Entrepreneurship as a Career Option for MBA Students.

MBA Students dreaming about high paying big corporate jobs is now an idea of yesteryears. The mantra for today is to start-on-own. Time is just perfect for converting your idea into reality. The reasons for saying this are several. With its start-up India campaign, Government is trying to create an ecosystem supportive of innovations and start-ups. The idea behind this campaign is to realize long term sustainable economic growth and large scale employment opportunities for demographic dividends of India. This initiative, through its ‘action plan’ for implementation, has plenty of opportunities for the youngsters. Under this scheme, entrepreneurs get support starting from simplification of processes & handholding to funding & incentives. The scheme also facilitates Industry-Academia Partnership and Incubation. An Incubation center provides basic infrastructure like office space & stationary, furniture, connectivity amongst others.

The most equipped to take advantage of this scheme are students pursuing their PGDM, from good management colleges, for several reasons.

·       They have the technical knowledge of functions of business. They have theoretical understanding of the nitty-gritty of managing a venture. They also have understanding of business related rules and regulations.

·       Good PGDM Colleges have encouraging environment for entrepreneurship. The Entrepreneurship-cells or E-cells are very prevalent in colleges. These E-cells not only creates a favorable mind-set for entrepreneurship but they also resources for students to start campus companies.

·       The industry exposure during management education can help the students to identify partners, mentors and investor. Two years stint at good MBA colleges connects you to an alumni network of people who can have an impact on your set-up.

·       Apart from this management professionals also have minimum risk involve. In case their venture couldn’t do well, they have the option of joining other organizations. The social perception about starting your own venture has changed a lot. The stigma attached earlier has now converted into admiration. Companies appreciate innovative and entrepreneurial people.

Best Business Schools in North India

With so many MBA colleges in the northern part of India especially across Delhi NCR, it can become very difficult for a student to choose the top MBA College. Given the large number of institutes, especially with their boastful claims (genuine and otherwise), it is difficult for a student to make the right decision regarding the selection of an institute. That the definition of a 'top B-School' varies between people and across years makes matters greatly complicated. For some people it’s a platform where it can give a boost to people’s career via placement but if not placed/selected then it might be seen as a waste of money.

 It has been seen most of the times that B school exaggerates their claims to lure the potential candidates. But this is the time where students need to be smart and should assess b schools not on the basis of placements but also in terms of other important parameters like Learning experience, Living experience, Placement performance, Selection Process and Future orientation. This important decision would later become the opportunity or a waste of money for them. Considering the issues of which b school should we go for. I have collated a list of top B schools and private B schools in North India based on the above mentioned parameters from a survey conducted by Business Today-MDRA, Best Business School Survey.

Organizational behavior & human resource management: How they are related.

Organizational behavior is a term used to explain the concept of the behavior of individuals who constitute the human elements of an organization. This is related to human resources, which is a concept that is used to describe the management of the employees in any organization. From the description of the two terms, it is easy to see how organizational behavior (OB) and human resource management (HRM) are related. Organizational behavior looks at the individual behavior, and then moves to group behavior, progressively to the organization behavior, which we can also call the organization culture. It requires skills to understand how the organization and its members affect each other. Its areas include frameworks for diagnosing and resolving problems in organizational settings. Thereby we can say that organizational behavior (OB) is the study of individual and group dynamics within an organization setting whereas human behavior, call it individual behavior is a sub-set of organization behavior.

Human behavior is inherent in each individual which means his characteristics, his way of behaving and thinking are his own features while organizational behavior is a group or company culture unique of each own felt and done. The relationship between organizational behavior and human resource management stems from the fact that human resource management can be used as a tool for shaping organizational behavior.  The effective use of human resources can be used to shape the perceptions and behavior of the employees in an organization, resulting in a desired outcome in their organizational behavior. This link between organizational behavior and human resource management can be seen in the area of the workers' attitudes toward their jobs. Part of the responsibilities of the human resources department is managing the issues related to the welfare of the employees in an organization. When this responsibility is pursued diligently, the employees will have a more positive attitude toward their jobs and will be more willing to go the extra mile in furthering their duties.

Thus we can say that the field of organizational behavior and human resource management deals with the behavior of individuals and groups within organizations. They investigate the enhancement of the effectiveness of an organization’s human capital in order to gain competitive advantage and achieve organizational goals. OB field include topics such as personality/dispositions, emotion and affect, motivation, social concept and identity, decision making and cognition, justice and trust, organization and work attachment, leadership, groups and teams, and organizational culture and climate whereas HR encompass topics such as job analysis, recruitment, selection, training and development, performance appraisal, compensation, quality of work life, workforce diversity, and strategic human resource management. Students seeking managerial careers in any business function can valuably learn about leadership, motivation, morale, performance, teams, organizational culture and organizational design by opting organizational behavior course, whereas those interested in making their career as human resource management specialists and managers can gain technical knowledge about selection, performance appraisal, training, compensation, workforce diversity, work and family programs, and strategic human resource management.
