HYDERABAD: After entering the books of police, Ramalinga Raju makes it to the curriculum of the Indian School of Business (ISB).
The Satyam founder, once a member of the B-school’s governing council, will be a case study for its students from the next academic year.
Speaking on sidelines of the second Asian Invitational Conference on Family Business, ISB Academic Programmes Associate Dean K Ramachandran said, ‘‘We will be studying the case of Ramalinga Raju focussing on what really went wrong for the IT czar, but we will confine ourselves to a strictly academic work.’’ The Thomas Schmidheiny Chair Professor of Family Business and Wealth Management said the institute was collecting gobbets of data required for the case study and that a rough draft would be framed within three months.
‘The case study will not only focus on what went wrong in Satyam and allied group of companies run by Raju’s sons and relatives but will also be studied from the point of view of family business,’’ Ramachandran said.
He felt the Satyam group of companies offered a unique insight as it was a corporate and a family-run business at the same time.
