Designing an Information System..!

The contact session of Dr. Tarun Sen for "Information Systems Design and Data Modelling" ended at a spirited note with participants of PGDSM-MIT conducting an interview and informal discussion. Dr. Sen in his lively discussion talked about myriad of topics ranging from ‘Role of an MBA in today’s world’ to ‘Globalization’ and ‘Education systems across the World’.

Dr. Sen defined MBA as a way to structure complexity. He urged the participants to make the most of this period in time by focusing on value addition. He also advised us to go for satisfying rather than high paying roles after the completion of the program. The students were very inquisitive and were keen on knowing more about the idea of pursuing entrepreneurship and starting their own ventures.

He also discussed the growing importance of globalisation and the need to understand its aspects for any business. According to him, Globalization has resulted in an even-playing field for different countries and economies around the world.

Cherished moments during his visit were the moments spent after classes in discussions, gifting an ethnic wall painting as a souvenir, sharing jokes and wisecracks over chai and a whole gamut of others.
