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

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.

Protector and screener to trusted advisor
The name of the game today in business is Human
Capital. We have come a long way from munimji to
planner and change agent and now to strategic advisorand business managers. Now Human capital managers
are not just mere talent protector and screener, they play
important role in M & As, Succession planning,
Organizational Development and moulding Industrial
Relation according to the business.

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.

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.
