(Edit: This is a teaser for the new MBA Live! series on InsideIIM. Afzal Hussain from IIM Calcutta with help from a few academicians in his institute will be taking you through the MBA journey as he sees it)
We already covered Part I of the terrific initiative and the great opportunity that the IIC at IIM Kozhikode is providing its students here. Let's look at the 2nd part where we meet some more Corporate leaders. They explore more themes like Personal Branding and Retail Innovations.
The Industrial Interaction Cell (IIC) at IIM Kozhikode has been helping students interact with some top corporate leaders for over a month. The leaders are from a diverse set of industries ranging from Supply Chain and Logistics to Steel to Quick Service Restaurants to Financial Services. The topics covered by the leaders were also extremely insightful: from managing supply chains to creating a high performing organization to managing oneself.
IIM KOZHIKODE welcomed Mr. Uday Chaturvedi on campus on 11th of July 2012. Mr. Uday Chaturvedi (Former Managing Director – Corus Strip Products, UK and Former Chief Technical Officer - Tata Steel Europe) is one of the most revered names in the global steel industry. The event was organized by Industry Interaction Cell (IIC) of IIMK as part of the celebrated “Leadership Talk Series.”
9:00 am. We were 15 minutes into our Operations Management class. Almost all the seats in the class were (surprisingly) occupied given the absolute indifference of the majority of the class towards operations. I vaguely remembered the slot 3 class of OM-1 when the other OM professor, in his first class, had taken a quick 1 min poll on what field of profession the students preferred. The finance/consulting and marketing bandwagon was enthusiastic in their responses while only a handful had raised their hands for operations with deep reluctance written on their faces. The rest of the class had given them looks mostly reserved for rebels/Naxalites.
