Is it compulsory for an mba student to watch news channelMba students r usually asked to watch news channel related to business..ndtv,cnbc,cnn-ibn are som of the channels which show business related news..
how does this helps an mba student in his growth..

[shah0k]

Yes, it helps to remain in touch with current business scenerio.......
cannot live without it .....

[melroy88]

A management student has know everything that happens around.Specially with regards to business.We can learn from them,all the articles that we study and evaluate and also put in our projects can come from news.
But if not news than atleast read the paper,i feel reading the news paper is much better than watching the news.It increases your reading speed and also helps in grasping things easily.
New>>>No issues...Very useful.

I think it is not compulsory but it is necesary for an MBA student to watch news channnel and other informative channel. as MBA is all about keeping youself updated with what is happening around specially in business world.These channels and business magazine are the medium through which you can keep youself updated.If you are aware of the things properly then you can use that awarness for the growth of your business.
Updated MBA student can bring good Metamorphosis rather then a normal student...That's why i think it is a necessary part for an MBA student....

[gaurav200x]

The thin is between just an MBA student and a good MBA student. To make an effective manager, one needs to keep abreast with the latest happenings around the globe, and be tuned to all the necessary information.

News channels give a complete coverage on global news, financial news, stock markets, and there are many documentaries on various, social, economic and geopolitical affairs.

Hence, watching news channels is very much needed and its not just news channels, but also newspapers and magazines.

[sachin singh]

of course it is necessary not only it help to know the current business trend but it also help to understand the book concept in a better way.

[ninu_29]

An MBA graduate is a business person. News chaanel helps them to keep update themselves like what is happening in corporate world. Like merger and acquisition. it also helps them to know why these things are happening, what are the motives behind that, so it helps to understand the business strategy of these business giant

[manilavijay]

Well i think it is very essential for an MBA student to be aware of all the happenings around be it business or anything else.But if i was to choose b/w watching a news channel and reading a good magazine or a newspaper i would rather choose the second one as very often the news channels do fail in covering at least 70% of the happenings around the world.It becomes the responsibility of each and every MBA student to gather all these business related information that will not only help him/her excel in whatever he/she does but also develop him/her as a responsible individual. And for this the management educational institutions in india must mould their students in such a manner that they will become or will the country's Most Brilliant Assets!

:typing:

[meds09]

A manager is to manage things in light of various controllable and uncontrollable forces. Hence its extremely vital for him to know of all the uncontrollable factors so that he can b PROACTIVE rather than REACTIVE.

I was never personally fond of news channels however now things have transformed greatly . Its hard for me to gulp my day without browsing those breaking news.

However, the hindi news channels are smthng I prefer to maintain a distance with .( No offences meant)

:SugarwareZ-098:

[sudarshanmaheshwari]

yup u can get to know whts going around u and u also learn many new things on it

[rahul_valam]

it is necessary to watch news channel but not compulsoy for mba student. but as u r student of mba u have to intouch with latest information about what happeninig inthe world by any how. this is depend on u which form u select to stay in touch with world. News channel is one form of getting latest.

[kartik]

Its like asking a person if he requires food to stay healthy.
News for an mba student is food for thought. And not just mba student, every corporate needs to know global news to keep abreast with the industry.

[satya2007]

yes definitely..............
the reasons r
1.u come to know about consumer behavior
2.get expose to lot of ads
3.might improve ur creativity.
4.increases ur entreprenurial skill

[orchidaks]

according to me mba students need to apply their managerial skills.....more practically... dat is da reason why they have so many case-studies..wathching news related to business will not only keep them updated but also helps in tackling case-studies...the more they expose to business related topics the better and deep is the knowledge they get. so i believe every mba student must watch news channel

[vbmedhekar]

yes ! i think that mba students must watch a news, they must know the current issues going in the business world. Instead of watching those stupid movies they must spend their spare time in watching the news channels like CNBC World, CNBC awaaz, IBN 7 etc... It'll really help them practically....

[ROHAN KACHALIA]

Ofcourse its necessary to view the news channel, forget MBAs, even other professionals have to keep abreast with the day to day ongoings within the nation and globally too. Any news whether at that time relevant or no will make its presence 1 day and that will be the most happiest day of our life.
So viewing news channel or for tht matter ne information makes a person breathe smoothly rather than having breathing problems.

