Is location a disadvantage for B-schools?

N.R. Parasuraman, director of Shri Dharmasthala Manjunatheshwara Institute for Management Development, says, "I think it is not a disadvantage in having the institute in Mysore, which is one of the fastest growing cities and has all the facilities that Bangalore offers except the airport. We have not ever felt that we had a disadvantage by setting up the institute in Mysore."
