MICA Research:
Leading Innovation and Global Thought Leadership

Research is a significant part of the mission of management institutions, in addition to their education and training mandate. Research is also a very substantial component of global institutional rankings. Any educational institution that hopes to have any impact must focus on research. Rankings play a critical role in institutes of higher education as it helps them leverage their collaborations with industry and other academic institutes, besides attracting the best talent from across the world and boosting their brand image and identity. Quality research within any institution often acts as a benchmark or criterion, which aids future scholars in identifying the faculty and institution as their possible destination to pursue their career as a researcher.Β

Explore MICA’s Research Publications.

MICA places a lot of premium on research and encourages its faculty with support and resources to publish in high-quality ABDC, ABS, and FT50-ranked international journals. Though MICA is a relatively small institution in terms of its in-house faculty strength, its faculty-publication ratio is in the Top 5 among the 26 foremost management institutions in India, which speaks volumes about the quality and quantity of research output and a matter of great honour and prestige for a young institute such as MICA. International immersions and faculty development programmes are also offered so that MICA’s faculty can develop their network, hone their research skills, and contribute to global thought leadership, research, and publications.

More than 50% of research papers published by MICA faculty and scholars are in the A and A* listing, while almost all the papers published are of Q1 and Q2 ratings. Apart from journal papers, MICA faculty members also co-author and co-edit books with internationally renowned academics and researchers, which are published by globally reputed publishers. They further contribute to the research arena through case studies and book chapters. To top this, MICA’s research acumen is well and truly highlighted by the presence of MICA’s faculty members, as editors for some of the most highly rated international journals by invitation.
