VGSOM-IIT Kharagpur
to Hold its Annual Management Festival 'Occasio'
On February 10-11, 2007
VGSOM-IIT Kharagpur has launched
its management festival OCCASIO'07, which will be held on 10th-11th
February 2007 at VGSOM campus. OCCASIO is born of the desire to build a forum
where students, academia and corporate across the country can interact.
True to its name, OCCASIO provides an "opportunities galore" for those who have
skills and determination to compete with the best in their peer group. During
the course of the festival, students will be tested on several aspects, from
their knowledge of business trivia to their skills at preparing and implementing
business ideas.
Events
OCCASIO, in association with
SREI, brings Kibitzer - a Live Case Study on distressed Asset
Reconstruction. The case inspires the participants to venture into new
opportunities and dimensions of infrastructure financing. The participants need
to showcase their knowledge of financial fundamentals, as well as the problems
of practical financing on a large industrial scale. A panel of industry and
academic experts will judge the entries.
In continuation with the theme,
OCCASIO presents its Business Plan Competition - Megacorp. It is
aimed at those who are satisfied only by glory and not mediocrity. The plans are
evaluated for their creativity as well as their practicality in this randomly
chaotic world. In sum, the event is conceptualized for those who dare to dream,
foresee an opportunity and have the mettle to convert it into reality.
Furthermore, for strategically
inclined future managers, in collaboration with IBM, OCCASIO brings to
you Stratagem - a Business Strategy Game. The competition looks at
finding future leaders who have the will and determination to transform the
companies especially in a dynamic business environment. Success comes to those
who can spot the opportunity fastest, and can leap in at the right moment, with
the right resources.
As part of a platform encouraging
corporate interaction, an Online Quiz - Pentacle will be launched,
which is open to all. It is not just a management quiz, but also an event that
will challenge every aspect of one's general awareness and knowledge. The victor
who comes through shall have the satisfaction of knowing that he has battled
through the toughest terrain in order to attain the ultimate prize at OCCASIO.
Other events include the
Online Management Quiz - Strike 10. It consists of four different
quizzes, which will test the knowledge of the participants on subjects' viz.
Business Awareness, General Knowledge, Financial Management and Operations
Management.
To top it all, exhilarating
workshops on banking, lectures on marketing and finance topics by eminent and
erudite corporate personalities will be delivered at VGSOM during OCCASIO.
It is our belief that this is
going to be an occasion for each of us to meet and share ideas and views and
offer the best that we have. For that is what OCCASIO is all about.
