DIRECTOR’S CONCLAVE

GBS in association with KIMS oragnised the Director’s conclave on 19-11-12 at GBS inviting the Directors of all the affiliate MBA institute and their select faculty members for presentation on simulation as a pedagogical tool by Mr Rajiv Jayaraman CEO of Knolskape Bangalore. In his presentation Mr Rajiv Jayaraman informed that 3 billion hours of games are played per week all over the world

and about 10,000 hours of repetitive practice is undergone by present day kids. Owing to this the attention span has been coming down in class with respect to listening. Citing that 91%kis play digital games hence games are acting as bridging the gap. This is therefore an era of edutainment enabling the learning anywhere, anytime and anything. Simulation has become effective learning tool because it is learning by doing. The hands on learning makes the managers ready for the job in a better way and simulation provides this hands-on learning enabling the B-schools to close the gap of managers being not future ready. He gave a demo of various simulation products to the audience and explained the application part.( workshop)

GBS- a nostalgia

Mr. Bidyanand Jha Faculty-Marketing [2010-2011 Global Business School ]

Introduction of the author

No man who worships education has got the best out of education... Without a gentle

contempt for education no man's education is complete.

I am glad to write something about the Institute who gave me a great exposure for growing

in my career. There were lots of lessons for me during the association with GBS. I Joined

GBS in February 2010 and was there till May 2011.

We all had a dream to make this institution a world class preferred destination for learners

in the management education. We all worked very hard to make it happen. I am sure today

it is one of the best choices of learners in management education.

I was more interested in development of the students on an overall front, which I always

use to do with the help of GBS leadership. I still remember the first national conference

Bidyanand Jha (B.Sc (Maths), M.Sc (Maths) ,MBA(Marketing) ,PGDBM(Retail Management))

Assistant Professor (Kirloskar Institute of Advanced Management Studies)

Certified trainer and Consultant with CII and Exim Bank for EFQM Business Excellence

Model.

Owner of Clickurmind.com & anmolmoney.in ( Training, Consultancy & Financial Planning

firms)

Resource person for apeirosindia.in in the field of training and consultancy.

done at GBS. The event name “Acumen” was advised by one of my colleague “Mr.Kiran

Ambekar”. The Designing was supported by “Sumeet”. It was a wonderful event and

experience. There are so many sweet memories with some bitter experience which made

my learning recipe a perfect one during the stay at GBS.

One thing which I always appreciate is the dedication of faculties of GBS towards adding

value for the students. Non teaching staffs are the backbone of the Institute and they are

holding the institute in many facets of the operation.

I miss my friend “Kalmesh” who always use to support me in getting tea from the canteen

which uses to keep me energized during working hour. I miss the company of my

colleagues where lot of discussion related to paper writing and organizational development

use to happen.

I left GBS in May 2011 because of certain unavoidable circumstances. I joined Kirloskar

Institute of Advanced Management Studies for my career enhancement and I am proud to

inform you all that I am doing very well in all fronts. I have published 10 international

papers in refereed journals and recent one is for university of Colombo. I am visiting

University of Colombo on 13th December for presenting my paper in the international

forum. Also feel happy to inform about my two entrepreneurial ventures clickurmind.com

and anmolmoney.in

Life needs to move on and hence I carry this nostalgia. I love to experience the nostalgia

sometime with my GBS Family.

My best wishes to GBS for further growth.

FLOWER RANGOLI COMPETITION-ON 10TH

NOVEMBER 2012

Ladies Association committee took the initiative to organize “Flower

Rangoli Competition” on 10th Nov 2012 at GBS premises, through the

Event Titled: Vyanjan – Manoranjan under Ladies Association for both the First and second

year students of GBS.

Background

Rangoli is originated from two words Rang which means colors and Holi which means

celebration. So Rangoli is an artistic celebration of colors. To recall our early lessons in

physics that all colors originate from white light. That’s why prayers to light or Sun god is

one of the most important prayers you offer in your daily life in Indian tradition. Sandhya-

vandana (twilight zone prayer) was nothing but to remind that all colors lead to just one

color and that is white color. Similarly beneath all emotions, thoughts, feelings, reactions –

there is deep stillness always available to you. Diwali is one such occasion, preparing

Rangoli spreading happiness and joy, Light is a mystic significance of cosmic stillness

available to you beneath all colors of emotions.

Rangoli traditional Indian art In front of the house is one of the sacred and age old secret

phenomena of Intention. It is really an age old secret never got passed to current

generation. There are many traditions and customs associated with Diwali. Some make it

traditional colors and others make it with flowers with festival of lights just around the

corner. Rangoli is really not a mechanical or ornamental phenomenon. It is science of

creating energy pool. You need to go thru certain ritual of bath, mantras, Intention to create

a Rangoli.

