MBA: What's your strategy?
Hi Folks!
humble apologies for being out of action lately. The 2nd teaching block came to an end today.. we do have some course work and a major Econ exam pending yet.. but most of the coursework is done. This block has been amazing!! The econ and the finance courses have been simply out of this world!
Strategic Management (the third course i had) didn't really excite me primarily because the cases were not the latest ones (All previous courses had cases from the events unfolding at that time).. but the Personal Strategic Action Plan (PSAP) that we had to develop as part of the strategy assignment was really insightful. In the PSAP we had to apply the various strategic frameworks and look inwards.. analysing ourselves on parameters like abilities , experience, ambition.. etc.. and identify what we want to do in life.. both in the long term and short term..
We then had to identify the company that best helps fulfil this ambition and make a case for a position that is mutually fulfilling. So there was a detailed introspection .. an industry analysis.. and a case for ur dream job...
In effect, this exercise helped me think clearly about where i should be heading post-MBA. (unlike what most people portray in the MBA applications.. a majority of us are not really very clear about which road to take!)
So very very insightful!
There have also been numerous company presentations and corporate events.. more about that in a later post!
cheers!
