Size of the space doesn’t matter always but what really matters is how warm & comforting does space make you feel. And SDA Bocconi Asia Center in spite of being a one-floor campus, always ensures it makes you feel at home. Also, it’s not even about the space, it about the people in that space who create a vibe you want to stay connected to.
“Mom! It’s just 1 month! How will my peers be? My roommate? My seniors? Professors? “A plethora of thoughts just crossed my mind and my mother was a foam to my anxiousness. My session was to start on 3rd July and all my world revolved around my MBA.
It is rightly said that ‘Individually we are one drop, but together we are an ocean”. Every person comes from a different background and has different skill sets and strengths. On Day One, it is not enough to know your batch mates just by names and general introduction. Team Activity gives us an opportunity to have deeper and better insights into our teammate. Once we start working in a team, we do understand each other’s strengths, weaknesses, and interests.
The jittery feeling, the apprehensions and the butterflies in the stomach were all present, but so was the excitement to start off a new journey! This was going to be the first ever time I was about to stay in a hostel, in almost 25 years of my existence. My parents were more paranoid about my stay at the hostel as opposed to my performance in college. The preparations kicked off about 2 months ago with my father collecting the essentials, to my mother making extensive lists.
Engineers have a problem understanding commerce subjects.” Such was my thinking before joining SDA Bocconi Asia Center as a part of IMB7. The first class that we had to take was a pre-course in Accounting which was just 12 hours long. Ms. Laura Zoni (SDA Bocconi, Milan) had flown in to teach the same.
‘The most coveted committee in any B-School’, ‘the best learning experience’, ‘the self-less job’, ‘the most active committee’. By now most of you must have guessed the committee that I want to be a part of! Yes, it is none other than the prestigious ‘Placement Committee’. The committee with maximum responsibility, and yet equal benefits to reap from!
It had just been a day since we had joined SDA Bocconi Asia Center. We were all looking forward to the case methodology class that was supposed to be taken by our Dean, Professor David Bardolet. All of us were really excited as it was the first time that we were being exposed to this method of solving case studies. Most of the consulting aspirants like me dream of getting into strategy consulting firms like Mckinsey, BCG and Bain and this class was a step in that direction and gave us a great exposure to that.
“Bocconi”- the brand itself speaks why a management candidate would like to be associated with it. Yes, Bocconi University (Università di Bocconi) is an internationally oriented institution in business, economic & law in Milan, Italy. The SDA Bocconi was the first school in Italy to be accredited by EQUIS and one of the B schools in the world to hold the “triple crown” accreditations. It is also the first Italian business school to have the only offshore campus at Mumbai, India as SDA Bocconi Asia Center (formerly known as MISB Bocconi). And this has successfully made possible for the Indian management aspirants to have an internationally acclaimed masters being at the Indian soil which is unique of its kind.
