The Student Collaborated Research program at FIIB supports student research, scholarship, and creative activities during the academic year. Research collaboration is understood to include in-depth faculty-mentored scholarly projects in any management discipline. We conduct Guided Independent Study  (GIS) for final-year students.  GIS is a self-directed course for majors and non-majors in a specialization domain who wish to investigate a specific topic or creative project in the specialization. The student can explore the topics in the different strands of literature in Marketing, Finance and Accounting, Human Resource Management, Operations Management, International Business, or Strategic Management. The GIS’s objective is to further develop the student’s ability to carry out and contribute to business research. Through his/her study and orally, the student should demonstrate an ability to plan, conduct, and present a scientific investigation of relevance to the subject of Business Administration and the student’s chosen Master’s program. Further, the aim is to develop skills for critical examination of the research problem and reports and to provide the student with the opportunity for a deeper theoretical study within a chosen area.

The FIIB research grant competition is a shark-tank style competition embodying the entrepreneurial spirit of invention, experiment and problem-solving. Inspired by its mission, FIIB endeavours to provide a perfect platform by awarding funds amounting to INR 2.25 Lakh. The aim of the funding is to encourage researchers to explore ideas that give a deeper understanding of the usability of the research contributions by either solving real-world problems or providing actionable insights. The competition aims to bridge the academia-practice gap by encouraging research ideas with societal relevance and impact.

Doing a PhD is not a linear process. Academic stress, lack of supervisory support, financial insecurities, and uncertainty over the future are common factors that put Ph.D. aspirants in a dilemma. Therefore, it is important to spend some time searching for answers to this dilemma and build a network of people who can equally empathise and understand the PhD journey. In light of these considerations, Fortune Institute of International Business (FIIB) conducts Research Clinic & Doctoral Consortium (RCDC) every year. It aims to extend support to scholars by providing them with an opportunity to discuss their ongoing research and receive constructive feedback, interact with experienced researchers with similar research interests, and discuss career plans with senior academic members and researchers.
