ABSTRACT

Students at a shimmering new business school use sophisticated computers with high-speed connections to the Internet. Some of their classes are taught by professors from the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School, Northwestern University’s Kellogg School, and the London School of Business. In order to be admitted, the students must take the GMAT, the same test required of students at most business schools in the United States. But the young M.B.A. students are not sitting in Boston, Houston, or Detroit: they are at the Indian School of Business on the outskirts of the southern Indian city of Hyderabad.
