Ethics, CSR Lessons
for Budding Managers |
| |
|
The Orissa government has
stressed on the need for management students adopting
future Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) activities
and business ethics on their path to becoming successful
entrepreneurs.Speaking at the 11th Convocation of Institute of
Management and Information Science (IMIS), state revenue
minister Manmohan Samal said, “Future management
students will have to learn in particular how to be
successful in their stand and then start trade to
contribute to the well being of the society”. |
| |
|
Samal’s stress on management students adopting more of
CSR activity comes in the wake of big corporates, like
Tatas, Posco, Jindals and Vendanta, who have lined up to
invest in the state, going in for such moves. |
| |
|
The Orissa government has also formulated a
rehabilitation and resettlement (R&R) policy to
facilitate the industrial houses in their future
endeavors. |
| |
| R&R, of late, has become the key point in CSR activities
carried out by the industrial units. |
| |
| Said he, “Business ethics coupled with CSR activity
should be the call for future management students.” |
| |
|
Samal gave away the award for professional excellence to
IMIS Alumnus Akhilesh Gupta, from the batch of 1996-98,
for his contributions to the corporate world. |
| |
|
Convocation speaker, B Samal, former chairman, Allahbad
Bank, and member of task force, Ministry of Heavy
Industries, advised the graduating students that they
should take care of the environment which, in turn, will
help the country to grow and prosper. |
| |
|
He also urged the management graduates to think of
contributing towards the agriculture sector.
P. D. Thomas, former director XLRI and director of XITE
in Jamshedpur, deliberated on the spirit of
entrepreneurship. |
|
He also placed his thrust on the social responsibility
that needs to be carried out by the students in future. |
| |
|
In his welcome address H. K. Patnaik, director general,
IMIS, enlisted the achievements of the institute and its
faculty members in the past one year. In all 120
management students of various disciplines of the batch
2005-07 received diplomas in the areas of Business
Management, Services Management and Finance & Control. |
| |
| Along with the diplomas, the institute conferred special

IMIS ties up
with RAI for Retail Course |
| |
|
Institute
of Management & Information Science (IMIS), Bhubaneswar
has tied up with Retailer Association of India (RAI) to
launch its 1st Post Graduate Programme in Retail
Management (PGPRM). |
| |
|
In the 1st year PGPRM at IMIS would be having 120
students with a course fee of Rs. 2.6 Lakh per annum.
IMIS’s current student strength is around 700. According
to Prof (Dr.) K.C. Padhy, Director, IMIS, the strength
would increase to 840 next year. |
| |
|
PGPRM is 18 months course of full-time teaching
including an internship of six months at an organized
retail outlet anywhere in the world. The course has
theoretical information and practical exposure. Students
from 11 states have joined the course. |
| |
|
According to IMIS authorities, the aim of the programme
is to impart education to suit retail requirements in
the nation and abroad. Keeping in mind the demand for
retail personnel in the coming years, IMIS has launched
this programme. |
| |
|
Estimates and survey suggest that retail in India would
be requiring 2.2. million trained personnel within the
next3-4 years. The Indian retail market would be around
$300 billion by 2010. |
| |
|
Speaking at the launch of IMIS PGPRM Gibson G. Vedamani,
CEO, RAI said, students in this faculty need to develop
conceptualization skills, doggedly work for customer
satisfaction and derive experience from the shop floor
mechanism. Said he, “these are the three bulwarks of
becoming a successful retail manager in future years”. |
| |
|
According to Vedamani, a successful retail manager needs
to put all his thoughts together while analysizing
business around him with a positive sectoral focus and
an all round view. These, to Vedamani are the key to
success in retail management. |
| |
|
Says he,” if one has to climb up the career hierarchy in
retail, he would have to take the risk of attaining
glory, using the opportunities that are being created
with the every day growth in the retail sector”. |
| |
|
N.V.R. Nathani, vice-president, Infrastructure leasing
and financial services (II &FS) pointed out that retail,
currently, was a new learning and a new challenge as
well. Says Nathani, ”one has to imbibe the level of
confidence and also be a good negotiator to stand out as
a quality retail manager. |
| |
|
Speaking on the occasion Upamanyu Bhattacharya, CEO,
Trumart said, retail was the intersection point between
the buyer and seller. According to Upamanyu, “those
joining retail with the intention of earning the
‘glamour’ of the profession is wrong and should stand
apart. It is a different ball game where one has to look
at the customer and know the learning curves of
convergence of different departments from HR to
marketing.” |
| |
|
Upamanyu feels, everything about retail “emanates from
the retail floor”, the real training ground fro the
students, where one learns about the customer’s mind. He
also spoke on the concept of ‘people’s management’-a
vital mainstay of retail. Ashish J.sanyal, CEO, AMP
Retail, Abel Correa, Country Manager-India JDA Software
India Pvt. Ltd. And T. K. Panda, Professor, IIM Indore
also spoke on the occasion. |
| |
|
New Course |
| |
|
Inaugurating the course, Mr. G. Vedamani, CEO, Retailers
Association of India said that the students opting for
the programme should imbible in themselves conceptual
and analytical skills and added that there is an immense
scope for the students to do well in this sector
provided they develop an eye for devil. |
| |
| City
based institute of management & information science
(IMIS) will now teach retail management programme. |
| |
|
Experts See
A Retail Varsity Coming Up
|
| |
|
Is the
country heading towards having its first retail
university? If the boom in the retail sector is any
indication, it might well be a reality soon. |
| |
|
The idea was floated much to the excitement of retail
guru at launch of institute of management & information
science (IMIS)'s PG programme in retail management here
on Wednesday". The idea has just popped up. We have to
study it in detail and think over it, but we are quite
optimistic about the concept," said chief executive of
retail association of India Gibson G. Vedamani while
talking to media persons on the sidelines of the
launching ceremony. |
| |
|
The fact is that the exploding growth of the sector has
created a gauge demand for retail managers which
educational institutes are just waking up to. While
estimate suggests that about 2.2 million people would be
required in the next four years, only a handful of
institutes in the country offer quality programmes in
the retail management today. If such a
university takes shape, it would not only benefit
aspirants but help the sector achieve sustained
growth and innovation.
|
| |
| According to McKinsey & Company and CII, the Indian
retail market holds the potential of becoming a
$300-billion per year market by 2010.The courses
designed by IMIS will prepare students who can match the
industry requirement and take the retail success story
to a new level. Experts like CEO of Trumart Upamanyu
Bhattacharya, CEO of AMP Retail Services Ashish J.
Sanyal, country manager of JDA software India Abel
Correa, vice president of IL & FS N.V.R. Nathan and
Vedamani himself have invested their mind and experience
in devising the course curriculum. |
| |
| Success mantra: The speakers underlined certain
attributes which students must adopt to excel in this
sector. Bhattacharya for instance called upon the
students to devote mote time right on the retail floor
to gauge the taste and aspirations of the consumers".
Devote at least first three years in learning.
Understand your customers and talk to them," he
exhorted. |
| |
| Vedamani laid stress on developing conceptual and
analytical skills". The job calls for lot of time
investment and you have to forget your pleasure and
travel extra mile to be successful," he said. |
| |
| In all, 130 students from 11 states have taken admission
in the first batch. A six-month internship constitutes a
vital element of the programme in which students will
work in leading chains to gain hands-on experience. |
| |
|
Institute chairman Dr. K.K. Beuria, secretary H.K.
Patnaik, Director K.C. Padhy, Coordinator Prof. S. Panda
and others attended the function. |
