Abstract Topics for MBA GD
Most top B-schools use abstract prompts in GDs to test clarity, creativity, and teamwork under time pressure, and we see the difference they make in shortlists. We write today as the TopicSuggestions team, academic researchers who study GD transcripts and outcomes, and we know that cues like “Zero,” “The Colour of Money,” or “When Noise Wins” reveal how you frame ideas and build structure. We aim to give you a practical, student-first toolkit: we will share a quick approach playbook, present a curated set of abstract topics grouped by theme with one-line angles and opening lines, highlight common traps and evaluator expectations, and close with a rapid checklist you can use the night before your GD. We keep it conversational, example-heavy, and focused on what helps you speak with confidence.
