Week Twenty - Busy Bee

This has been one busy week! It started with the routine, and soon, free time was at a premium. Supply Chain Management - a report on how supply chain can afford companies strategic advantages. Who else? Dell! There are two companies who have made their money in managing their supply chain - one is the consummate channel - WalMart, the other is the consummate anti-channel - Dell. We looked at Dell in this report, but I am as fascinated by WalMart.

I had barely finished commenting on the Dell Direct model when we had to submit another beauty - the Managing Information Technology group report. This was done in learning teams, we looked at a retail operation and how IT systems can help this particular shop chain in bettering its performance. Let me be honest, I have always believed that IT is a tool, a very important tool, but only a tool. And I found that this particular tool has vast possibilities. We came up with suggestions that if properly implemented should contribute tremendously to the success of this operation.

Then came the tutorials and then came the cricket. And to top it off, another Desi Bollywood night. And this time, after the dancing, the eating and the dumb charades, we had our first official round of Antakshari. Work hard, play harder, it suddenly looks a lot easier to do than to say...
