This fun-filled festival promises something for everyone, with a wide gamut of events ranging from business simulation games, business plan contests and live case studies to adventure sports, fashion shows, quizzes and parties. Starting with participation in thousands in the recently launched online events, nearly 300 participants from business schools all over India shall come down to IIMK to participate in the festival. Business simulation games will give students an opportunity to apply their classroom concepts to real world situations in the areas of markting, finance, operations and consulting. At the same time, they can let their hair down by participating in informal competitions and on-the-spot management games that shall judge their presence of mind much more than knowledge of management jargon. Quizzing enthusiasts have a lot to look forward to, with Arul Mani, of the Karnataka Quiz Association, conducting a business quiz and a general quiz. There will also be a series of online quizzes before and during the event. There is a dizzying array of prizes to be won, ranging from cellphones and airline tickets to attractive cash prizes. A conference tited "Sari in the Boardroom" will also be a part of the festival. This novel event is a conference to present the achievements of women in the corporate world and address the issues, concerns and constraints that are being encountered by them. Top-level women managers will share their experiences and views with the participants. Contributed by - |
