Market interface
Availability of information in a mouse click has transformed global consumers - Internet and telecom revolution have made customers more informed than in the past. Organizations have to offer competitive values and reasonable pricing to gain market share -they can also innovate and create a new product class based upon demand-supply equilibrium.
Apart from basic product offerings, organizations have to think for variants of same product, after sales, reach, competitor's movements, visibility and many other facets. Even after all such right combinations, success of a product depends upon consumer's ultimate choice. So, consumer psychology and market-place both are equally important.
Unless students are exposed to these practical ground realities of a market, no theoretical exposure can make them great manager. Unitedworld gives maximum importance to this practical market orientationthe market knowledge of a youngster. It's a planned process that includes various facets of learning - co-curricular as well as extra-curricular.
Industry advisory board & roundtable
Unitedworld is supported by a strong industry advisory council. Each of them is well known corporate personalities & professionals in India & abroad - stalwarts for multiple industries having experience in variable business processes. Together they create the most powerful brand-ambassador team that an Indian B-School can have.
Unitedworld organizes the 'Annual Industry Roundtable', an open brainstorming session where all our advisory board members discuss the trend of each industry and formulate an 'annual strategy' and tune the B-School activity accordingly. This market-driven strategy gives an unparallel advantage to Unitedworld students. In this unpredictable business environment, only those institutes can provide suitable career opportunities that have a strong industry linkage. Just before placement season, final year students get access to this roundtable and get updated about global developments.
