Vista 2005 http://www.iimb-vista.com/html/home.htm


Activities at VISTA are structured around verticals such as Marketing, Finance, Systems, Operations, Economics and Strategy. Activities in each vertical are designed to explore aspects of the theme of VISTA that correspond to a particular field of management. Knowledge gained from activities in each vertical are like parts of a jigsaw puzzle which when put together will answer the issue that VISTA seeks to address.

All the major B-schools all over the world follow the pedagogy of case studies, as it has been found to be a superior mode of instruction for the field of management, given that it forces students to apply theories and concepts to solve real life problems, where issues do not have an objective solution. This subjectivity drives students to use their imagination to solve real life problems in the best possible manner.

VISTA 2005 will be organized along the lines of a case study. Activities in each vertical will be designed to form the parts of a jigsaw puzzle which when put together will seek to answer the issue that VISTA is addressing. The theme for VISTA 2005 will be “India Inc: Dream, Explore, Discover”. Being the case study that VISTA is, it will seek to analyze the performance of the Indian industry and create a road map for the future of India Inc. The theme shall act as the anchor which will hold the verticals together in arriving at the final answer.