The competition was well executed by the Ladies association team; we had 9- Teams

enrolled from the First year students and 8-team from second year students. It’s an idea of

Book Summary of Aleph

Aleph marks a return to Paulo Coelho's beginnings. In a frank and

surprising personal story, one of the world's most beloved authors

embarks on a remarkable and transformative journey of self- discovery.

Facing a grave crisis of faith, and seeking a path of spiritual renewal

and growth, Paulo decides to start over: to travel, to experiment, to

reconnect with people and the world. On this journey through Europe,

Africa, and Asia, he will again meet Hilal—the woman he loved 500

years before—an encounter that will initiate a mystical voyage through

time and space, through past and present, in search of himself. Aleph is

an encounter with our fears and our sins; a search for love and

forgiveness, and the courage to confront the inevitable challenges of

life.

Book Summary of Breakout Nations: In Pursuit of The Next

Economic Miracles

To identify breakout nations it is key to travel with an eye toward

understanding which economic and political forces are in play at the moment,

and whether they point to growth, and at what speed. In a world reshaped by

slower global growth, we need to start looking at the emerging markets as

individual cases. This book tours the world to examine which nations are

likely to flourish - or disappoint - in the new era of diverging economic

prospects. Along the way I will offer a few plain-English rules of the road for

identifying emerging markets with star potential. My point is to take you with me on my travels

in search of the next breakout nations, and to answer that simple but difficult question, 'Where

will the money go? - from the prologue

About the author

Ruchir Sharma is head of emerging markets at Morgan Stanley, a position which lends him a

truly global perspective and first-hand experience of the world he is describing, as well as

affording him unique access to top CEOs, key finance ministers and heads of state. He is an

occasional television commentator, on CNBC and in India, and a regular columnist for

Newsweek, the Wall Street Journal and the Economic Times of India.

The Power Of Now: A Guide To Spiritual Enlightenment is a book

that teaches its readers how to find a path that leads one to find inner

peace and tranquility.

The Power of Now: A Guide To Spiritual Enlightenment by Eckhart

Tolle takes readers on a journey of self-discovery, a spiritual journey

that has no religious affiliations. The book uses ancient wisdom and

insights to show people how they can achieve a sense of peace and

well-being by learning to recognize who they really are.

For this, the author first distinguishes between the Manifested and the

Unmanifested. The Manifested beings include all the varied life forms that experience the cycle

of birth and death. The author, Eckhart Tolle, then speaks of one supreme entity, the

Unmanifested, which he terms as ‘The Being’.

Tolle says that a person’s mind does not really define the person, although people assume that

they are the result of years of social and cultural conditioning, and their minds’ perceptions. He

says there is a deeper presence in every individual that voices out one’s thoughts. He also talks

about how a person’s ego holds him back from connecting with the universe, creating an illusion

of separation. He stresses on the importance of letting go of all the confusion and chaos created

by the mind and identifying the inner presence, which will help one achieve ‘the joy of being’.

The book invites people to live in the present (‘the now’, as it is termed), without fighting against

the ultimate reality of what exists, in order to achieve tranquility and peace of mind. This

positive state can help people avoid rash decisions and put things in perspective before taking a

call.

The book’s deep insights into unlocking the human consciousness by surrendering to the ‘Now’

can help readers find a deeper meaning to life, in addition to giving them new ways in which

they can handle problems.

OUTLIERS

In this stunning new book, Malcolm Gladwell takes us on an

intellectual journey through the world of "outliers"--the best and

the brightest, the most famous and the most successful. He asks

the question: what makes high-achievers different? His answer is

that we pay too much attention to what successful people are

like, and too little attention to where they are from: that is, their

culture, their family, their generation, and the idiosyncratic

experiences of their upbringing. Along the way he explains the

secrets of software billionaires, what it takes to be a great soccer

player, why Asians are good at math, and what made the Beatles

the greatest rock band.

Brilliant and entertaining, OUTLIERS is a landmark work that will simultaneously delight and

illuminate.

Book Summary of Timeless Leadership: 18 Leadership

Sutras from The Bhagavad Gita

The timeless leadership wisdom of the Bhagavad Gita explained

Although it was written well over two thousand years ago, the

Bhagavad Gita ("Song of God"), a revered Hindu religious text,

contains an immense wealth of ageless wisdom that speaks directly to

the needs of today's business leaders. Timeless Leadership takes this

unlikely resource and teases out important lessons on 18 aspects of

leadership, from commercial vision to motivation, decision-making,

and planning.

Looking in detail at what the Gita has to say about these and other

issues of interest to business professionals, Timeless Leadership focuses on one central point:

that once the basic thought process of man is improved, the quality of his actions will improve as

well, leading to better results.

Uses an ancient religious text to highlight and explain key Western management concepts

Explores the leadership ideas in the Bhagavad Gita and helps managers and leaders apply

them to modern business life

Weaves together the threads of wisdom from the Gita to shed light on issues and

challenges for leaders at all levels

Covering teachings and ideas that have only got better with time, Timeless Leadership adapts the

wisdom of millennia past for today's business leaders.
