Strategy

So here I am in the wee hours of 13th April of my final year of Under Graduation. About 15 days back I finally decided to zero down on my final future option. This decision of my life would have an ever lasting impression of my life ahead and I have taken an utmost care and spent a lot of time deciding about it. So, after the completion of my under-graduation, a Bachelors in Technology I would be flying to pursue Masters in Engineering Management in no time. I must have considered a hell number of options for me. It was like a Chess game and deciding on final strategy was no easy game. Now that I have no tension as to where I would be or the questions of similar nature for at least few more months, I would relax and enjoy my final month at DA-IICT.

In past week I understood my course curriculum at case and I am excited to attend classes starting June. To give you an Idea course is fairly an integrated one concentrating on all areas of a firm namely technology, Management, finance, accounts, etc. Now all these areas do not work in secrecy to each other. I believe the success of firm be it technology intensive, service or a products industry rely upon the co-ordination of each of these domains. Some of the book I have read in past week are:

1. Creating Blue Ocean Strategy
2. The Power of Six Sigma
3. Production Process and Development
4. Engineering economic analysis

and lots of other. This collected reading has empowered me to appreciate the true meanings of Engineering Management. I think this program would open up my thinking or I should say Applied Thinking in understanding Engineering Processes and its coordination in a Management Scenario. I am right now focusing on Product Strategy techniques for new Technology Products. As of now my career plan is to be a Consultant as an Analyst in a challenging company. I am open to change my plan and in fact looking forward to understand various possible career profiles for me.

Apart from all these I donated blood on 18th March. It was a good feeling and felt more matured towards my society needs. Also I walked on the Ramp on 11th March in Synpase 2007. I have lot to write about it. This was one hell of a of experience and would write about it soon. Also made a visit to Mehsana Water Park. This was again a cherished experience spent with my best friends.

I look forward to our Farewell Party, my Visa interview(date not taken yet), B.Tech Project Presentation, lots and lots of moments with my friends in next month.
