...The global Business world is rapidly evolving. The way business is done today will be obsolete tomorrow, and; therefore, there is a need to constantly re-educate oneself. In this global competitive landscape, an MBA provides a distinct precedence over those without it. It not only teaches the latest in management thinking and practice but also prepares us to remain flexible in the mist of evolving management trends. Born to an army officer father and an educationist mother, my childhood consisted of multiple hues. Growing up in a changing environment, my parents taught me the importance of hard work, integrity and discipline. Frequent changes in location also meant meeting new people. This upbringing endowed me with the ability to adjust to my ever changing environment, allowing me to analyze the world and make informed decisions and to retain the best from every experience Since my childhood, science and technology has always enamored me. The flight of an airplane, the building of supercomputers, the wonder of internet, etc., aroused in me a curiosity to know how it all worked. Having advanced analytical abilities, it was only natural for me to take Engineering Science as a major in high school. After high-school, I enrolled at the prestigious Army Institute of Technology (AIT), to pursue a Bachelor’s Degree in Engineering, in Information Technology. The four years spent in AIT have been some of the best of my life. Each day unraveled a unique scientific phenomenon and...

...Report on the case “Henry Tam and the MGI team” In partial fulfilment of WAC course Submitted by: Nishant Prateek Minz Executive Summary Henry Tam, an MBA candidate at Harvard Business School, is facing the problem of bringing together his team on common grounds regarding MGI’s submission for the annual HBS business plan competition which could provide him with good credentials and the company with the jumpstart it needs. The members of the team had approached Henry with their business plan and wanted to enter into the contest which could provide them with venture capitalist funding and expert advice for its future. The assembled team has a lot of disagreements and no clear hierarchical structure which has often resulted in clashes between individual ideas and no definite plan for presentation. With the deadline looming near, Henry was faced with the challenge of putting together a coherent business plan in time. It is recommended that the team mutually appoint a neutral third person experienced in business plan development to take the final decision regarding the B-plan formulation.

... Austin, TX 78705 August 31st, 2014 Dear Recruiting Manager, I am very interested in the Software Data Analyst position at GE. Currently, I am a graduate student at Mccombs School of Business majoring in business analytics. I believe my previous experience in consulting and leadership roles have prepared me well for this position. Prior to attending Mccombs, I acquired a diverse set of analytical and client interaction skills working across multiple industries in an entrepreneurial environment in Mu Sigma. I thrived in the innovative and collaborative culture which focused more on learning than knowing. As a business analyst, I developed datamarts for retail and financial companies, synthesizing data based on complex business rules. For a pharmaceutical client, I developed a potential-workload balance algorithm to optimize the sales force alignment, increasing profitability by 30%. Working with data, I have sharpened my quantitative and analytical skills, with the ability to take loosely defined business questions and translating them into clear, actionable insights. Demonstrating competence to quickly learn complex businesses and provide quality work under tight deadlines has earned me multiple recognitions at the workplace. During my tenure at ZS Associates, I developed the core competencies needed to succeed in a rigorous, team oriented environment. I worked closely with senior management assisting executives...

...Sugar Bowl Memo Shelby Givens is a graduate from business school who returned to Raleigh, North Carolina with an ambition to transform Westlake Lanes into a successful business renamed to Sugar Bowl. Before the transformation Givens saw a downward spiral for Westlake Lanes barely earning any profits and the ability to sustain a healthy business was dwindling. Givens in March of 2010 was able to persuade the board of Westlake to allow her transform the bowling alley in hopes of changing the business into a success. After evaluating the cost of this major overhaul that was estimated to be $600,000 Givens faced three phases. Phase I, preparing for the transformation presented challenges for Givens which were employee procurement, research & development, and food costs. Phase II, renovation and grand opening. Givens challenges involved the contractor being behind schedule, missed deadlines, staff shortage. Also due to operations being delayed Givens calculated every week there was a delay, they lost $30,000 in revenue. Phase III offered unpredictability and an emotional rollercoaster of ups and downs with customers as well as revenue and employees quitting. Which of the actions executed by Givens were most successful in resolving the challenges presented by each phase? Which were least successful? If I had to choose one action that was successful, it would have to be how Givens handled the marketing for the opening of Sugar Bowl. A big component of marketing is determining...

