Marketing Analytics- Future of international marketing??

Over the past few days, I have observed an interesting trend in the geographical location of the people who visit this blog(Through the site meter facility). Earlier, the mix was heavily in favour of the US....my guess is ..largely inqusitive people checking it out.

Now, the world map is cluttered with hits from within india...makes perfect sense as a lot the guys from the next years batch are looking for any kind of info about ISB and are excited at the same time!!! Believe me I was no different tis time last year.

The power of such analytics tools is unbounded......watch out for more such techniques in the future. I can now design the content of this blog well suited to the majority of the readers in this time frame!!

Quick Gyan for next years batch.....Chill out during the pre-terms, Concentrate on accounts, have a lot of parties and get to know people.

Term 1 will be a tough ramp up, but the excitement will carry you through
Term 2 is a lot more fun with Marksrtat and Global economics, but even tougher than term 1
Term 3 is probably the toughest and you will be very constrained for time.
By the time you reach term 4, you already know how to crack the system or you have given up on trying to do so :)

Term 5 brings on new hope with elective subjects you may like to learn
Term 6 is when rumblings about placements start and you start working on your resume
Term 7 will be all about placements...did not learn much in this term!
Term 8 is strange time if you already have an offer and you are just happy leave unscathed, but sad to leave behind so many friends, experiences and comforts.

Just a brief snapshot of the year here, but Iam quite sure of you will have your own set of unique experiences.

Later

That was very focussed content, indeed!

Thanks for the quick snapshot of the eight terms. I'll definitely take your advice on the pre-term parties!
