Corporate Interaction

Corporate Interaction Series

Corporate Interaction Series (CIS) is a set of activities for providing the students with the flavor of the real life organizational dynamics and familiarizing them with the issues of concern of the business world by inviting eminent industry experts as guest lectures.

CIS through its activities endeavors to provide a platform for the future managers and corporate heads to deliberate, debate and discuss the relevant and contemporary aspects of business and effectively synthesizes the academic knowledge of the former with the latter’s practical wisdom.

Quality of Management Education: Opportunities and Challenges

While there has been an increasing demand for management professionals in the present era of global change and competitiveness, there has been dearth of professionals who can foresee and utilise the enormous possibilities before they become obvious. In the contemporary society of globalisation and liberalisation there is a need for developing managers with qualities and competencies in global perspective. To achieve the goal, quality of education is the only resort which is accepted universally. So, it is an immediate requirement to shape the management education in accordance with the global changes to improve for the creation of quality intellectual infrastructure in India.

Mentoring Future Managers

Every organisation recruits new professionals from time to time. The organisational growth is, ideally, interdependent on professional growth of individuals. It has been challenging yet inevitable process of orienting the newcomer to take responsibility and learn the organisational philosophy and culture to grow with. Each organisation has developed direct or indirect methods of induction for the new recruits. In many organisations there is a systematic orientation or induction program. Some organisations have a conscious plan of mentoring. It is not a new concept, but in the past it has been practiced at a more informal level. In recent times, it has become more professional and has been institutionalised.

The mentoring process seeks to:

Speed up the process of developing managerial talent
Assist in long-term career development
Set up informal channels of communication
Improve people performance
Offer emotional support
Ensure the spread of critical skills

The mentoring process benefits not only the company / organisation, but also the mentor and the mentoree, both professionally and personally. Through mentoring, the knowledge and skills get distributed within the organisation, leading to their increased application in day-to-day business. The mentoree benefits by getting access to specialised knowledge and skills, and develops confidence. Recognition brings is a sense of satisfaction; it increases the potential to move higher up the corporate ladder, in an accelerated manner.