[hafizhasan]

is it s very important for an mba to go through news channels..if not he / she should atleast be updated wit latest happenings coz knowin tht in fact really helps one to think in terms of problem solving......

[sagarshines2]

yes it is absolutely necessary to remain up to date the current affairs of the world

[samar]

Compulsion is the wrong word to use.

Should be "Necessary".

If not from the angle of increasing one's knowledge base at least
from the interview point of view, one should watch the Channels.

[surbhimodi]

its not a compulsion in my point of view. but ya it surely adds to ur knowledge, especially the talks, the gd's that happen, the interviews of business people, actual pictures of the event.
i think it makes the topic more interesting and more presentable to know when u see in news channel than in newspapers.

[doshi.sagar]

Is it compulsory for an mba student to watch news channelMba students r usually asked to watch news channel related to business..ndtv,cnbc,cnn-ibn are som of the channels which show business related news..
how does this helps an mba student in his growth..

Yes, it helps to remain in touch with current business scenerio.......
and by that they can decide d future scenario....by analysing d past and present scenario...so..its very much necessary to be touch with business scenario...

[HEART BREAK KID]

well well... i wanna ask u one question.... it is good for a cricket(any player for dat matter football, hockey, boxing) to watch mostly cricket related stuff eg like rivals match, other tournaments...
2 reasons
1 it helps him to know more abt the game apart from wht he plays usually
2 he's really interested in it n wants it 24/7 (dats da game)

the same logic can b applied here.... MBA means an all-rounder smart-ass...
dats y u gotta hav knowledge abt all wht any other normal person may know and b able to atleast understand and speak on the topic.

[dipti1786]

yes...watching news is a routine task of MBA students..we need to keep ourself updated with wats goin on in the real corporate world...but the first preference shd always be given to reading newspapers as it acts like a two edged sworld....knowledge is gained as well as it enhances our reading skills

[ankitgokani]

exactly until n unless u r not well versed with d daily updates u wont be able to solve any issues in u life or probably in d company u working in so its very much necessary to keep urself updated .........

its said in gujju language tht MBA means " MANE BADHU AWDE"
this means tht : " I KNOW EVERYTHING" :SugarwareZ-191:

[gross]

yes..........its surely necessary to carry on recent funda becoz entering corporate world with old knowledge is just like entering any highly technical war with any old/traditional weapon.........

[Neel Jani]

I want to ask 1 question.

I dont really read Newspapers or watch NEWS.

Now, for a newbie like me how can i start watching NEWS when i have absolute no knowledge of it. Its not worth sitting in front of the set and understanding nothing.

I m confused as to where to start from??

Help me out frnds

[shlshgaikwad]

thats partially right.watching those also will help it will give changing trends of mindsets of masses which will be used in proper artification of business thoughts. there might be significant number of mgmt professionals who might not be watching these things but they might be reading business news on a regular basis and might be successful persons.

Eventually to stay ahead of the crowd, You do have to keep track of the news...Cause anyways what ur learning in class For Eg. A topic like mergers and acqui .... can be seen in the news with vijay mallya having his co. tieups...

Thnx buddy, i ll try to fill up those gaps!!:bigsmile:

[rahul_parab2006]

MBA students should be aware of all general knowledge, current affairs and business news...... and for that it is necessary to watch news channels, to read newspapers & magazines, etc............

It helps a lot while doing projects and off course b4 d admission also....... in Personal Interview and Group Discussion, they might ask u any question related to current affairs and biz news..... to answer, u must know all things related to it........ So it is very necessary t owatch news channels esp cnbc, ndtv profit, bbc world, etc. ...............

[zphod]

its always useful to be in touch with the happenings around you and news chaneels are one of those ways. but still I feel that not all the chaneels are worth watching...its up to oneself to decide what to watch .

Nilesh.

[deepakraam]

It is always better to stay in touch with News channels.Spending 5 mins b4 a news channel will help the students to know what the issue is all about.Probably after getting an idea,they can read articles on several sources to know about the issue.Besides that watching pgms like "Big Fight" can help students to get a feel of GD.


-Deepak.

