Innovative Marketing Strategies for Emerging Markets

“… the business enterprise has only two basic functions: marketing and innovation”-Peter Drucker, the father of modern marketing.

As markets in developed world are increasingly becoming saturated, businesses are focusing on emerging markets; and provide enormous opportunities for marketers who can customize and contextualize market offerings to specific, localized needs of customers in these economically and culturally diverse regions.

Therefore, marketers have to intensify their imagination and innovations in their marketing strategies for emerging markets for understanding and serving these markets in a better way. Organizations that are innovative and adaptable to such changing global scenario, can only sustain for longer period of time.

SSIM as held a International conference on the theme “Innovative Marketing Strategies for Emerging Markets – What’s Next?” on Feb 11,12 of this year and it was a success. Sri V.R.

• Understanding the background of Emerging Markets.

• Strategies for unleashing the potential of Emerging Markets.

• Differential marketing strategies for Emerging Markets.

• Contemporary issues and challenges related to Emerging Markets.

More than 50 abstracts were received of which 32 research papers were shortlisted for presentation.

Difference between MBA and PGDM

Difference between MBA and PGDM, By Prof. N.C. Rajyalakshmi, Siva Sivani Institute of Management

Graduating? What Next ?

This is a crucial, stressful yet memorable time of our lives. A time geared towards moving out of the comfort zones of one’s home and college, and stepping into the

corporate workplace. There are many questions like what’s the right job for me? What salary can I expect? I am a fresher, how will I be treated at my new work place? Will I live up to the expectations of my new employer?

The campus recruitment process and interviews are exciting yet anxiety prone. Many a times, graduating students take up any job that comes their way and think that this is the best job there is for them. For some, salary plays a big role in accepting an offer. we need to take a deeper look at things and view this phase from a holistic perspective. We must realize that the first few years of our professional career in most cases define where we end up in life later on. Actions need to be taken accordingly.

Here are a few pointers that I think are important for any graduating student to keep in mind:

1. First and foremost identify core competencies and interests, and then decide which career path to take. Apply and take up a job in the area where you feel your competencies exist. This way, you will enjoy doing your job and be able to build your career in that area. If you enjoy your work and do it passionately, nothing can stop your growth in your chosen career.

2. Salary should not be given too much of importance in the initial years of your career.

Try and get placed in an area which excites you and where you can work with passion. The job should be one where you can learn, grow and contribute to an organization. As a new employee you should be able to wake up in the morning

and go to work excitedly irrespective of the salary. If you are able to do that, rest assured – you are on your way to a successful career, and money will follow automatically.

3. Cultivate a positive attitude on the job front and things will surely work out. I have noticed certain people get dejected when they don’t get campus placements and start doubting their capabilities and get desperate. Don’t get disheartened. Remember “when the going gets tough, the tough get going!” Not getting a

campus placement does not mean you are not capable. It only means that the interviewers did not see your profile fitting requirements for those specific job openings. Just think there are better opportunities outside waiting for you.

Going back to a personal experience, a good friend of mine, who was a very smart and sharp couldn’t crack interviews during campus placements. After a couple of months, when most people were placed and had started working, he was still jobless and couldn’t get a break. I still remember sitting with down with him over a cup of coffee at a Tiffin center when he expressed his helplessness and how de-motivated he was becoming about not getting through interviews. He said, his interviews were going great but for some reason he was not getting selected. He started doubting his capabilities. We had faith in him and believed that there were probably better things in store for him. Within a few weeks he landed a job at a large company and from then on there was no turning back. Today he is with an MNC heading a product at a national level in a very senior management position. So, not getting a job early on does not mean anything. It’s all about timing. Just keep trying with a positive attitude and things will work out- it’s just a matter of time!
