Venture ahead
The new Master’s in Entrepreneurship and Family Business (MEFB) course is meant for students who want to start their own ventures or expand the family business, writes
Harsimrat Kaur
These days, even IIMs students are keen to commence their own ventures, as they want to be their own boss and utilise their management skills to carve a niche in the dynamic world of business. If you are also looking to start your own venture or want to expand your family business and need to sharpen your managerial ability, a new course promises to equip you with the relevant skills. ‘To create job providers, not job seekers’ is the punchline for the Master’s in Entrepreneurship and Family Business (MEFB), a new course introduced by Goswami Ganesh Dutta Sanatan Dharma College, Sector 32, Chandigarh. This course is for students who want to start their own ventures or diversify and expand their family business. Nisha Angrish, course coordinator, says, “The MEFB aims to produce good entrepreneurs, who can, in turn, generate employment through their leadership and managerial skills. So, this course is for providing employment to others, indirectly. It will produce entrepreneurs with leadership skills.” “An entrepreneur is a manager but a manager is not necessarily an entrepreneur. Through this course we will give students a comprehensive understanding of entrepreneurship and enterprising conduct, hence churning out skilled entrepreneurs,” she says. “The risk-taking ability is very important in business. It is the key quality of a good entrepreneur. And our focus will be to infuse this among the students through this course.” “The MEFB aims to equip students with the practical aspects of business to enable them to cope with stress and conflicts through creative thinking,” she adds. This year there will be no entrance test but from next year, an aptitude test will be conducted by Panjab University. Harsh Lata Khurana, a faculty member, says, “The course attempts to bridge the gap between the theoretical and practical aspects of business. When you start a business, you face many difficulties. You have to purchase land, you require a loan and so on. We will train our students to tackle all these hassles through practical projects, industrial visits and handling of live case studies.” The duration of the course is two years, divided into four semesters. It comprises brain-storming sessions, group discussions, case studies, project presentations, seminars, summer internships as well as campus visits to industries. Subjects like advance family business management, entrepreneurship development, family business management and succession planning, business law and taxation, computers technology and change management and total quality management will be covered in the course.

He has gone places in the hospitality industry, having put in nearly 20 years and served with big names like the Taj group and Leela hotels. Now, as the GM, The Oberoi Cecil, Shimla, Srikant Peri, is buoyant about their growing tourist traffic, in particular, and the boom in the hotel sector, in general. In an interview with Chetna Keer Banerjee, he says that better connectivity has contributed a lot to the rise in tourist traffic from the NCR and the Punjab towns of Ludhiana, Jalandhar and Chandigarh. All this translates into more opportunities for youngsters in this sector. Excerpts:
What are the prospects of a career in hospitality? Excellent. With so many new hospitality ventures coming up, the rapid growth of cities, etc, a huge demand-supply gap has arisen in the manpower needs of this sector. This has created a host of jobs in various areas of the hotel industry. What are the emerging streams? With budget tourism growing at a great speed, this area offers many options. Besides, revenue management is an area that has come up in recent times and is set to expand in future. What are the challenges of this job? The main challenge for those opting for a career in hospitality is striking a work-life balance. This is a field where when others holiday, you work. Besides the physical rigour of working for over 8-9 hours at a stretch, it entails a personal cost of not being able to be with your family during festivals and vacations, for that’s the busy season for hotel staff. More than the ‘knowledge’ of hospitality, it’s the ‘spirit’ of the work that matters. How do you tackle attrition? We have a formal reward and recognition programme in place in addition to systematic and fair compensation packages. We believe in rewarding worker loyalty to the organisation. The real challenge is not lack of skilled manpower, but being able to spot talent at the right place. What is the skills set required for this job? Obviously, a capacity to withstand the physical rigours of the job, often having to be on your feet for long hours. In addition, compassion and respect for clients, good soft skills and loads of common sense.

