As TISS is not an "MBA course", I just wonder how would I fit in the picture of what TISS is looking in its students.

My profile:
5+ years in IT industry
B.tech civil. (N.I.T)

I am looking for inputs like whether their are students of similar profile in your college or anything that will help me in understanding what TISS is looking out for.

Regards,

Hi All,Anybody having GK supplements from coaching institutes like TIME,CL,IMS for TISS related GK, please share......we have hardly anymore time for that.

First, I wish to thank you for ur inputs....which were valuale....

As I see.....apka choice ans (again concentrating on written test)....would be combining option 1 and 2......communicate clearly the situation as well as the solution in mind

is case main....give them the option to be with the company with the bad times.....or move ahead with their careers....

As far as I know there would be financial implications both ways.....and secondly are employees willing to be with the company without a salary for say 3 months or so.....practically possible (rather happens)....

Second this company is a subsidary.....to kya financial implications and the way issues are processesd remain same.....

Pls correct me if Im moving beyond the scope of the question....

Regards
Nidhi

hmm...ur case was about Lehmann Brothers which is a huge huge brand ( uptil it crashed..!!)

It is not easy for people to move on with their careers in some other organization, esp in turbulent circumstances, and even the company would not desire to let people go esp those who are of extreme value to it....

So, it can be a mix n match of both, to people who are demotivated, the company can let them go as per the law, and to people who still want to stick it out with the company through the hard times, they can remain but with pay cuts ( the money can be paid later...) There have been many people who have done this...esp ppl who have been well paid..we are not talking about daily wage labourers here who cannot live without a month's salary....

Look out for the fine details in the case study whenever u sit down to analyze them...

Cheers
