Post Graduate Specialization in Business Analytics: Key to your goal realization


Big or small, business houses  or Corporate, urban biased or rural oriented business decisions need to be taken consciously and analytically.  Even during primitive stages of business evolution, when technology was not even heard of, our elders used to take business decisions based on parameters of prudence, practice and ‘consultation’. In rural settings, our farmers were never reckless in choosing what to grow, how much to invest, when to change the cropping patters and so on. They had their own way of looking at things ‘critically’ and acting upon it.


The present business world has come of age. From staffing, to planning, to manufacturing to marketing and so on, every manufacturing process and business segment is powered by data and data. From sole proprietary concerns to MNCs, business decisions are handled through tools of analytics. Accordingly, management institutes prepare their students to think, act and decide analytically.  In a globalised scenario, business is conceived, conducted and monitored by way of  data calibration, analysis and interpretation. Nitte School of Management, Bengaluru is one such Institute that is in the forefront offering ‘Business Analytics’ as a specialization under its regular two year PGDM course.

PREP Technique in Communication

As students you often have to face the audience and communicate. But remember, you do not have so much of time as you may wish. Completing a communication task in just a flash is what makes you relevant, efficient and effective. This does not mean that you don’t have to talk at length. There are times when you have to elaborate depending upon the nature of assignment and availability of time. Be prepared for both types of talks - at length and in short.   There are many such instances where you need be crypt, concise and direct. What are these occasions when you have to just come, make a big impact and be gone! As a master of ceremony   While introducing a guest while asking a question in the middle of a talk while participating in a competitive game with time prescription while proposing vote of thanks when a speaker asks you to ‘say something’ while making an announcement   and so on.

Parenting tips during lock-down: Create an environment inside the child’s mind where the joy of discovering the unknown begins ! It’s necessary for you as parents to know the kind of interaction your child prefers while learning at home. You should also know the kind of learner your child is. I was talking to a group of parents regarding how kids motivated themselves to learn at home. I observed that 9 out of 10 parents faced challenges to sustain interest and attention of their kids to learn at home. Most of the parents of LKG kids shared their experiences that their kids were not doing well in dictation writing and they got feedback from the school to practice dictation writing at home regularly. But the problem seems to be that kids are busy with mobile phones or TV at home. They don’t have interests to study at home after coming from school.

The news of sad demise of John Francis ‘Jack’ Welch is like a bolt from the blue to millions of his admirers and followers of his unique management thoughts, ideas and practices.   To have held the steering wheel of General Electric for 20 long years from 1981 to 2001 and delivered breakthrough results is a matter of life time lessons for management students and practitioners alike.   It is no exaggeration to say that Jack Welch will be part of our minds, souls and psyche for all time to come. He wrote great books himself including the best seller ‘Straight from the Guts’. As immortal John Keats once said ‘A thing of beauty is joy for ever’, Jack Welch’s persona and philosophy would continue to enthrall and enthuse us ever after.   As a management teacher and leadership trainer, I was fortunate to come across a beautiful PPT on ‘25 Leadership Lessons’. These 25 lessons are a must for every student under the Sun pursuing    PGDM and MBA courses.   Rig...