Those suffering from some physical disability, or those who have been incapacitated in some way are often unable to find sustained treatment and rehabilitation once the medical diagnosis and treatment has been completed. Occupational therapy is a medical service that treats individuals with mental or physical disabilities or illness, to handle their disabilities, restore its functioning and to perform whatever normal activities are possible. With the increase in medical facilities, hospitals, health care centers, polyclinics, nursing homes and diagnostic centres, there a growing demand for such medically related proficiencies. Experts like occupational therapists, therefore, play a very important role in assisting the doctor in the treatment, cure and care of patients. Occupational therapists help in the treatment and care of disabled, paralysed and handicapped people and to enable them return to normalcy. It involves the treatment and rehabilitation of individuals with physical impairments and mental disorders. Occupational therapists help their patients to live a normal life by overcoming the effects of their disability to the largest extent possible. This covers a very wide range of activities, concerned with the physical, psychological, social and economic well being of the patients. Occupational therapists work with people of all ages and with a variety of problems, both, mental as well as physical. Together with other members of the healthcare team, they assess the problems of the patients and devise programmes of treatment to help them in regaining as much normalcy and independence as possible. For this, the patients are provided with whatever form of training or activity that would contribute to their recovery. Occupational therapists treat persons with injuries of all kinds, physical or mental disabilities, and help patients suffering from chronic conditions such as a stroke, arthritis, multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer’s and so on. Occupational therapists often have to consult the patients' doctors regarding the degree of recovery the patient is expected to achieve. While working with the physically challenged persons, they require the cooperation of physiotherapists and while working with the mentally challenged patients, they require the cooperation of psychiatrists. Thereafter, the occupational therapists plan the treatment strategy to suit individual requirements of patients, taking into account, their physical, social, economic and psychological circumstances. Occupational therapists use various methods in the treatment of their patients to assist them in maximising their potential for recovery and productive handling of their ailment. The treatment might involve physical exercises, educational and vocational activities; and play or leisure activities. The term occupational therapy refers to helping restore the patient’s functional abilities such as sensory motor, cognitive, and psychological components required to perform the tasks of daily living such as grooming, dressing, food preparation and eating, communication, and mobility, as well as work activities, including basic domestic activities and care of others. Apart from helping in the general treatment of the mentally retarded and those with physical disabilities, occupational therapists also provide assistance in the treatment of patients suffering from tuberculosis, rheumatism, blood pressure and accident victims. Rehabilitation of the patients is also done by encouraging various activities, including art, craft, music and recreation, that will help in producing the desired result. Activities like handicrafts, manual and industrial art, weaving, games and clay modelling and other activities of recreations are also encouraged. These activities assist in the strengthening of weak muscles and increase the limited range of joint action, to help coordinate movements and to train the unaffected parts of the body. You need to have cleared plus two with a background in science, to be eligible for the courses in occupational therapy.

It can be n
The medical phase, which includes the knowledge of basic medical sciences, the condition treated and the application of the theory of occupational therapy. Besides an inclination towards science, if you are looking at a career in occupational therapy you also need a sympathetic, yet objective approach towards patients, great reserves of patience, perseverance and a calm temperament and understanding of people of all ages, temperaments and backgrounds. You also require a scientific bent of mind, an ability to organise and keep schedules, accurate judgement, precision, a methodical approach, meticulous record keeping and an ability to infuse self confidence in the patients. A large number of institutions in the country offer courses in occupational therapy. The Rehabilitation Council Of India, based in New Delhi, conducts a joint entrance examination for admission to the professional courses in physiotherapy and occupational therapy. These courses are available as B.Sc. courses of three- and-a-half-year duration at the National Institute of Rehabilitation Training and Research in Cuttack and the National Institute for the Orthopaedically Handicapped in Calcutta. The joint entrance examination is held at 11 centers in the country, including Ahmedabad, Allahabad, Bhopal, Bhubaneshwar, Mumbai, Kolkata, Delhi, Guwahati, Chennai, Ranchi and Thiruvananthapuram. The Institute of Physically Handicapped, New Delhi, offers a three year Diploma course in occupational therapy, as well as a certificate course, which is of 35 weeks' duration.

