This paper reports one set of contributions from an exploratory study of management education institutions in India to ground the Institution Building (IB) theory. It develops empirically a general processual model of institution building using five concepts: context; capability development, innovative thrust, and penetration (performance); and process mechanisms. The paper outlines the various process mechanisms affecting institutional development. Implications for planned change at macrosystem (social change) and microsystem (organizational change) levels are highlighted.
