In his inaugural speech the US President, Donald Trump made an ‘America First’ pledge where he promised that people would ‘Buy American-Hire American.’ True to his word he has set the wheels in motion for this to happen immediately on his election. The H-1B Reforms Bill is a significant step in this process.
Talk Geeky to Me. The day isn't far when people will start using this as a pick-up line. And why not? Geeks are going to inherit the earth. Do you want to know how?
Symbiosis Institute of Business Management (SIBM) Bengaluru hosted its 8th Annual Management Day on 1st March, 2017. The Management Day is organised to celebrate the achievements of the students of graduating batch and award them. The occasion was graced by the presence of chief guest Mr. Pankaj Dubey, Country Head & MD, Polaris India Pvt. Ltd. and by the guest of honour Mr. Amit Kasliwal, India Head - Corporate Sales at Ford India. With the 8th graduating batch, the total alumni count crossed the 1300 mark.
‘They, just like words, can sometimes say a lot’
The students of planet-I take the responsibility of becoming top-notch managers very seriously and so start incorporating the management concepts learnt at every possible opportunity. So much so dedicated they are that not a day passes by without people taking crucial decisions aimed at achieving maximum utilisation. An insight into the typical schedule of a planet-I inhabitant would clearly elucidate this observation.
A typical day at fieldwork encompasses several phases, right from getting up early, boarding a local train, rustling through the crowd, getting to meet employees on a typical ‘Monday’, hearing about ‘last Sunday’s party’, getting fresh assignments to work upon and of course food, which definitely forms a major part of the day. Food at breakfast, food during lunch, snacks at tea time and any other interval time that one can think of. And at my fieldwork organisation, the food quotient is grand. I am a typical connoisseur of food and food for me is definitely a highly motivating factor (if at all I find a nexus with Herzberg’s motivation theory). And I was pleasantly surprised to find the variety of food that too at a subsidised cost. Every cafeteria is a spacious hall which has a capacity to accommodate more than two hundred people. The thing that struck me along with this observation is that there is a place near the plates, which boldly mentions: “Strictly Vegetarian”. Being a vegetarian myself, I initially wasn’t much bothered by the diktat, however, after having a discussion on the dining table, I came across a lot of thoughts and judgments. “Can an employer control the eating habits of its employees?”. “Is it a part of the policy?”. “Does this violate the human rights quotient and more importantly the liberty of individuals”.
MBA in finance. What value does it add to an MBA aspirant? I'll try to answer the question for three kinds of people.