Medical College in Chennai and several others. The Medical College in Nagpur and the University of Madras offer three-year degree courses in occupational therapy. Patna Medical College, Bihar, provides a two-year Diploma Course in Occupational Therapy. With the rapid spread of hospitals, dispensaries and medical centres in every nook and corner of the country and the increase in specialisations in the medical profession, the functional areas for occupational therapists have rapidly expanded. Various government hospitals and dispensaries employ occupational therapists. Public health organisations, research institutions, pharmaceutical concerns and medical institutions controlled by defence, Central and state governments also require the services of such professionals.

www.indiaedu. com/career-avenues/ career-in-occupational-therapy.html centers, psychiatric institutions, special schools, community mental health centers, residential care facilities, adult daycare programmes, sports teams etc. Many private hospitals employ occupational therapists, while other avenues include work with social work organisations, NGos, and educational institutions, specially those for children with disabilities. Therapists also help senior citizens to lead more active, independent and productive lives. They can also be attached as ergonomic consultants with industries involved in design and manufacture of equipment for use by patients, as also in the field of teaching. However, it is important to keep in mind that the work may tend to be physically strenuous and demanding, although it brings with it much satisfaction, since it involves relieving patients from pain and helping them recover from specific physical ailments. Moreover, private practice can also prove to be very lucrative. So, if you want to join the medical field, keep in mind that an MBBS is not the only option, you can consider becoming a successful occupational therapist. The writer is a noted career expert

Q. Into my second semester at a top B-school, I have zero enthusiasm and motivation to study.... just under two weeks to go for my exams but can’t seem to wait for the term to get over. The sheer quantum of the task is getting to me. No matter what I do (or don’t), I can’t manage my time judiciously. Please help.
— Ankita Bhatt A. Time management is the best thing any B-school could teach a student. According to Peter Drucker, management guru of all time: "Until we can manage time, we can manage nothing else." Here, as in life, you can’t read everything, you can’t do everything, you can’t learn everything. Hence, the trick lies in prioritising the essentials. To assign the same priority to each task is to wind up with 40 tasks all tied for first call on your time! Motivation: that's a tough — and lifelong call. Immediate and short-term motivation can usually be generated by the upcoming challenges, e.g. exams, project submissions, etc. What you have to do is "visualise" the positive outcomes of such short-term events - a higher grade, self-confidence for the next sem, building towards final placement of choice, the joy of overcoming an impending challenge, etc. If you can vividly and strongly visualize such positive outcomes, that will create the necessary episodic motivation — for the end-term exams, etc. So, that's probably the answer for what you need right now. Enduring, long-term motivation is another kettle of fish altogether. One must understand that "motivation" does not exist in a vacuum. It arises from strongly delineated long-term vision and goals. Motivation is the result of these -- not an independent entity that can be summoned at will. So, the answer to enduring motivation lies in visualizing your long term dreams (or "mission" in the parlance of business strategy) as clearly and as steadfastly as possible. Sounds easy, right? Wrong! It's one of the more difficult things in life. Take heart, for long-term motivation is a struggle for everyone; that doesn't mean it has to be abandoned; far from it. In fact, it has to be worked on and continuously. Meanwhile, get that short-term buzz going!

Q. I recently saw a documentary on installation art and feel very inspired to become a new- age artist. Can you give me some details about this art form? — Namita Pental A.
The art world has seen the emergence of new-age artists who have broken away from the white cube limitations of a gallery, the monotony of frames and liberated themselves from the age-old clutches of conventional making and viewing of art. Their tools are also unconventional, to say the least. The easel, paint brush and canvas have given way to the keyboard, mouse and monitor. For some, art means video projections while a few use bizarre materials like egg shells, feathers, sand, cloth and beads and music to create their masterpiece. Transitional art, installation art, computer art, interactive art, figurative art, video art, environment art are just some examples. Avant-garde artists are not just pushing the limits but re-defining traditional art parameters. Installation art is a genre of western contemporary art that came into prominence in the 1970s. Through the
use of sculptural materials and other media it seeks to modify the way art connoisseurs experience a
particular space. Experts say there is a great future for artists dabbling in new-age art as it provides extraordinary freedom and space to experiment with ideas. Apart from art exhibits, installation art is the next big idea for decorating exclusive showrooms, corporate house and hotel lobbies. Some well-known names in this genre are — video installation-artist Sheba Chhachhi, from Kolkata, George Martin, digital print artist, Manjunathh Kamath, Ranbir Kaleka, Vivan Sundaram and Navjot

