0.5 MBA

Its the end of trimester 2, meaning am halfway through. Another 8 months to the finish line.
This was the longest trimester, with the christmas break in between. The first half was frentic-paced and the second half was pretty relaxed.

T3 promises to be more balanced. Am taking some heavy-duty courses this trimester.

1.Global Business Management in Manufacturing: The fomer chief of Nissan, America; BMW, Japan is taking this course. The course deals with Japanese manufacturing expertise with a special focus on the Japanese automotive industry.

2. Life Sciences - A business perspective: This course deals with businesses relating to the biotech and pharma industry.

3. Corporate Business Strategy: This course focuses on the application of strategy theory and principles. "Think like a CEO" is what the prof mentions.

4. Statistics & Research Methods: The objective is to build the design and analysis skills necessary to carry out applied business research.

5. Competitive Strategy: This course examines how firms build sustainable competitive advantage.

6. Strategy Implementation: All about the issues encountered when implementing strategies.

Pretty interesting stuff.
