Finally Term 4 begins. For the first time we have a subject on OB and most of the Engineers feel it is faff and keep displaying their disinterest quite openly. Some of them don't realize the importance of this particular area in Business.
But according to me, this is one of the most important subjects. As we move more and more towards a service economy, managing Human Resources becomes more and more important and a good understanding of OB becomes more and more critical for a good manager.
We have another very complex course - Government, Society and Business, which is a combination of Micro and Macro Economics.
ELP, which appeared to be no-so-attractive at the beginning, has caught the fancy of many students and there is sudden spurt of mails seeking team members.
People have started winning B-school competitions. From the mails that I could locate, ISB teams have won the following competitions:
1. IMI HR and Fin paper presentation,
2. XIMB's Ashwamedh paper presentation
3. SPJMR's case analysis
There are multiple teams planning to participate in the Innovation Challenge. I'm sure we will see many more such winning teams from ISB.
You write well. Please continue blogging the way you have done until now.
ReplyDeleteAs a current student have you heard anything about when ISB is going to start its PhD program.
Also can you tell me the number of current resident faculty (not including Visiting Scholars/Professors) at ISB. From the web-site it looks like this figure stands at 20 now which is the same as last year.
Thanks,
Venkata
Hi Venkata,
ReplyDeleteThanks for your appreciation.
ISB has started a Phd prep program and I am seeing lot of researchers around. I haven't heard anything about the Phd program till now.
Currently there are 26 resident faculty (from what I could count from the intranet). Hope this helps.

It does! Thank you.
ReplyDeleteBTW what is a PhD prep program and how is it different from the PhD program. Is this different from a post Doc program that Universities have.
Hi Venkata,
ReplyDeleteI suggest you mail me your queries that i can forward to concerned people at ISB. They can give you exact details. From what I know the pre-Phd programs prepare the person for a Phd program admission
