Term 1 is gonna end on june 10th, with the exception of MacroEconomics exam. The subjects

The 2nd term subject "Startegic Management" has already been started. Its being taught by Dr. Abdul Rasheed from Univ of Texas Arlington.

More abt him at http://management.uta.edu/Dr.Rasheed/Home.htm

His first lecture was about "Strategic Intent" by Gary Hamel & C.K.Prahalad. Its all about how startegic intent makes the companies to strech their targets and set goal as to become a
gloabal leader.

One of the examples the authors discussed were abt "Canon vs Xerox" and "Kumatsu Vs Caterpillar".Also the article discusses about the war startegy (Sun-tzu, a chineese military strategist). Strategic Management is one of the subjects where my thoughts get provocked. It talks about war strategy, Game theory sort of things..(Age of Empires is a good strategic related game). Need to do alot of readings about these concepts.

We just had a class on "Competitive Advantage/ Michael Porter". It illustrates beautifully how
a company faces the competition and what kind of threats and barriers would be der for a
company to survive in the market. Its a good stuff to be read.People are all busy in preparing for the Term 1 exams (MacroEco & Stats)this weekend.

Next week we will be considerably free as we just have 1 class per day. Few are desperately looking ahead to visit their homes this weekend. I have decided to stick around and do some reading ...Chalo...OK ..got the FA class now..ciaoo..
