Today we began our first class session, which would proceed our university breakfast. The introductions were nice from the President Dr. Philip. He gave a descritption of India\u2019s economy, and an overview of what we will be learning in our courses. As a part of the introduction a student was welcome to express thoughts and expectations for the trip. I gave a small speech to thank the faculty of the XIME for setting up the program for us. We were expecting to see a very different style of teaching and practice of business in India. It is a rare opportunity for western students to see the functions of Indian business and schooling.
\nThe first lecturer we had was Mr. Selvan George, the Chairman of 5E Surpraise. He gave a fantastic lecture on Indian Management styles. He had several anecdotal examples of management an public relations in Indian companies. The situations were real life examples and very engaging. I would consider Mr. George\u2019s lecturing style better than most of the professors I have had in my college career. We had a short day for lectures today because it was our first day in India and we had arrived at 3:00 A.M earlier that morning. For the remainder of the week we would have three lectures a day. This one lecture and introduction was perfect for the first day, in that it allowed us to adjust to the time difference and our new surroundings. After taking a group photo with the President, Dean and Lecturer, we were scheduled to tour Tata BP Solar.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
