MARSHMALLOW EXERCISE FOR DESIGN THINKING

Design Thinking is the essential ability to combine empathy, creativity, and rationality to meet user needs and drive business success. With an aim to encourage students to practice design thinking mindsets, the School of Management conducted the Marshmallow Exercise for students from various disciplines. This exercise helped them learn crucial aspects of collaboration, innovation, hidden assumptions and team spirit.

The activity took 45 minutes in total, wherein the participants were divided into groups of 6. Each team was given a certain amount of spaghetti, a marshmallow and paper tapes. The teams were given a limited time of 18 minutes to build a free-standing spaghetti structure with the marshmallow placed on top. The team with the tallest structure won the challenge.

This activity had a huge impact on students when they failed to build something deceptively simple. As the teams rushed to build up their towers taller than their competitors, they ignored the most important aspect i.e. stability, and saw their structures collapsing towards the end. Surprisingly, the winning team had built the shortest structure but it could stand the test of stability. The realization that planning is as important as building was the key take away. The fun design and build activity taught some simple but profound lessons in testing, iteration, critical thinking and resilience.

Use of Mathematics for Managerial Decision Making

Mathematics is used in almost every aspect of life. It also plays an important role in business decision making. Business mathematics is used to record and manage business operations. Many Business activities like accounting, financial analysis, sales etc. are done by using business mathematics. A businessman has to take thousands of decisions every day for his business, therefore, mathematics helps in rationalizing the information and it gives the accurate results inherent for any decision making.

Mathematics has numerous concepts like statistics, probability, algebra, calculus etc. that are used in business mathematics. These concepts provide accurate statistics solutions for various business activities. Mathematics is an important subject which enhances the knowledge of the person and it also improves problem-solving skills.

For making a good and effective decision, you must have accurately driven data. Business mathematics summarizes and presents data in an accurate form. It becomes easier for the decision maker to take quick and necessary action immediately.

The use of business mathematics assists you to make an important decision based on numerical and measurable scale and not on personal belief and opinions. The decisions made using statistical studies are more productive.

Using statistical data for analyzing various business activities have several benefits:

  • It      simplifies the decision-making process by neglecting complex and confusing      situations.
  • The      testing and interpretation of the decision become easier.
  • The      data driven by using business mathematics can be used again and again for      similar situations.
  • Modification      becomes easier.

Business mathematics also plays a crucial role in the sales department. When it comes to making a decision regarding sales and profit margins, business mathematics is used for determining the accurate cost of the product. It helps in deciding the fair cost of the product or service so that it can generate a fair amount of profit.

The decision making task comes with so many responsibilities. It is a critical step which makes a huge impact in shaping the future of the organization.  It is important to make effective decisions that make development and growth of the business. Mathematical data and calculation evaluate the quality of information that is used for making decisions. It can be used for making both big as well as small decisions. In today’s world, most of the organizations use business mathematics for decision making because it is becoming very popular. Making decisions for business has become all about numerical exercise.

World Art Community ( ENTREPRENEURSHIP & BRANDING ACTIVITY )

An activity in Entrepreneurship and b...ng was conducted as a part of 'Fashion marketing & management' course for 6th semester Fashion Design students by the School of Management. This course aimed to teach lessons in b...ng, merchandising, marketing, entrepreneurship,
IPR etc and is an excellent example of inter-departmental collaboration. In this activity, each student assumed two roles: a Designer and a Business Associate (BA). As a designer, each student made 5 handmade products, mostly using sustainable material. Then they learnt the basics of b..ng, and
worked on their logo, visiting cards, invoice and other elements of b.......ng that they want to associate with their products. Each designer then picked a classmate who would act as his/herBusiness Associate (BA). The BA was supposed to price those products appropriately and sell these at a special exhibition organized on the campus itself. Through this, they learnt the basics of merchandising and marketing. The primary purpose of this activity was experiential learning, and application of the theories that they learn in the class. The learning of the students was proven when some of them were selected by the World Art Community to sell their products on their portal. World Art Community is an online art & craft marketplace where artists & designers showcase their work for direct purchase by clients. The curation process was based on criteria such as the product, its description, material used, approx size, price etc. All the participating students received constructive feedback from the e commerce site.