Q. What exactly is financial engineering? What sort of careers do financial engineers pursue and what courses are available? — Mihir Datta
A.
Also known as financial mathematics, mathematical finance, and computational finance, financial engineering applies mathematical methods to resolve problems in finance. Drawing on tools from applied mathematics, computer science, statistics, and economic theory. Quantitative finance is a well-developed discipline that is gaining ground as global financial markets grow and become integrated. Investment banks, commercial banks, hedge funds, insurance companies, corporate treasuries, and regulatory agencies employ financial engineers to tackle problems like development of new financial products, valuation of derivative securities, structuring portfolios, risk management, and scenario simulation. Quantitative analysis has brought innovation, efficiency and rigor to financial markets and to the investment process. And as the pace of financial innovation accelerates, the need for highly qualified people with specific training in financial engineering continues to grow in all market environments. Financial engineers apply their skills in a broad selection of finance-related careers, including the pricing and trading of securities, financial modeling, sales, risk management and portfolio management. The skill sets acquired in a good financial mathematics program at the masters level prepare students for many interesting fields. Moreover as it is increasingly recognised in financial firms that computational and mathematical skills are critical to the success of all organisations, the market for students with financial mathematics degrees continues to broaden. There are dozens of master’s degree programmes in financial mathematics and engineering around the world. The majority of these programs are in the US, but there are programmes in Canada, UK and continental Europe, as well as nearer home, in Singapore and Hong Kong. ISB, Hyderabad, offers a six-month Financial Engineering programme to equip finance professionals (with more than 5 years of experience in the field) with sophisticated knowledge of state-of-the art financial economics and financial practice. Mathematical Sciences Foundation & ICICI Bank, Delhi (www.mathscifound.org) Offer 2 Certificate programmes for UGs and grads. Programme in Mathematical Finance — A hands-on introduction to modern finance and the role of mathematics in it. Mathematical Simulation with IT: Explores the interaction between Mathematics, Technology & Education. The classes are held at Fostiima, NDSE.
Game for managing sports
Q. I am crazy about sports and would love to run a sports management company. Please give me some tips. Do I need to get a degree in mass communication? — Ranbir Kadian
A.
No, an academic degree is not absolutely necessary, although some background in marketing, either through education or experience, should help. Managing celebrities is a well-established concept abroad. In India, it is more in vogue with film stars, but now cricketers, tennis players and golfers are also becoming savvy about their image. People who are creative, confident, self-motivated and have an eye for detail are well suited to work as event managers or PR managers for companies that organise sporting events. If you have a sports background, it would be useful. Symbiosis Institute of Health Sciences, Pune
Course: PG Diploma in Sports Mgt (1-year FT), 6 months. Indira Gandhi Institute of Physical Education & Sports Science, New Delhi offers a 1-year PG Diploma in Sports Mgt. Indian Institute of Social Welfare & Business Management (www.iiswbm.edu), Kolkata offers a 1-year postgraduate diploma course in sports mgt.
Elig: Bachelor’s degree. Alagappa University, D/o Distance Education, Karaikudi (www.alagappauniv.org), offers a PG Diploma Course in Sports Mgt through distance learning (1-year).

Resume bloopers fated for circular file
Those resume gaffes can do more than induce cringes. They can keep us from jobs that we are qualified for. Despite our best efforts, we often either don't know how to write the ever-elusive succinct rundown of our lives or we work a huge error (or several) into those summaries. Matt Salo, director of the health and human services committee of the National Governors Association, will never forget the resume he received several years ago from a recent college graduate. This person did not have much work experience, so he added a bulleted list of skills:
l
Strong work ethic Salo did not call him back, although he sometimes wishes he had called to point out that “attention to detail” was listed twice. “You really feel torn,” Salo says. “You want to call these people up and say, 'Stop sending out this resume.' But you don't. There are so many of them.” Another resume that Salo received beat the attention-to-detail guy. A woman sent her resume and cover letter without deleting someone else's editing, including such comments as “I don't think you want to say this about yourself here” and notes that pointed out grammatical and spelling errors. “Apparently she had just taken what she got back and forwarded it along,” Salo says. “Needless to say, that person wasn't hired, either.” Several readers recalled their horror stories of applying for jobs with “public’ in the title and realising after they sent out multiple resumes that they had omitted the ‘l.” I hope misery really does love company in this case, because it apparently happens often. Erin Piateski realised after she sent out her resumes this year that she had given the wrong dates for her most recent job, turning it from a month-and-a-half gig to a year-and-a-month one. If that was true, it meant she had two full-time jobs at the same time. For a year. Finally, a potential employer pointed out the error. But that company didn't offer her the job. “I really hoped this wouldn't ruin my chances of getting a job,” she says. “I don't know if that was a reason or not.” She was hired in November--after applying with a corrected resume--by an engineering firm. It's hard to hear stories like this and not think, “Well, I would never ...” You would read the resume over a million times. Perhaps get a friend or two to check it out. Of course, there's spell check. So, why do careless errors creep onto a piece of paper that is so important? Melissa Fireman thinks it has to do with being so stressed out about the job search. “I think it's nerves more than anything,” says Fireman, founder of a career management firm. “People just get nervous before they send it out.” And so job-seekers tense up, press the enter button and realise later (or not) that they sent a cover letter without the resume attached. (happens all the time, Fireman says.) Or that they forgot to include the job code, making it nearly impossible for the recruiter to figure out what they were applying for. Sometimes the mistakes job seekers make are a little more subtle. Resumes are too vague. They are written in prose form. Or resume senders get too detailed about skills and former jobs that don't matter to the one they are seeking, says Paul Villella, president and chief executive of a recruiting firm. Take your time, he says, and think about what it is you've really accomplished. If there isn't too much experience on your resume, think about what your goals are. Then write it all down. “What do I do well? What did I achieve? Those are the things most compelling and relevant for the employer,” he says. And he does not mean cringe-compelling. — LA Times-Washington Post

