We perhaps had one of the ‘best’ lectures today on a course called ‘Business-Smart IT Applications’ by Dr. Lakshmi Mohan, who is a member of the Information Technology Management faculty of the School of Business, State University of New York. Before SUNY, Dr Lakshmi has taught at the Sloan School of Management, M.I.T. and the IIMC.
The central theme of this course is to understand the underlying principles and methodologies for getting value from IT investments through business-smart IT applications; and the data and organizational issues that have to be addressed for successful implementation. There would be real-world contemporary cases illustrating best practices of what works, and failures to highlight what does not work, and why, that would provide a balance of theory and practice.
In today’s class, we had a case discussion in which Dr Lakshmi touched upon a host of management principles. I am so impressed about today’s sessions, that if all the sessions of this course were to happen the way they happened today, I think this course could be renamed as ‘MBA in 18 sessions’.

Good one man.. I totally agree with you.
Hi Vinayak,
From what I read on your post, looks like we are missing something at the Singapore Campus. Wonder if we can we get Dr. Lakshmi to teach us at S P Jain, Singapore while we are here. Will try and speak to the Acad Comm.. Thanks!
