IIM's are the premier institutes in our country & they also sysmbolize the level of managerial intellect of the Indians who pass out from there.Well I dont mean that students at other management institutes dont have management intellect,please dont misinterprete me.We all know that students passing out from IIM's are absorbed by the best companies of the world.They are mostly taught by elite Indian professors.Now the point is that where lies the necessity of the international faculty.Why we need foreigners?Why we are bitten by that vicious sting that when any thing is done by a foreigner then only it has quality?If a foreigner gives positive opinion about a certain Indian then that person is valued by us Indians.Isnt it absurd? C'mon India come out of this vicious habit.Be the first to value & respect your own legendary compatriot.Be Indian in the strict sense.Let it be any sphere always try to ascertain that crucial shots will be called by an Indian.IIM students are in great demand all over the world is the testimony of the fact that their teachers are the best in the world. Mr Mukesh Ambani take your own example,Reliance Industries Limited is an Indian multinational,the best in the world & India is proud of it.So,I feel that now Indians are capable of impressing the world in any sphere & hence as management faculty also Indians are more authoritative than their foreign counterparts.Hence absolutely no need of international faculty at the IIM's.

come again. Indians are no good in technology..Perhaps in IT sector but mechanical and automobile we lack very far behind..all we do is get the technology from Europe and produce it in India.only a very few companies are investing in R&D..we are better in management that technical..probably my perspective as a mechanical engineer..

Ok, a reality check. True that most IIM graduates are absorbed by reputed MNCs, but the profile that is offered by them on IIM campus is junior to the one offered to an equally qualified guy in Ivy League college. Also, if you are aware, there is huge shortage of quality professors at all IIMs. I don't think there is anything wrong in hiring a well qualified foreigner instead of leaving the post vacant or filling it up with an under/unqualified person. Third, there are so many Indian professors teaching at foreigner universities, should those universities also start talking about their nationality and thus hiring only locals?
I think we Indians are too much into this. Either we blindly accept everything foreign as good or we oppose any move towards more global cooperation. There are good and bad everywhere, and I think it makes perfect sense to take up good from wherever you can, specially if it is hard to find it around you.

Exchange of knowledge is always important. Inviting foreign faculty is by no means saying that Indian standards are bad. When it comes to high-level specialization either in tech. or in management, every individual carries a specialization. I'm from IIT and a lot of profs from here are regular visiting faculty to many well known research institutes like Stanford, UCSD etc... Exchange is always beneficial.