[vikram arora]

yes it helps to b in tch with the latest happenings in the field of finance ,and economy as a whole

[arun2789]

See, You can put it this way around. Business Management is the kind of field where lot of what happens to you revolves around decisions. Decisions and more decisions. For all the decisions, moves and strategizing that you do, you need to have a solid information base. You cannot just decide on something because, you think its the "right" way. You have to have solid statistics. You MUST know your numbers.

For this, its important to be informed. That's the basic objective. Stay in touch with info.Know what's happening around you. Know what's baking at the hour and of course, form your own opinions on them. Its not just enough if you take everything in. You should be able to build opinions and get judgemental where required. The best source to stay in touch with info, all through has been That could be from News channels, live feeds across the internet or any other source. Stay informed. That's the bottom line. If you think something else serves the purpose better than news services. Go for it.

All the best.
SA

[shippu_thebest]

it is definitely necessary. Not only for MBA student but for everyone because it increases knowledge.

[hash872004ster]

hey dude your project is awsome... it helped me a lot...

[yourspooji]

its nt compulsory to watch these news channel...bt these are mediums to keep one updated with the current affairs and its necessary in order to stand different from the crowds...

[vaishu_futureceo]

yeah defintely! now it would be 4 his own good cuz once he becomes a CEO or any other top official in the Co. he would always be on his toes. So its very imp not only for an MBA but even a common man to know what's happening in & around him. & its not limited 2 only watching news channels but obviously reading the pprs as well.

[sandeep kaundinya]

i agree with all the members view that an mba student should aware about the scenario of business environment.because it is the world in which he has to live and has to work.
he follows the same kind of culture as shown in these news channels.
these news channels link the mba student with the practicle prepsoition of business.In the present scenario where there is so much cut throat competition in order to survive it is important to watch these news channels.
i also want to suggest that gd's organised in the newschannels like cnbc,ndtv etc.helps students to prepare themselves to give good presentations.which is a must in the present corporate world.
with these movie channels students should also go for magazines like 4p's,business world,business economy,business today etc.
thanks
sandeep kaundinya

[indranisc]

My view is that it is not compulsory but yes definitely it has its own value as you will always be abreast with the current happening in the world or around you.
If you can inculcate this habit nothing like it.

Indrani

[neha85]

it is important.........we get to knw the profile of the companies i.e hw r they doin in the market, bout mergers and aquisitions etc. papers too give imformations but they r monotonous compared to tv............so guys though v dont like but v cant deny is importance........wat u say?

[rejoice_success]

More than a compulsion its a via media to be updated to the current affairs. Though we can also gather that news from other via medias as well.. But the point is we should be able to judge from all of it what is important for us to watch, read and remember.. Because now a days the media exaggerates and distorts the news which becomes irrelevant for us to know.. (in this case am not talking about the business news channels).. And apart from critcizing i just want to suggest that we all should be able to predict rightly what will be the further impact and the consequences of the news published on everything- ne it either Market, our lives, Country, company, Globally!!! What say??

[amar_gm549]

May b not but if can keep himself updated thru newspapers or websites dats gud enuf...............................

[ankitgokani]

welll well wat an intresting question man i was in the same dilemna

i will tell u 1 thing imagine a situation where u are in a meeting or a corporate party where every1 are discussing the hottest or some imp news and u are aloof u will feel bored and if u cant speak u will feel dull so

its not an compulsion to watch if they watch they can themselves grow and achieve great heights

[sima]

surely it must for mba to stay tune with everything happening around the world....it not only enhances your knowledge but also helps to take better business decisions as u are well aware of what is the present market scenario.
It also increases the chance of finding a better job.

[dhwani28]

it is neccesary for an mba student to be in touch with the latest happenings, if its not a news channel then through newspapers and magazines...

[shah0k]

it helps in discussion and only thru such discussion one can groom onself, so watching TV channels are very imp.

[suneet14]

Yes...its very necessary as watching news channels keeps you update about alll the current affairs and the things around us.It even helps us to enhance our knowledge as well.....

[DRISHYA]

Any person... be a student or a manager or a sole propreitor...etc.. if we want to b part of this corporate world n stock market n all such things.. den news is a must.

[pahuja.chirag]

no, its nothing like compulsory. in fact in student life outside home, its not usual that someone is having tv................................................ .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. .......

[laxmitank]

in my opinion it is necessary to watch news channel or u can surf the net for information /news everyday.

