Abstract
Even a cursory look at the management research output would suggest that the majority of the management research in India takes place with the microlevel atomistic constructs developed in the Western context and used without examining their meaning in Indian society and without studying the correlated constructs in the Indian text or Indian languages. In this write-up, I propose and explain that the Indian perspective on management is important to be studied because it can make at least five contributions to the field of management, which can have local and global value. These are in terms of providing perspective, practices, concepts, models and studying management in the context of hybridity and uniqueness of the institutions.
