R ecently in newspapers and media you see lot of articles are flown in the media that MBA are hired less .Only 10% of MBA graduates are hired to the corporate sector.What’s the reason behind this .It has been mentioned that because of more no of MBA colleges .Lot of MBA colleges  have come up in all over India.That’s the prime reason mentioned in the article .To an extent I do not agree with this article .The reason is there is lot of engineering colleges all over India but the demand for engineering graduates has not increased or decreased .There is stability of demand in corporate sector for engineering students. The main reason or root cause is not because of more no of colleges .Firstly,MBA course curriculum has to change .MBA means  presentations, attention to detail,analysis friendly and specially one should have common sense.MBA as name says it talks about business and the fact is business cannot be taught it has to experienced  so MBA acts as a enabler i...

Maruti a household name in India.Maruti symbolizes people car in India.From layman to business tycoon everybody recognizes Maruti.Even though Indian government has no stake in the automobile still Suzuki motor corporation has kept the name because of strong brand recall and mindshare that maruti possess .Automobile sector is one of business which depends on  lot of parameters to be successful .I  believe that one of key parameters is volume or variety.Volume is how much cars that automobile is able to manufacture.While variety refers to the different kind of vehicles that a brand can offer.Automobile sector is more of volume driven business.But Maruti Suzuki thought else wise and followed variety than volume. Let us focus on some of the models that it has launched.You have entry level cars such as Maruti 800,Esteem and Alto while hatchback car segment Ritz,A-Star,Swift,Wagon R and Sedans like Ertiga,Dzire,SX4. Multipurpose vehicles like EECO,Omni et c.Not to for...

Each organization is considered to be unique.Uniqueness of any organization is in respect to the DNA of the particular company.Uniqueness of particular organization can be in terms of its  innovation,way of working and various other parameters.Regardless to say that unless a organization does not innovate it will not grow in marketplace.Now consider why Microsoft and Google did not loose in the competition in marketplace.Google did not loose like Netscape.

When we compare Google’s android which primarily followed Iterative or incremental model in which product(Android ) was build.Google identified set of requirements and they prioritized requirements and found out the most important an...

Software development has seen lot of changes in respect to how is developed.Previously,the project managers & project leads used to follow waterfall,v,incremental or iterative.But these models never made developers more accountable.Infact PM(Project Manager) was the only point of communication with customer/client.Agile software development emphasizes developers to not only be  responsible but also makes them more accountable.So what is different from agile methodology from traditional RDCT(Requirements,Design,Coding & Testing) .I want to describe readers about Agile methodology Q1.What does Agile mean?

Ans:-Absolutely not everyone believes that agile means no documentation .We have to do documentation but the content and length of document is reduced not the document is not omitted. Q3.Which projects shoul...

Hero is one of the world’s biggest 2 wheeler manufacturer.Its sales has touched nearly 46lakh in 2009-10 fiscal year.Now I always wondered what has contributed to the success of 2 wheeler.There may be numerous factors that contribute to the success .It may be first mover advantage that it had.It was able to connect with indian consumers and was a motorcycle was synonymous to Hero Honda.Models like Splendor,Passion was a blockbuster which contributed to the growth of company.Secondly,the technology back up that it had with Honda working with technology and tailoring or producing customized motorcycles for the Indian market.Thirdly,the most important and strong factor which I believe is the efficient and strong distribution network whether it be in terms of dealers,spare parts,authorized distributors.
