First Impressions of RSM
Posted by in Student life
Hoi! Ik ben Bhushan. I am an Indian and will be part of MBA class of 2011, starting in January next year.

Even on the days I do have some work I have ample time. I have utilised the time reading many of the articles posted on the students blackboard (a web based…

What to expect from an MBA?
Posted by in Student life
Over the period of the programme, I have observed students who get concerned, as they feel they have not gained great knowledge in a particular subject. Especially this is very apparent in courses like accounting and finance. This leads us to the most important question, What to expect from an MBA? The MBA programme covers various subjects such as operations, marketing, finance, strategy and human resource management. The basic objective of the programme is to equip students with skills that would help them be better managers. Some of the students would already posses certain skills and knowledge because of their…
