Be the coolest guy in the MBA Forum - Be a threadmaster!

I emailed them last night for assistance w/ the admit website but haven't received a response. Posted from my mobile device

people waiting for admissions package in India.. it has been dispatched and should reach you by this weekend.. hope we will have some good news in that..

guys.. is everyone facing issues while logging into the IU webportal??

Got dinged again. Ha ha ha. My GMAT+Applications journey comes to an end. Off to ISB it is!

Has anyone started a Facebook or Whatsapp group for admitted students?

yes, PM me your number for joining the Whatsapp group.

Tough luck bro. ISB is a great school in itself All the best.

It depends on the goals as well. In my opinion a 1 year course is just too short to experiment. Job hunt starts within 3 months of joining. A 2 year course provides ample opportunities to network and understand where you really want to go. Having said that, ISB still is a great brand in India.

Fed-Ex believes global companies have a responsibility to help the communities in which they operate. This can be achieved in many ways, such as hiring local companies instead of national corporations for janitorial services. It is also important to give minority companies a chance. For example, Fed-Ex contracted a veteran owned cleaning company to maintain their offices and stores in one of its core cities instead of going with the cheapest bid for the job. Don’t just make changes for the sake of making changes. Many managers transition into companies and make quick changes to prove they’re doing something. Spence came in with a strategy. She used analytics to figure out how to make changes that would have a lasting impact on the company’s bottom line, such as streamlining the way Fed-Ex pays vendors, making it easier to track company spends. She’s also making sure that if Fed-Ex has a contract with suppliers, employees use those suppliers because of the negotiated rates. Be prepared. You should know what’s most important to keeping your company functioning and make sure that you are protected against it breaking down. For example, there was a fire at the refinery where FedEx gets their airplane fuel. Yes, FedEx had reserve tanks, but it wasn’t enough. As a result, FedEx was one day away from having to ground their planes. Spence put together contingencies to make sure Fed-Ex has enough fuel to operate for weeks in case something like this ever happens again.
