Visiting lecturers

With B-schools mushrooming, the challenge of finding good quality faculty has risen several notches. So, one B-school did the next best thing: Get hold of any visitor who walks into the campus who holds an MBA degree and a senior position in a firm. Or so the general manager of a media house learnt the hard way the other day. He went to meet the principal of a B-school, hoping to get the institution to place an advertisement in his publication. Alas, he was not allowed to leave the campus until he gave a few students a one-hour lecture. The term “visiting lecturer” just got a whole new meaning.
