End of the break
Today is the last day of the break after the winter term. From tomorrow spring term would be starting off. At MBS,Winter term is considered as the most tiring and tough term for many reasons. Though we had mounting pressures from acads and internship-search,we do had parties and other events..!
Class 2008 president,muditha(see the pic in earlier post) was chosen in a democratic fashion. Even we had few mishaps in conducting elections,one of us tried to hijack the elections to prove a valid point that no election process is ideal. It was the first time MBA class has initiated election process by involving every student in the class. Last year,election of the president was more sort of voluntary process and was administration-driven process.
PMO classes,taught by Richard Phillips and Laszlo Czaban has been most interesting course.We had the opportunity to understand various management concept and organisational strategies.But the learning process was very rigourous demanding high levels of reading i.e., about 55 cases collected from various industries and markets. And in the spring term,we have an extension to this course MIBS(Managing internationally across business systems).
In the internship search process, we had our own share of crests and troughs. Past suggests that most of the studnets will get placed in the spring term. Along with these, we had team projects in every course(MIS,Ops. Mgmt,Strategy). In the strategy, apart from the text book and standard taught in every school,Gary davies taught us about "Corporate Reputation",concept which is gaining momentum due to recent changes in industries particularly in terms of CSR,Carbon emissions etc.,
MBA Ball Party
Right at the end of course work and before revision week we had Latin Party,conducted by friends from southamerican friends. MBA Ball,an event which is almost a farewell event to the 2007 class and the time where Pete Naude was awarded teaching excellence award.
