agile Methodologies on Project Management.
