DSE MBA IB 2014-16 Induction Experience
“With the beginning of a new chapter at DSE, my journey of self-improvement continues. Getting good news on the very first day about the conversion from MIB to MBA-IB was overwhelming. Being here brings some familiar feelings which tell me that it is going to be a remarkable and memorable part of my journey. Thanks to those ice-breaking sessions, I have met a lot of people and enjoyed doing tasks with them. It’s been only two weeks and I have made very good friends here. I am happy to find that everybody has got a unique quality. Lot of things to learn and an opportunity ground to work. Going through the hectic schedule of classes, induction and selection processes of various committees and cells was filled with mixed emotions of excitement and jitters. But hats off to seniors for their support and helping us to kick start our journey at DSE.

7 Deadly Sins of Branding
Pioneered by companies such as Heinz and Quaker Oats, the process of branding emerged as a way to enhance consumer perception of mass-produced goods. Brands added a human element to the product – people could put their trust in the brand itself. Today, brands have transformed the process of marketing into one of perception building. Image is everything. Consumers make purchase decisions based on the brand rather than the reality of the product. Perfectly good products can fail as a result of bad branding. While this means brands can become more valuable than their physical assets, it also means they can lose this value overnight. Perception is an ephemeral concept. Failing brands usually commit one or more of the mistakes that have come to be known as the 7 deadly sins of branding.
