PREFACE

―Experience is the best teacher‖ this saying had played a guiding role in training as a part of
the curricular in Master of Business Administration. Knowledge in itself is continuous process.
Getting practical knowledge is an important thing for an individual to work in a business concern. In
the competition prevailing industry a total awareness is the first and foremost thing from all
aspects. Working smarter seems to be as important as working harder and longer. Hence practical
exposure at MBA after training us certain business aspects has proved a boon for us.
