Of Negotiations and more…

Negotiations class gets the K vote. Completely and undoubtedly. The class is fast paced, the cases are as real world as they get and the insights we are learning make me confident that we are ready to take on the world.

Also, getting the K vote is rural marketing. After Kotler and Gillette and SouthWest airlines, classes in this class are refreshingly ‘Indian’. I enjoy the quirky insights about Indian consumers we are getting exposed to and the fast facts on consumer trends. I feel ready to market to this market. I mean, there seems to be oodles of potential in this market and I am looking forward to getting my hands dirty (ummm…pun unintended).

At the risk of changing tracks mid way, (this is exactly how CP happens in class sometimes by the way…why don’t profs get annoyed?) lobbying heavily for the K vote is also the all new menu at the Café. The find of the century is clearly the Spouts and Pomegranate salad.

Track change again.

Ever since I have come to ISB, the duration and intensity of my happy and sad phases have declined considerably. There is so much to do constantly that life gives you no time to gloat, mope or remain angry for more than 12 minutes precisely. After a nasty round of negotiations which about seven months ago would have left me irritable for the entire day, all it takes is a random but sweet message from home and the famed sprouts salad to restore my worn spirit. Maybe I am getting to superficial or maybe I am finally growing up.

Anyway, contending for the K squat scores is the upcoming weekend with a total of 6 deliverables through it. Also, vying for a spot on the K squat countdown is the bidding exercise. Barely stepped out of one round and now we are already in the thick of the second. Sigh! We are living life in the fast lane these days.

 

Pre reads for Marketing Research (also a great course) and Managing Teams (Is Prof. Moon cool or what! Love his humor and sarcasm.) homework beckons…Make way, here I come!