United Colours of Boardroom
Evaluating the presence and prominence of coloured women in the US corporate world, the list of 20 companies has been drawn up by US-based Working Mother magazine. It is primarily on the basis of diversity programmes for such employees. "... These businesses recognise that it is not just about recruitment. Many use ‘real’ inclusion programmes to actively develop, retain, and promote their multicultural employees," the magazine has said in an accompanying report. Beverages major PepsiCo is led by Chennai-born Indra Nooyi, named by Fortune magazine as one of the most powerful business people in the world, while Nagpur-born Vikram Pandit is the chief executive of banking giant Citigroup. According to the magazine, PepsiCo has about 10 per cent employees who are 'women of colour', with seven per cent of them executives/managers. "Since 2002, PepsiCo has prioritised the hiring, development and retention of women of colour in middle and senior management through its Women of Colour Multicultural Alliance, which aims to increase representation of multicultural women across the company. "All told, senior-level representation of women of colour increased nearly three per cent from 2002 to 2006," it adds. Vikram Pandit-led Citigroup has a higher representation of women of colour in its ranks, making up 22 per cent of the total employees. However, when it comes to executives or managers, there are only about four per cent of such people. Noting that nearly 28 per cent of the new hires last year at the Citigroup were women of colour, the report says the figure was up from 25 per cent in 2006. "Even better, 16 per cent of newly hired managers were multicultural women, up from 12 per cent. Recruiting efforts at historically black schools such as Howard University and partnership with groups like the National Society of Hispanic MBAs have helped boost the numbers," it points out. Other prominent names in the '2008 Working Mother Best Companies for Multicultural Women' list include Colgate- Palmolive (13 per cent), Credit Suisse (14 per cent), Deloitte (16 per cent), Ernst & Young (17 per cent), IBM (8 per cent), MetLife (14 per cent), PwC (16 per cent) and Wal Mart (20 per cent). The companies were chosen mainly on factors like representation, recruitment and retention of women of colour. However, this year the magazine says it noticed a dramatic increase in the number of women of colour who are senior managers. Also, women of colour represented 13 per cent of all new hires last year, 14 per cent of all employees, and 7 per cent of top 20 per cent earners at the winning firms. Prior to being selected to the list, the companies filled a detailed application covering a variety of questions including those related to "workforce (such as number of women of colour and women in top positions); culture (programmes for women of colour); external programmes (diversity activities); and work/life programmes (child care, elder care, time off following childbirth)." "These companies recognise that it's not just about recruitment, inclusion programmes must work to develop, retain and promote their multicultural employees as well," the magazine says.

When Shekhar suffered a bad car accident and injured his legs, he thought he would never be able to walk again. But it was the six-month treatment with an occupational therapist that restored not only some movement in his legs, but also his hope of leading a normal life again.
We all have those job-seeker cringes. Tripping into a potential boss just as she extends her hand to shake. Calling an interviewer by the wrong name. Sending a resume with the wrong telephone number.
With their employee-friendly and innovative initiatives, two American corporate giants PepsiCo and Citigroup — led by India-born chief executives have made into a list of best employers for multicultural women.
