Learn
to Innovate so that you can Innovate to Learn @ GIM
In 1921, Frederick R Barnard used the phrase 'a picture is worth a thousand words' in the first national trade magazine for advertising Printer's Ink. The idea that graphics can tell a story as effectively as, if not more effectively than, a large amount of text is a widely accepted notion. To understand the strategic inclusion of photography, and to align this with the modern management learning, Goa Institute of Management recently conducted a 4 day workshop on photography.
The objectives behind conducting this workshop was to: (1) to use photography for market visit documentation, product displays, advertising (hoarding), flash cards, storyboards; (2) to aid in problem-solving through techniques of framing, perspectives and dimensions and (3) to teach empathy, observation, metaphors etc. The workshop was conducted by Uday Tadphale, an acclaimed art director. Both, the students as well as the faculty members of GIM were invited for this workshop, which complemented the classroom learning imparted by courses like Integrated Marketing Communications, New Product Development and Creativity and Innovation. The students who participated in this workshop are all set to exhibit their work in an art gallery in Panjim.
The photography workshop is one of the annual events organized by 'The Centre for Creativity, Innovation and Design Thinking' @ GIM. 'The Centre' organized a series of workshops covering theatre, dance, photography and film making. Previously, 'The Centre' had conducted a 5 day workshop called 'Acting for Managers'. Mr Glenn Hayden and Ms Kyla D'Souza, internationally schooled corporate trainers, drew students out of their comfort zones, stressing on self-expression, articulation and group dynamics. "It was an eye opener and made us connect better with each other" said Betsy a PGP-1 student. Mr Hayden felt the students were drawn into the whole process and after a few hesitant starts threw themselves into the middle.
'The Centre' drives the credo of learning at every stage-classrooms as well as out of class events. "At GIM, the learning never stops" says Professor Cedric Serpes who chairs 'The Centre' with a team of dedicated faculty with diverse skills that enrich the student's learning experience at every level in GIM. Professor Padmanabhan believes that it takes diversity of learning to form a global manager and 'The Centre' provides diverse opportunities to make this happen.

Imitation
Games @GIM
In an effort to make learning fun, faculties at GIM use various simulations-based games in their courses. Prof. Hemant Kumar Padhiari who teaches Strategic Management with Capstone business simulation, feels that simulations like Capstone provide students with an opportunity to test assumptions and learn from mistakes so that they are better prepared to step confidently into their business careers. Through Capstone, students get the chance to apply what they've learnt across all disciplines of business in one strategic, competitive, and engaging learning experience.
Prof. Hemant divides his class into competing teams of about 6 students each, setting out their business' financial objectives, and coming up with a coherent business strategy, which is to be implemented through decisions to be uploaded into the system. In this process, the students acquire a strategic/holistic mind-set towards business. They understand the entire business process and its nuances in a simple and unforgettable manner. The simulation is cross-functional. Teams get to run a $100 million company for 8 'virtual' years. They make decisions relating to inventory / cash / capacity management, R&D, equity / bond / short-term financing, production, sales/promotion, TQM, HR, disaster management etc. Teams compete against each other for Profit, Stock Price, Market Share, ROA, ROE, ROS etc. The programme is web-based where the teams draft their Vision and Mission statements and adopt a strategy. The teams figure out what is happening in the industry including the competition and feed their decisions with respect to their stated strategy, into the software. At the end of each round, conceptual inputs are provided to the students to enable them fine tune their strategies. Furthermore, the inputs of all the teams are processed and the results in terms of financial performance and other parameters are given to the participants. Teams must plan not only for short-term profits, but also for long-term objectives; "the name of the game is not just tactics, but long-term strategy" says Prof. Hemant.
Prof. Tarun Pasricha who is a marketing faculty uses another simulation called MarkStrat, which according to him helps in integrating the students into the real life and the day-to-day choices that companies face in a competitive environment. MarkStrat is a strategic marketing simulation, which offers MBA students and professionals a risk-free platform to test theories and make decisions. As per Prof. Kapil (Marketing Faculty), every aspect of the game is real: from competitive forces to the effects of sales, distribution, R&D and advertising. Each team's actions will have direct consequences on the market, thus competitive analysis is a must. Competitors' actions and reactions, new product launches, sales and distribution strategies define how teams will manage their own product portfolio, R&D projects, positioning, pricing and distribution channels.
As a part of higher education, towards being future managers, it is extremely important that a student learns not just the subjects but also how to manage events and people in real life
All the activities in GIM are governed by the students. Be it organizing an event, taking care of the food, maintenance of college property or establishing public relations, every single activity is student-driven.
The members of the club committees are chosen every year by a fair process and they are entrusted with the responsibilities their respective clubs are in charge of. In total, there are 18 such clubs. Each club handles a different set of responsibilities and organizes a different set of events. There are times when these clubs work hand-in-hand to organize bigger events like TEDx and UN-PRME.
These clubs keep the culture alive and the college life happening by organizing intra-college events - academic, fun and sports - as well as celebrating all the festivals which is very essential in a country like ours.
Being a part of this, gives the students a better experience as to how things are managed when it comes to real situations and they can, often, put their classroom-learning to practical use.
