RFID

IT in Business - a subject that emphasises the role and scope of IT in all kinds of businesses. Each group in class had to prepare a presentation on one of the technologies and its application in business and the approach towards implementation of these technologies. We had to concentrate more on the 'what' part than the 'how' part of the technology--the rationale is that as managers and thought leaders, its necessary to know the lingo of business and technology more than the implementation of the technology.

My group had to make a presentation on RFID - 'Radio Frequency Identification Device' which can play a great role in the Supply Chain. The benefits of RFID are cost reduction, easy tracking of items, inventory management, etc. RFID definitely is the next BIG thing in the Retail Sector. Take a look at the Presentation for more information.

My takeaways - Vatsa and I had worked majorly on this topic. Our hardwork paid off when we were applauded by one of the IBM General Managers who was judging us. We felt jittery to face a mature audience(58 classmates and 1 GM from IBM). Anyways we did a good show as we had the right content. Due credit to my senior Ranjan Rao who helped us with some very good material. Content and Ability to Handle Questions are the two most important things while making a presentation apart from Connecting to the Audience and Voice Modulation.
