Air India responds to allegations of overcharging Indians in Cairo
“Air India Ltd would like to clarify that it ONLY recovered costs and NOT made any "huge profits" as alleged/propagated by some quarters. “
I find these charges totally silly. There is no way Air India will make profit if it wants to – they just don’t know what “profit” is.
This is how you misread stats or this is how ‘the glass is completely full’.
“The great Indian dream of pursuing an MBA in the US seems to be on the wane.”
and Why?Proof :
“In testing year 2005 (July 1, 2004 to June 30, 2005), when over 43,000 GMAT scores were sent to management programmes in the US by Indians, a mere 19,196 GMAT scores came from Chinese. Till 2009, India maintained its lead over China. But in testing year 2010 (July 2009-June 2010), for the first time the number of Chinese far outnumbered Indians: 80,000 to the Indians' 65,361.”
Second Argument is equally Dumb :
“In testing year 2010, over 17,000 Indians sent in their GMAT scores to Indian institutions. Meanwhile, only 1,743 GMAT scores from mainland China (and 5,184 from Hong Kong) were sent to Chinese B-schools in the same period.
While the last five years saw only a marginal increase in GMAT scores sent by Chinese in their own country (but a steady growth in those sent to the US), there has been an almost four-fold rise in the number of Indians applying to Indian management institutions—from 4,879 in 2005 to 17,087 in 2010.”
And Ergo :
“Ashok Sarathy, vice-president, GMAT Programme, feels this may have a lot to do with the emergence of high-quality management education in India.”
Do I explain it or does everyone get how stupid TOI can be?:-)
Or wait, is fall in 'logical reasoning’ ( an area tested in GMAT) the reason :-)?
One of the things that I have learned in my corporate IT life is that the employees of client company (the company that has outsourced its IT work) do not have the “one team” attitude towards employees from third party IT companies even though they are all literary working on the same team or project.
A client side line manager probably feels that since they are paying us for the job – it is totally upon us to deal with the problems we are facing in operations.This is a disastrous attitude as we are all finally running their own operations.Showing empathy to our problems instead of “your management problem” attitude will go a long way in building a strong unified and highly productive team.
