Babson MBA experience: October 2006

http://babsonmba.blogspot.com/2006_10_01_archive.html

Experiences of an MBA student (class of 2008) at Babson. Tuesday, October 31, 2006. Communication stream and exam. Here is our schedule for this week:. Monday - Tech Briefing - Present a technical topic from one of the six streams (Data Analysis, Accounting, Economics, Marketing, Strategy or Law) and present in front of a group of 14 a speech consultant who provides feedback on how you present. Catch: You need to speak to an imaginary audience, assuming assuming the audience to be unaware of the topics.

Babson MBA experience: October 2007

http://babsonmba.blogspot.com/2007_10_01_archive.html

Experiences of an MBA student (class of 2008) at Babson. Wednesday, October 17, 2007. The school's argument is that this requirement was published a while back but somehow many of us did not catch it. Further, this course offered last year had very poor students' feedback making my batch mates even more apprehensive. Updated on Oct 27th]. Is it just to organize pub nights and social gatherings? Or is it for networking? Or just to improve their resume? It is very discomforting to see supposedly matured bu...

Babson MBA experience: November 2007

http://babsonmba.blogspot.com/2007_11_01_archive.html

Experiences of an MBA student (class of 2008) at Babson. Tuesday, November 20, 2007. I just read a case/article for tomorrow's marketing class. It is about the story of radio. Actual HBS case title is "The introduction of FM radio". The story starts with Marconi and gives an account of De Forest. Builds on the contribution of Howard Armstrong and business acumen of David Sanroff. I am looking forward to our class discussion tomorrow. I had mentioned in my prior post. Links to this post.

Experiences of an MBA student (class of 2008) at Babson. Tuesday, January 23, 2007. Operations and organizational structure. We have eight streams covering various aspects of operations in this module. It is a mixed bag. Some classes you love the discussions and in some, you do not. In organization structure and design, we were presenting our restructure recommendation for two different companies, a small auto parts manufacturing company and another a software startup.

Babson MBA experience: September 2006

http://babsonmba.blogspot.com/2006_09_01_archive.html

Experiences of an MBA student (class of 2008) at Babson. Friday, September 29, 2006. Kudos to the artists, the fellow students and those who have included this stream in our curriculum. Saturday, September 23, 2006. Well It is fashionable to teach using case approach in business schools. It gets used, overused and abused pretty much by everyone in the B-school. Need to mention that the "case" approach used by a non-academic team to teach how students need to communicate with alumni was tasteless. Approxi...

Experiences of an MBA student (class of 2008) at Babson. Monday, July 30, 2007. Course registration: Why do we need intensive tracks? We have phased and tiered registration process. Full time students get first preference and in phase I, we get to choose 6 credit hours (2 courses) and then in phase II we get to choose the rest. For people like me who have opted for intensive track like Managing the Technology-Intensive Enterprise ( MTIE. Specialization seems to be out of favor at Babson. In finance class...

Experiences of an MBA student (class of 2008) at Babson. Sunday, September 30, 2007. Preparing for case based classes can be very tricky. If you analyzed a lot, you may be completely blind folded by strategic discussions in class. Sometimes, while reading a ( HBS. Case, you would be lost in the volume of information provided.

Babson MBA experience: February 2008

http://babsonmba.blogspot.com/2008_02_01_archive.html

Experiences of an MBA student (class of 2008) at Babson. Friday, February 15, 2008. The fun part for me was in learning about Richard Feynman's role in thinking machines. I have read his books before and did not know about his role in computing. It is indeed a great quality to synthesize complex problems in to smaller pieces that you can work with. PS: attention first years and soon to be Babson students: If you want to take this blog over after I graduate this May, contact me. Links to this post.