Know more about GIM -Resposible Management Education @ GIM
GIM has been quite active and successful in training and producing socially responsible managers. The 6th United Nations supported Principles for Responsible Management Education (PRME) Asia Forum, organized by Goa Institute of Management on 27-28 November, 2015 was one of the many activities that happens at GIM to promote socially responsible management education. The Forum explored why and how responsible management education could be integrated into the curriculum of B-Schools. The forum also included a one-day workshop on Teaching Responsible Management. The purpose of the workshop was to provide teachers from Asian business schools with ideas about how they could inculcate sensitivity to society and environment.
The PRME Asia Forum was attended by more than 75 national and international participants. The international participations were from countries like China, Japan, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, USA, Tanzania, Hong Kong etc. The forum started with the inaugural address by Mr. Jonas Haertle, head, PRME Secretariat. One of the participants, Prof June Qian from Tsinghua University, China said "I enjoyed the forum very much due to the contents of the forum as well as the friends I made during the forum. I would love to discuss how my colleagues as well as myself could engage with GIM. If GIM students like to pay a visit to Beijing, my office can help make arrangement." The Forum concluded with the setting up of an emergent PRME chapter in India. The host of the seventh PRME Asia Forum is Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Hong Kong. Prof Pamsy Hui from Hong Kong Polytechnic University gave the acceptance speech. We hope to establish a network with other B-Schools in Asia, and use that to improve the spread and quality of teaching and research on responsible management through joint initiatives, says Prof. Ranjini Swamy, convenor of the 6th PRME Asia Forum. The Give Goa project of GIM which was initiated in 2011 was appreciated and encouraged by all the participants of the forum.
The Give Goa project of GIM aims to help students become socially aware and responsible towards the broader good of society. Prof. Sukhathankar, Give Goa coordinator, hopes that with Give Goa, students would be better able to describe "real-world" problems and circumstances faced by the community and realize the need for engagement of business and individuals in addressing problems of the community. Prof. Manas Mayur, Give Goa coordinator, says "because business is a subset of and exerts a significant impact on society, it has the responsibility to help improve society. Since society asks no more and no less of any of its members, why should business be exempt from such responsibility? Additionally, profitability and growth go hand in hand with responsible treatment of employees, customers, and the community."
Give Goa is a mandatory course like any other core course at GIM. The only difference is that it is a one year project where students of the first year of the Post Graduate Program are formed into groups of six to undertake a project at an organization in Goa. Each group is guided by a faculty member and by a project coordinator in the client organization. Projects are taken up broadly in the fields of Education, Social Welfare, Agriculture extension and Public Health. They are finalized, based on inputs from the Give Goa coordination team, the client organizations, and the students of GIM. In a survey of students in mid-2012, more than 75% of the 132 respondents said they got a better insight into the circumstances of less privileged people. About 65% said they felt more concerned about the less privileged sections after the projects. About 55% said they would like to take up the concerns of the less privileged sections in the future. Students appear to have become more aware of the circumstances of the underprivileged individuals. They voluntarily initiated several activities such as organization of a flash-mob- cum- street play as part of the International initiative called "One Billion Rising," to highlight the need for women's empowerment.

Be Part
of the Experience: A Look Inside the GIM Financial Lab
Goa Institute of Management (GIM) has been using the Financial lab as a platform for providing hands-on Thomson Reuters training for various finance courses and workshops since September 2014. The financial lab, the first of its kind in is the result of a collaboration between Gim and Thomson Reuters, the world's leading source of intelligent information for businesses and professionals.
Located in a dedicated space within the GIM building, the Financial Lab serves as a training centre for students, faculties and visiting professionals. It aims to strengthen the institute's standing not only as a leader of academic excellence, but also as a bridge between the study and application of business in a practical setting. The lab is equipped with Thomson Reuters Eikon, Thomson Reuters flagship financial desktop, providing students with insight into how financial professionals access and utilise information. Students can also look back at a wide variety of historical data, helping them achieve more on many of the institute's programmes. The lab gives users a commanding view of the global real-time financial arena and provides a combination of news, information and insight as well as access to the global Reuters trading community. Its integrated price discovery and trading capabilities across all asset classes mean that decisions can be made and executed from a single desktop. With knowledge on this, students are expected to equip themselves with better understandings of financial concepts as well as the real financial markets functionality.
Dr. Abhishek Ranga, faculty in finance, feels that "Industry, and the financial industry in particular, expect students to possess the core knowledge, and more importantly apply this in the real world. This Financial Lab will teach students to use up-to-date analytics, help ensure that they are "ready for industry" on graduation, and increase their employability. This is the mission of the lab." Dr. Manas Mayur, faculty in finance, explains that "GIM believe in cultivating professional financial talent that will greatly benefit the industry. Wherever possible, Thomson Reuters is keen to contribute by working closely with us to raise the competitiveness and the level of knowledge of our future business leaders."
"Customers use our products to make critical decisions that drive the financial markets and secure business" says Thompson Reuter sales executive. Thomson Reuters is the world's leading source of intelligent information for businesses and professionals. We combine industry expertise with innovative technology to deliver critical information to leading decision makers in the financial and risk, legal, tax and accounting, intellectual property and science and media markets, powered by the world's most trusted news organization. Thomson Reuters shares are listed on the Toronto and New York Stock Exchanges. The company has around 50,000 employees in over 100 countries, and was named 40th in the Business Week 2009 ranking of the Top 100 Global Brands.
