A preview to Term 2
While Term 1 was about important management concepts and useful building blocks, Term 2 is a more application-oriented term, with subjects such as supply chain management, strategy, macroeconomics, business law, financial management, managing IT and people management. The focus on our post-MBA careers is going to increase in this new term. Some serious on-campus interviewing is going to happen in the next 45 days with JnJ, Deloitte and AT Kearney coming on campus.
Meanwhile, Term 1 results are also out. I think the hallmark of successful groups (learning teams) is that the sum of the joint effort of the group is greater than the individual parts themselves. In my case, I have scored much better in the group assessments than in my individual ones. This is true for most of us in our last learning team. This puts a quantitave confirmation of the fact that we were a successful group. Our Term 1 learning team is going to meet some time this month to follow-up on the stock taking sessions that we had last month.
Here are some key developments that have been and will be taking place shortly:
1. Cranfield’s dream run in the AT Kearney Global Prize came to an end with Chicago GSB taking the global crown.
2. The MBA band is gearing up for a fund-raising event shortly. We will now know whether people really liked us & would want to pay to hear us.
3. The week starting 22nd Jan has been marked as International week. The Indian community is thinking of an appropriate way of representing the Indian culture to an international audience. Suggestions welcome !!!
4. We are making choices for our Term 3 and Term 4 electives (themes) now.
5. A two-day Leadership assessment centre workshop based on the 360-degree feedback exercise will be run in the second week of February.
6. And lastly, I am eagerly looking forward to spend my two-week Easter vacation back home in Mumbai.