...A A A (resize font) (CNN) - For foreign executives, doing business for the first time in India can be a bewildering experience. There's the new -- different business customs, bureaucracy and the dizzying scale of the population -- but also the familiar. "You'll likely be dealing with people who speak the Queen's English, and who graduated from top Western universities," said Jitendra Singh, a management professor at the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School. "You can get lulled into a false sense of security -- "but for people dressing a little different and talking a little different, they are just like me,'" he said. "That's a completely false premise. There are all kinds of nuances in the culture, implicit cultural norms that we don't know about until we run afoul of them." As the world's second most populous nation, with more than one billion people, India is projected to become one of its biggest economies. It is tipped by PricewaterhouseCoopers to nearly draw level with the United States by 2050. "For companies with any kind of global interest, the writing is on the wall that they need to have a strategy for India," said Singh. Read more: Doing business in China But Singh said that for Western companies rushing to enter the Indian marketplace, it needs to be recognized that the country is a very different proposition -- both in terms of business practices and consumer preferences -- and must be treated accordingly.

Chitrini Chalmela 2015091 5. Debasija Chakraborty 2015092 Faculty: Prof. Subodh Tagare Decision Mapping Process 1. Why MBA? Answer: 1. Higher Salary A fresher would prefer doing MBA because being a graduate he may earn very less and if he starts his career after doing MBA he would have a wider knowledge and a better pay-package. So by doing MBA he may get a better job opportunity, better salary and can have a better start to a career than a normal graduate student. A work-ex person would do MBA so as to climb up a corporate ladder and enhance more skills which would help him in better understanding the problem and find best solutions for it. He would do MBA so that he can earn even more than what he is earning at the current level. So a Huge difference in terms of earnings can be clearly seen over a period of time. 2. Greater Opportunities to work in a desired location Everyone after certain point of time hits the wall and waits for a better opportunity with more responsibilities and different duties. With a current degree, the person may be restricted to work for a particular job. But a MBA program enriches a person and creates lot of opportunities which accomplishes a person’s desire to work for a certain company at certain desired location. 3. Grows Networking ...

...Writing an Argument Earl Dante Arguelles MGT/521 Jun 18, 2012 Jeffrey D. Gordon Writing an Argument It is finally upon me, immersing myself into one of the biggest decision I have ever done in my life. Taking the Master’s of Business Administration course. I have been contemplating about this particular endeavor for some time now. I was constantly looking and browsing at the online course catalog for more than six months since I transferred from Yokota to Yokosuka. Alas, I was able to take that first big step towards achieving one of my Terminal Values in life – “A Sense of Accomplishment” (Robbins & Judge, 2011). One of the main factors that helped me move forward and work towards trying to attain this indispensable degree was my relentless pursuit for career advancement in the field of business management. Taking into considerations todays’ global economic situation, one has to constantly find ways to get ahead of the pack and continuously adapt to the ever-changing ways of dealing with different types of business scenarios. Although life and work experience plays a big role in trying to run a small business entity, there is no real substitute for the traditional ways of learning the ins and outs of managing one but through the time proven class courses we normally learn from higher education. Interaction with a diverse group of people coupled with the chance to work overseas and experience first hand the excitement and challenges of dealing with different...

...My MBA Program and what I have learned Thomas Domino University of Phoenix LAW/531: Business Law June 27, 2012 Michael Tancredi Good evening, my name is Thomas Domino AKA Tommy Tucker. I have been involved in businesses all my life. I’m an Artist. I started when I lived in Fairlawn N.J. with a paper route when I was 12 years old and continued after my family moved the next year to a small town in upstate N.Y. called Washingtonville. My dad being a Cost Engineer for Kellogg heating and coolant equipment designs, and with a large family, he always encouraged all of my 5 brothers and 2 sisters to help with family chores; that included outside projects. One of our family businesses was hand decorated felt family character images glued to ceramic plates. My mother and father would approach friends and acquaintances from our neighborhood and the church as customers. The plate business grew so fast, I had to use my Artistic talents to help my mother design and produce the plates. Years later my mother was still making decorative plates for her “mad money” to spend in Atlantic City, N.J. at the casinos. During my teenage years, I painted signs for local businesses, and also had a lawn mowing business. So I learned the art of dealing with customers, delivering a product or providing a service for the exchange for money values. I also trapped animals, and sold the pelts to middleman fur dealers around Christmas time; used the money...
