During this global coronavirus pandemic, one area that is severely affected is supply chain management. Ever since the breakout of the virus, the world has suffered a lot due to prevalent centralized supply chain practices. But, things are changing as more and more companies are going digital and looking at the future with optimism. In today's quiz, we bring to you some interesting facts around the entire supply chain and operations network around the world.

Test your operations knowledge by taking the quiz and prove to the world your understanding of operations and supply chain.
In the past few months, from sharing memes on COVID 19 to the time it instilled fear in my heart when I saw empty roads and public places, I think a lot has changed and a lot is going to change soon. Let's be a part of this classic global case study encompassing economics, science, and politics. Here we will take a look at how COVID 19 will affect 2020, 2021, and 2022 batches of MBA. But before that let's identify the sectors that have been worst hit by the pandemic - Automotive, Transportation, FMCG, IT, and Banking. The IT sector is mainly dependent on exports and clients like the US, which themselves are impacted badly. Employees in IT will need to develop skills accordingly and improve collaboration while working from home or else they'll be hit the most. BFSI is indirectly involved in everything as falling demands and reduced cash supply will force people to default or reschedule loans. And we have monetary and fiscal policies at hand, but they are also interdependent on a large number of unknown-unknowns including global supply chains, oil prices, and socio-political environment that may take a concrete shape after the pandemic is over. We also have some sectors which will bloom like pharmaceuticals, Edu-Tech startups, and e-commerce firms (provided they ensure high levels of hygiene).
If you’re an MBA student or aspirant, or even an engineering student for that matter, the last career option you’d consider is sales. Most people don’t choose a sales role, they just get selected for it. Quite a few of them prefer to call it Business Development. But at the end of the day, sales is a function that makes the world work, isn’t it?! In this video, we speak to Amit Agarwal, self-minted Salespreneur, Author of the book “The Ultimate Sales Accelerator,” IIM A & IIT Bhu Alum, and currently Senior VP, Sales and Business Development at Manthan, about his long and rich sales career. If you want to know what attitude it takes to succeed in your chosen profession, Amit’s talk will prove insightful and enriching.
The Coronavirus crisis is an unprecedented and unexpected challenge for the world to grapple with. As companies look to cut losses and manage expenses with the looming threat of recession, many MBA students have had internship offers cancelled and professional platforms like LinkedIn are now inundated with students reaching out to their networks for internship opportunities. Here is a list of some of the companies that have either cancelled or delayed summer internship opportunities for MBA students at the IIMs.
With the COVID-19 induced lockdown and consequent travel bans, many students inclined towards STEM-driven courses in management in the US and Europe are considering abandoning their plans for an MBA abroad. This is driven by the common misconception that STEM-driven management programs are available only in the US and Europe. But going abroad is not your only option! This article will explore STEM MBA courses that are offered in India by top business schools and universities, including the likes of the Indian School of Business, IIM Ahmedabad and XLRI Jamshedpur.
In the current times, with every aspect of life going digital, an online MBA, also known by the names of 'Distance MBA' or 'Correspondence MBA', might seem a lucrative option to many. Moreover, the unfortunate impact of Covid-19, that can be seen on the internships and job offers of students of prominent b-schools, and the delayed admission process, can lead one to believe that online MBA may become an undeniable part of the future of higher education in India. But still, there is a lot of contemplating to do.
