Instructors Introduction - Favorite Quotes

• "Champions aren't made in
gyms. Champions are made
from something they have
deep inside them: A desire, a
dream, a vision. They have to
have last-minute stamina, they
have to be a little faster, they
have to have the skill and the
will. But the will must be
stronger than the skill." -
Muhammad Ali

Examination
• I personally believe in “thorough studies” so
usually no choices given in the exam
• Every thing discussed, during the class or given as
reading material, could be part of the exams
• Questions will be formulated in a way to examine
both bookish as well as conceptual thinking
• Other details will be given close to Mid
• I will try to follow my simple rule that is
– “ I’ll be very friendly in the lectures and very strict in the
exam hall (believe me no chance of misconduct…)”

Lecture Notes
• Available from Photostat shop before lectures or preferably one
day before the start of new week
• Usually the lecture material will cover the topics of one
week
• Lecture Notes also now available online on the given
website address

• Lecture Notes will not be in detail format rather these will
contain topics of discussion and important announcements
regarding assessments.
• Most Importantly Lecture Notes are just a supporting material
and students must not forget to read books for detail and
complete understanding

Course Administration
• Sessionals
– Written assignments (Small Tasks) (details in coming lectures)
• Critiques on Articles (a one page summary on an article related to the
discussion topic and trends in Training and Development
• Idea is to initiate research oriented writing not “cut-copy-paste”
– Attendance, Presentations, Quiz & Class Discussion & Participation (as a
regular activity)
– Volunteer presentations (you must not be that familiar with this kind of
stuff but you need to respond to it quickly!)
– Sessional’s loot sale
– Formal Presentations in groups and preferably case study presentations
linking contents to an organization (local)

One of the Major Sessional

• Case Study Presentation
– Students in groups of 7-8 will choose one of the course nominated case
studies and develop a presentation for discussion
– Eventually will present their findings in the shape of a Presentation in
front of the class or classes on Multimedia
– Students need to submit both Hard (Printed) and Soft copies (Computer
files) of the Case itself and that of the PowerPoint Presentation
– This is day 1 so you can start working now!
– I will myself present at least one Case Study well before the
presentation schedule so that you people have an idea

Course Orientation
• Basically Theoretical focus & Practical as well
Introduction of Concepts and Issues regarding management
(This subject is developed in case study mode: it means that
there are lot of case studies)
• But
– The practical orientation will also be also be a major focus of the
course (this will include practical demonstration on multimedia)
– Lecture notes will include more graphical explanation of things to
give more practical orientation about concepts & applications
especially the latest trends
– Formal Presentation from Students will also work in this regard
– Video or Audio Presentation will also be part of the lectures

Text & References

• Focus will be on topics rather Chapters of any text
• Many Text/books are available in market
– Stephen P. Robbins & Marry Coulter (Latest Edition). “Management”.
– Thomas S. Bateman, Scott A. Snell. “Management: The New
Competitive Landscape”. (Latest Edition).

• Mostly things will be taught from the Text but students need
to broaden their view and consult as many additional
references as possible (Preferably available in local market
and from the Internet)
