Marketing Management

My experience at taking Classes on Management

From the time I started teaching Management subjects online, I have realized some very important facts. We all believe in self-control, empowerment and the power to control others. But, little do we realize the sequence in which these should follow one another.
As I introduced the basics of Organization Behavior and Human Resource Management to budding professionals, students and teachers; I saw how enthusiastic they got when they tasted the power to control others. They were given ample chance to exchange their thoughts openly and share their work experience with the rest of the students. The best part was that the attendees felt really empowered when they were asked to frame the Biographical Traits of Joe, the main character of the case study.
Interestingly, once the students got that power, they found it difficult to control their will to counter and challenge what the other participants recommended. It took a while for the students to realize that despite the continuous suggestions and intermittent replies in the chat box, they all were speaking the same thing. This highlighted the need to reinforce self-control. Does that mean that empowerment and self-control go hand-in-hand?

I am keenly looking forward to conducting the Marketing Session on Jan, 16. The good part is that the participants need not be an MBA or a Manager to understand the basics of Management.

Skipping Questions in CAT

Why do we skip questions?

1. We don't know how to crack the question
2. You didn't see the question

Why do we choose a WRONG option in CAT?

With the threat of Negative Marking looming large on our head, we are very careful while marking answers in CAT. Still, we get some questions answered wrongly. Why?

Here are a few Reasons for marking wrong answers:
1. Students know the concept, but in a hurry they mark the wrong answer.
2. The calculation part took more than 90 seconds and still the student is not sure of two options, marks a fluke and gets the answer wrong
3. The student is working at an extremely high speed and the accuracy falls dramatically
4. The student does not know 5 questions in a row and marks randomly in the next question
5. The student's basic concepts of Grammar, Vocabulary, Formula's are not clear

Reasons abound, think of more and put them as Comments to this post