[Ajenth_rocks]

Def yes.... else u will develop a void between urself and the current scenario......

[manthan_479]

News channel are gud for MBA student...but news channel like AAJ TAk n Star news etc are complete no no.....to be more specific watch news channel which give some real news like debates conducted on NDTV or IBN 7 or for dat matter even doordarshan is not bad..............

[jaadomagicguy]

hello everybody- I prefer mba students not to watch news channel . News channels are not customized .Coz u dont need to waste ur time in waiting for the news u r interested in. So its better u try out some magazines , journals and our only friend internet . surf all the day it ll help u a lot

[samar]

If not for improving grades at least to impress the Interviewers
whether your knowledge, suggest watch news channels.

[shriram2shri]

yes it is compulsory for mba student to watch news channel he/she can update day to day happenings in the socity

[puja2008]

ya reading newspaper is very essential for an mba student,because without it we cant upadate ourselves what is happening and what will b going to happen in the scenario.as a mba sudent should be an all rounder so for becoming all rounder knowledge is needed which can be easily accesed through newspapers,this can also be done through tv news channels but newspaper enhances our reading skills also.

[Jonna]

nt necessary 2 watch jus news channels u cn evn opt for newspapers......

its vry crucial for an management student to well aware of d current scenario n trends in business....or else hw r u going 2 manage a business organisation wid out knowing d current happenings.....its only thru d media dat u gt 2 b aware of d recent happenings....as per d current issues evn u need 2 change ur strategies....or else ur techniqus will become obsolete n no more u n ur organiasation will b able 2 survive ^_^
:SugarwareZ-071:

[chokshi_dwarkesh]

I think this question is meaningless because the answer is definitely YES. THe news channels particularly only on the focus of business channels such as Z-business, CNBC networks channel ,NDTV 247. THese are the channels which are broadcasting the famous personality interviews, debates sessions, market scenario presentation and lecture, cont' market touch available and helpfull for MBAs.

[justnice]

I watch CNBC & CNN regularly for updates

[satyavr]

Though its not necessary that an mba student watch news regularly.. it is expected atleast that he knows the current events in his field of expertise. After all management is all about continuous improvement. With out knowing the current activities and trends in the country or world it would not be possible to come up with successful strategies or change which is in line with the world ...

[friends_ranchi]

i think it is necessary to watch news becoz its, matter

[pranav.parikh@yahoo.com]

yes of course . . .it is good for a person related to the management field to watch the news channel and keep himself informed about various things going around . . .which can affect or flourish his/her business . . .

[mitz_mitali]

ofcourse it is necessary for mba students to watch news channels and be updated on current affairs.

[arnie9999]

Yes its necessary to remain aware by watching news. News chaanel keeps updating themselves about what is happening in business world

[kotler]

under all circumstances current affairs is a no-brainer

[khushi465]

yes even i think that a MBA student must watch news channel as he must have up-to-date knowledge about everything that is going on in the world.

[amitaccha]

[umeshgupta_143]

yes its necessary for an mba student to watch news channel as he has to be aware of what is going around the world not only in financial world but also on social front..

[Bani_2cs]

Watching news is important in anyways but specialy for pepole in any business. its all related.

[Aditi Goel]

A management student must know everything that happens around so it is really very important to have an updated knowledge.

[nandish]

News chaanel helps them to keep update themselves like what is happening in corporate world

[mangy420]

not compulsary but it is neccesary to keep a tab on the current affairs

[n.anand.pillai@gmail.com]

A management student has to know everything that happens around the world...that shud be economy,business,politics,etc...we need to read diff business mazazines...news papers...

[CITYBOY]

yaa/ it is complusary for mba to view the news channel

[username123]

it can never be compulsory. just go to google news of some relevant news update

[CITYBOY]

no. bro useraname. it is very much compulsory / that keep pdaing you

[laxman]

not only news channels but also v must have habit of reading newspaper..so that v can have knowledge about current business scenario..

[luvanish1]

it is not compulsory. but it is really useful as we can have an idea bout the current affairs

[junatawar]

no not at all i believe just keeping up to date is important. which can be from anything be it pers, tv , internet etc

[shanesindh]

yeah it is quite important to know all situation .

