ABOUT US

Situated in the picturesque setting of the North

Campus, Delhi University, the Department of

Commerce, Delhi School of Economics (DSE) is an

ideal place to study in. It was formally set up as a

separate entity in 1967. It has imbibed the DSE

tradition of exploring new frontiers of

knowledge and innovation along with

academics. In its history spanning four decades,

it has redefined commerce education in the

country. The department has the legitimate

claim and pride of being the premier institution inIndia, where commerce as a discipline stands for

business analysis. The rapid growth of the

Department of Commerce is reflected in its

expansion as well as novelty of its academic

programs. As a response to market imperatives,

the Department of Commerce initiated two newposts graduate professional programs in 1995,

namely, Master of Human Resource and

Organizational Development (MHROD) and

Master of international Business (MIB). In a

short period of thirteen years, these courses

have made a mark in contemporary areas of

Human Resource and International Business.

The aforementioned lines sum up aptly the economic and business

developments of the last decade. Battered by contracting markets and

frozen credit, many businesses today are fighting for survival. Indeed, the

global financial crisis in recent times provides a mandate for restructuring.

But survival is not the end goal. Change is coming anyway, so leaders

need to take control. The only difference today is that uncertainty and risk

are not just tied to the business opportunity you are pursuingyou also

must identify and manage risk that is tied to the global economy.

Challenges and business go hand in hand. As we come into 2011 the

economic prospects inevitably look uncertain, with a number of indicators

not looking too helpful; inflation remains rather stubbornly high, consumer

demand is muted, and substantial planned cuts in public expenditure are

in prospect. A smooth sea, they say, never makes a skilled mariner.

A crisis is always an opportunity for revival. But this depends on how you

take this opportunity. Cutting back and hunkering down may get youthrough the short-term crisis but will not position you to be a leader in the

future. That's why you need a mindset that says: "I'm not just going to

surviveI'm going to thrive." Obviously, you must be realistic about what

you need to do to survive in the short term, but the trick is to do those

things in a way that moves your strategy forward. Even leaders who need

to make very deep cuts can think strategically about where the business

will be and how they might build for the future.th

Erudition'11, 16 annual convention of MHROD and MIB, Department of

Commerce, Delhi School of Economics, is an attempt to identify these

very Challenges and Opportunities that lie inherent in the tumultuous

times in which we subsist. We invite you to be the part of this convention

and enlighten us with your rich knowledge and experience.

BUSINESS IN TURBULENT TIMES

Challenges and Opportunities

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times; it was the

age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness... we had

everything before us, we had nothing before us; we were all

going directly to Heaven, we were all going the other way

- Charles Dickens

Panel Discussion 1:

FII in the Developing Economy: A Reason to Rejoice or

a Disaster in Disguise?

As rapidly growing economies like ours continue to attract

foreign investments into their capital markets, they have

also entrenched policy makers and economists in these

countries in a situation of a profound strategic impasse. Ina dilemma like this, what should a growing economy which

desperately needs more investments to sustain its growth,

do- accept the Faustian bargain of FIIs and catalyze its

growth, or reject these investments and move on a slower

yet safer path?

Lunch and networking

Panel Discussion 2:

Does consumer choice lead to consumer

satisfaction?

From fascinating electronic gadgets to your restaurant's

gourmet options, no product or service comes today

without offering the modern consumer a plethora of

choices. While this superfluity of choices is both

fascinating and magically attractive, whether or not it leads

to greater consumer satisfaction is a question that has

gathered much importance and weight in modern

marketing scenario.

Tea and networking

Panel Discussion 3:

Dollar What next?The Global Financial Crisis of the

past decade shook the basis of many such established

doctrines and institutions of modern economic system

which the world had earlier considered immaculate andsacrosanct. As a new financial and economic order

unfolds post recession, monetary experts around the

globe are now contemplating whether the US Dollar, which

had become the unquestioned champion of global trade in

our recent past, would continue to retain its position in the

coming future.

Panel Discussion 1:

Infinite diversity in infinite combinations

The modern workforce is an amalgamation of diversity, interms of age, gender and demographics. It is not bound by

territorial, cultural or national identities. Diversity is

shaping organizational structure in myriad ways.

However, infinite possibilities beget infinite challenges. It

will be a challenge to develop an organizational culture

which embraces diversity and harnesses its full potential.

