BANGALORE: It's not all profit and growth for these IIM-B students. They are studying the development vs environment battle, with the Kudremukh issue being turned into a case study.
'Kudremukh Iron Ore Company Limited: The Death Knell and Beyond', an elaborate case study on the conflict about mining in the eco-sensitive zone of the Western Ghats, and consequent closure by the Supreme Court to stop mining, has drawn the interest of managers and business experts on how well such conflicts can be handled.
"This case study was taken up because it is one case where the mining mafia has been taught a lesson by the Supreme Court. It's a very interesting case and students need to be sensitized to it. The Bellary brothers in Karnataka or Posco in Orissa are much bigger cases. The issue is that the system of management is increasing the inequality between haves and have-nots. People started asserting their rights and management students have to understand these issues. I hope the future generation of managers will be much more sensitive," adjunct faculty at IIM-B, marketing and corporate entrepreneurship expert DVR Seshadri told TOI.
