Renewable Energy & Mankind’s Future

The world is undergoing a transformation in how it gets its power. In Germany, they have a word for it: Energiewende. It means energy turning point. In this transformation, we are witnessing the decarbonization of power consumption, thanks to the large-scale deployment of renewable energy sources such as wind and solar. Besides the environmental benefits, there are huge implications for the manufacturing sector and for national competitiveness. Countries that manage to transition effectively to low- carbon generation technologies will be home to competitive energy solutions and manufacturing firms that are more resilient to energy shocks and weather disruptions. Countries in the first phase, which we call “Energiewende 1.0,” focus on promoting renewable energies, such as solar, wind, biomass, or geothermal energy. India is at this stage of its journey in becoming an energy self-sufficient nation. The Energy Club Helios aims to develop in students a keen understanding of the importance of energy sustainability and business opportunities in this sector through various activities.

Learning from Cases: A fresh perspective

The events of the recent past have shown us that the only certainty of life is uncertainty. The Novel Corona Virus has both disrupted life for many as well as thrown up opportunities that we were not sure existed a while ago.
The Case Study Club at SCMS(PG) is open to management students and a new addition to the gamut of clubs and is the only club open to the student community at large and has an overarching goal of creating managers who are great problem solvers and decision makers. These are fundamental competencies for managerial excellence.
Case analysis is an effective tool for teaching, learning, and most importantly, practising the art and science of management. The case method immerses students in real-life situations, allowing them to develop their business skills by analyzing realistic situations, applying business theories and tools, and making substantiated recommendations for a course of action. However, working with cases is a pedagogical approach that is unfamiliar to most new business students and often inadequately understood by advanced students. The club aims to address some of these issues.
Case-Studies will be sourced from the top ten Business Schools in the world which includes Harvard Business School, MIT-Sloan, Stanford University and INSEAD, France.

Entrepreneurship: Can it be taught in a class room?

As the pandemic reshapes entire industries, the need for agile entrepreneurs have never been more urgent. But traditional business education isn’t always optimized for preparing the next generation of leaders for an uncertain, rapidly changing world. At SCMS we have pioneered new teaching models designed to teach entrepreneurship more effectively by focusing on “effectuation,” or leveraging existing resources to take action.
Club Acura, the Entrepreneurship Club, has pioneered the Jade - Krishnamurthy Business Plan Competition where students are encouraged to ideate and present actionable business ideas and plans to a jury. The competition carries a prize money of INR 100000/- and is supported by industry and entrepreneurs’ from abroad.
For many entrepreneurship is the final work frontier where you test your wits against the environment and competitors. The club introduces its members to mentors who are seasoned entrepreneurs’.

Stay Hungry, Stay Strategic: The Quriosity Club

"Business model" was one of the great buzzwords of the Internet boom. A company didn't need a strategy, a special competence, or even any customers--all it needed was a web-based business model that promised wild profits in some distant, ill-defined future. Many people, investors, entrepreneurs, and executives alike--fell for the fantasy and got burned. A good business model remains essential to every successful organization, whether it's a new venture or an established player. Business models are, at heart, stories that explain how enterprises work. Like a good story, a robust business model contains precisely delineated characters, plausible motivations, and a plot that turns on an insight about value. It answers certain questions: Who is the customer? How do we make money? What underlying economic logic explains how we can deliver value to customers at an appropriate cost? Every viable organization is built on a sound business model, but a business model needs to be driven by a strategy, even though many people use the terms interchangeably. Business models describe, as a system, how the pieces of a business fit together. But they don't factor in one critical dimension of performance: competition. That's the job of strategy.
The Quriosity Club delves into business, strategy, execution and marketing.

The Future of Finance: FINTECH

Financial technology (Fintech) is used to describe new tech that seeks to improve and automate the delivery and use of financial services. At its core, fintech is utilized to help companies, business owners and consumers better manage their financial operations, processes, and lives by utilizing specialized software and algorithms that are used on computers and, increasingly, smartphones. Fintech, the word, is a combination of "financial technology".
When fintech emerged in the 21st Century, the term was initially applied to the technology employed at the back-end systems of established financial institutions. Since then, however, there has been a shift to more consumer-oriented definition. Fintech now includes different sectors and industries such as education, retail banking, fundraising and non-profit, and investment management to name a few.
The club Vriddhi allows students to explore advances in the area of Finance and Fintech which are fundamental to commerce and business.

Sports: The road to character

For a long time, sports have been viewed as a way to stay healthy and in shape, but their importance goes much further. As a matter of fact, playing sports teaches life lessons like discipline, responsibility, self-confidence, accountability, and teamwork.
From a social standpoint, sports are a powerful tool that brings people together and creates a sense of community. They develop connections that bond together people from all walks of life.
The Sports Club, Challenger also plans Boot-Camps and out-door activities for students preparing them for a world of collaboration and networking. These boot-camps are based on strategic games allowing students to develop situational leadership skills.

Yukti: The Human Resources Club: Driving Change

The Coronavirus has drastically reshaped the economy and the labour force. Since its rapid spread around the globe, we have experienced titanic shifts in how we work, where we work, and the technologies we use to stay connected. Such massive change is escalating the importance of HR’s role within organizations. Workers are turning to their managers and their HR leaders, in particular, for guidance on how to navigate their “new normal” — research indicates that 73% of workers depend on their employer for support in preparing for the future of work. We believe this is HR’s moment to lead organizations in navigating the future. They have a tremendous opportunity, and responsibility, to provide workers with guidance on the skills and capabilities they will need to be successful over the next decade as new roles continue to emerge.
Yukti the Human Resource Club plays an important role in driving HR learning through events, exercises, new paradigms in the digital age and competitions.

The Business Analyst Club: Using Data to Drive Decisions

Many organizations are investing billions of dollars in analytics with minimal return — hardly a recipe for success. Oftentimes, this disconnect stems not from faulty data science, but from an organization’s failure to consider the activation-readiness of their approaches to real-world applications of analytics. For many organizations, activation, or the art of leveraging data to do something meaningfully different in the market, is the missing piece that bridges the divide between insight and business value. While most mature organizations understand how to leverage analytics for knowledge discovery, far too few are able to consistently aim this discovery in the right direction. This results in undeniably impressive analytics that are functionally useless. The club aims to integrate domain expertise with analytics, analysis, decision making and also use of tools, like Dataiku, UIPath and Tableau, in driving problem solving methods.