This session will attempt to shed light on the techniques

that present day organizations are using.Lunch and networking

Panel Discussion 2

Change is not only likely, its inevitable

The concept of change has not been easily accepted by

the human civilization. The dominance of the giant

transnational organization was challenged with the

emergence of an entrepreneurial spirit which led to the

development of a new organizational segment referred to

as the small and medium sized organizations. When the

concept of choice became more robust for employees,

organizations embraced a sense of greater flexibility in

order to retain the best and brightest. Finally, the last

decade has been witness to the staggering influence of

social networking and organizations have had to adapt

accordingly. Therefore this session will attempt to argue

that embracing change wasn't, isn't and never will be a

matter of choice.

Capital. We have come a long way from munimji to

important role in M & As, Succession planning,

Organizational Development and moulding Industrial

ERUDITION 10

Erudition'10 - The 15th Annual Convention of the Department of Commerce, Delhi School of

Economics, University of Delhi was a huge and resounding success. The Annual Convention, a joint

venture by the students of the Master of Human Resource and Organizational Development

(MHROD) and Master of International Business (MIB) programs, was held on the 17th and 18th of

September, 2010 at the sprawling Paintal Memorial Golden Jubilee Auditorium, V.P. Chest Institute,

Delhi University.

The event, themed, Constructing Corporate Conscience: Introspecting the Resurgence witnessed

in course of these two days, the brightest minds from the corporate arena, governmental

organizations, foreign dignitaries, academia along with the distinguished faculty members and the

students coming together and discussing about the most pertinent issues that had been affecting the

business world. Prof K V Bhanumurthy, the Head of Department, welcomed the distinguished

speakers and delegates. The event had the pleasure of playing host to Honorable Minister of

Corporate Affairs, Mr Salman Khurshid and His Excellency, Mr Julio De La Guardia, Ambassador of

Panama, who had graced the event as the Chief Guest and Guest of Honour respectively. Souvenir,

the annual journal of the twin courses, published under the aegis of the Department of Commerce,

was also launched on the occasion. The Convention also acted as a meaningful platform for us to

celebrate the success of our alumni, who have greatly contributed to their field of work through their

insights and unflinching integrity.

The action that followed in the span of the Convention left everyone enthralled as distinguished

speakers from various facets of the corporate and academic spheres delved into an enriching

discussion on eclectic range of issues pertaining to the contemporary business world. Keeping in mind

the backdrop of the global economic scenario in which the world was struggling with the aftermath of

the financial crisis and economic meltdown, Erudition 2010 gained an even more far reaching

significance, in that each speaker shared their ideas, experiences and perspectives on the changing

economic system in which global economic institutions, financial system, organizations and countrieswere experimenting with new designs and models to evolve and beat the after effects of the crisis.

While the first day saw new paradigms emerging on such topics as exploiting chaos for inspiring

innovation, building organizational sustainability and resilience, and the centrality of people in

business organizations; the second day acted as a potent forum for discussing issues such as gains

from corporate social responsibility, the financial lessons for organizations from the recent

meltdown and the ethical implications of lobbying in international corridors. The Convention was

rich and comprehensive in its coverage and depth and concluded with a great sense ofaccomplishment and fulfilment for the organizers and has etched as a saga of intellectual

extravagance in the minds of everyone who witnessed it.


12/16

The successful fructification of one's efforts into end results is always a matter ofimmense pride for anyone. It feels even better when the end result is seen andappreciated as a mega event, both in terms of the value addition to the studentsas well as a worthwhile exercise for the participating speakers.

Erudition- the Annual Convention and the flagship event of the Department ofCommerce, Delhi School of Economics, University of Delhi, is primarily a studentinitiative with due support from the faculty at the Department. And year after year,

the bar is set a little higher, the scope broadens, and the expectations rise, givingthe Team a challenge to do better.

In being a student initiated and organized event, Erudition becomes thematerialization of the Team Convention's year-long endeavor. It is an attempt tomore learning which a little further is from the realms of the classroom teaching. Itinvolves student liaisons with the who's who of the corporate world; and requiresthe students to work in tandem with each other to ensure that the event is asuccess. Apart from the Team Convention, the efforts of the student volunteers

cannot and should not be ignored.
