One day, we were discussing the politics at the workplace and then she said that the next day we would discuss a case on it, but we don’t have to read the case. Everyone got confused as to how are we supposed to have a discussion without reading a case. Then she said that we are going to watch a movie in the auditorium and that movie was a good example of politics in the workplace. Now imagine if our teacher in school had told us that no studies for tomorrow and we would go for a movie. Wouldn’t that had been amazing!
This is how learning takes place at B-schools. The movie was based on an investment bank’s downfall and the financial crises of 2008. We had to then work in groups to identify the instances of organizational politics in the movie and submit a report. She then surprised us by giving a certificate of appreciation to the best group.
B-schools tries their best to keep their academic curriculum to align with the industry trends, and this gives the students a totally different experience, and it’s fun as well.
Which ABG company would I want to work for and why?
I would like to join the “Aditya Birla Fashion and Retail Ltd” as it brings some of the biggest fashion icons under the same umbrella. It has a vast network in the apparel industry across the entire nation catering to various segments and becoming a global leader. India is a big market for fashion apparels because of its young population and rising income. Thus, it has a huge potential for growth and can provide a promising career for B-school graduates like us. The fashion industry is a very challenging one as it requires collaboration on each stage from supplier to the customer and thus it will be a good platform for me to learn the dynamics of the industry and to apply my learnings.
