Mangalore, March 12: The St Aloysius Institute of Management and Information Technology, MBA Division, is organizing a two-day national level management fest 'Insignia-2012' from Mar 15 at the AIMIT, Beeri campus, near here.

Announced this at a press meet here on Monday, Rev Fr Denzil Lobo, Director AIMIT, Dr Fr Oswald Mascarenhas , Chairman MBA, and Mr Shawn Pereira , Faculty Co-ordinator, said the event would be inaugurated by Vishal Hegde, Trustee, Nitte Education Trust. The valedictory ceremony would be presided by Walter D Souza, Chairman, FIEO, in the evening of March 16.

Insignia 2012 is a bold step towards a paradigm shift towards management studies and is a quest for another meaningful dimension to management studies. The theme for this year's fest is 'The Blue Oceanic Quest – A Journey beyond imagination'. In order to tackle the growing concerns of compartmentalisation, the institute is presenting a small yet effective step of integrating the various management disciplines at Insignia- 2012.

The prime objective of Insignia-2012 is to help management students to look at the blue oceans i.e. markets, products, ideas that are unexplored rather than fight for a small share in the red-competitive oceans. The key to achieve these blue oceans can only be thinking creatively, innovatively and thinking out of the box. The organizers have come up with this innovative idea of including even fashion- management institutes fort his learning –enriching experience besides MBA/PG programs in business. The registration fee per team is Rs 3000 which includes food and accommodation and to and fro transportation expenses between AIMIT and Mangalore. The performance of the participants will be evaluated by some of the industry professionals, academicians, researchers and internal teaching faculty.

The learning –extravaganza will be conducted in an environment of complete fun and freedom, in the form of seven different events. These events are: Best Chief Minister, The AIMIT village, Catastrophic Healthcare Management, Sports Management, Fashion and Entertainment, Eco Management and Personal Investment Planning.

None of these events are the traditional compartmentalised management –fast games of marketing, HR or Finance and they focus on different dimensions of business management. All these events will have multiple engrossing, compelling and engaging rounds with the increasing levels of complexity. The events will be conducted in the beautiful and vast 17 acre campus and also around the locality, adding maximum punch of practicality to them. The final round ,a complete integration one will be conducted in the college auditorium by 2.30 PM on Mar 16,2012.

The organizers will also be conducting a mega cultural evening on Mar 15 starting 6 PM. It will feature a fashion show by the participants, musical, dance, skit performance and finally a band performance by the students of At Aloysius College, MBA.