[sindhut86@gmail.com]

its not mandatory that you watch only a news channel to keep urself updated with the things around you...all an mba grad need to do is to keep himself/herself abreast with all the latest things runing around them..the sources through which a person get informed are many like news channels,newspapers,radio etc....on the whole be alert with the things running around u that may be news business related latest inventions or nything the source can be nything but the motive is that an mba grad always need to be keep himself/herself tuned with the world.

[diksha14]

yeeeeeeeeeeeeeesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss sssssssssssssssss

[p.pretika]

watching newschannels enhances ur knowlege and especially provides lots of exposure to perspectives of different players in the market and their stratergies

[Pawas Misra]

I think news channel are the major source of information clutter these days and more of entertainment medium

[kediaamit11]

Yes it is important for a management student to be updated whats going on around the Business World. News is the best option and reading newspaper can also be another option for the latest update.

[cozyshri23]

as a mba professional it is a must; as a mba student it is just better practiced beforehand than starting late during working hours...

[amogh_manjavkar]

Yes, it helps to remain in touch with current business scenerio.......
cannot live without it .....

Is watcing the ews also imp for marketing news...am talking abt CNBC and the league....

[rhea.jain]

[akhila acharya]

yes its compulsory.It keeps him updated with the latest going around in the world. It enhances the knowledge and gives confidence to speak in group discussions.

[pankaj.vispute]

I believe, knowing the news is really not necessary whether you are doing an MBA or not. I think it's a normal living skill that you need to know what's going on around you. As far as question is concerned I will say it's not mandatory- however it will help to keep your general knowledge up-to-date.

[Kuldeep Singh]

Well it is absolutely necessary to be updated about the recent happenings specially in recent times...
But the tendency to have a knowledge about every topic on earth can be disastrous as it is not possible..so waht I suggest is to have focus on the field you are interested in like HR, Finance etc and keep tab of recent happenings in that domain with handy in depth analysis of some hot topics (like Lehman Bankruptcy).

yes especially in the light of this financial crisis...it has become ever so important to be in touch with the latest news even for any tom,dick and harry..
more so for an MBA who has to be on his toes all the time...

i think its mandatory for all the mba students to watch news channels.so that they can keep themself updated wid al d hapenings arnd d world.one can talk wid confident while stng in a group with confidence...sometimes v dnt gt dt much time to read d newspaper thoroughly so if u go thru news channel it ads a lot 2 ur existing knowledge.

The most important thing for any MBA grad is to keep himself abreast of the things happening around him in this so-called business world...be it reading news....watching news....or listening news....doesnt make ny diff as his prime response is to build an information database in his mind...so if wanna be an mba grad..... be informed....so watch,read,listen do nything but be informed about whazz happening round u....

i really don't think that it is a necessity for an MBA to watch news and be updated through television . Well television is one of the mode to get information and keep oneself updated , but business newspapers and magazines are one of the best mode of information and it also helps a person to imbibe a good habit of reading , which is of utmost important.Other than that , i think most of the Mba's have laptops and even if there are real good business programes , they can watch through Youtube.

i guess wit all the facilities like net and ET coming to door steps it is not necessary for a MBA grad to watch news channel...
but then wait a minute...he/she will miss out on the debates and real time emotions of the interviews!!!
but i guess if i take a stand i will say it is really not necessary...

According to me student of MBA has to learn in three fields during this course. they are 1)Personality2)Academics 3)General Awareness. So its not a question of whether to watch news or not but question is how much ur aware of any situation. we can information from Newspaper and periodicals too.

i think n mba student shud not only watch news channels but also read papers.

[sunitabhatonline]

yes it is.. as we are the future leaders.. we should know each and every thing which happens in market and word.. according to me we should up to date..

[morningbreeze]

yes its compulsory to watch the news channel for being updated daily & to enhance the knowledge.. for a finance or marketing student ..current info regarding sensex & market position we get from the news any time

[angels_smile]

i dont think its only important for an MBA student to watch such news channel but for everyone ..and it gets inculccated in us at some point in life..whether we do MBA or not ...as we get into business it becomes to our importance how our company is doind our industry is doind and as all the factors going in an economy affect the industry we have to have an insight of whats happening in the dynamic business environment...so its not only important for MBA its for each and everyone whose in the business...

[khaitansaket]
