"I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it."- Charles R. Swindoll For the overall personality development, ABS places special emphasis on inculcating Life Skills. This entails honing a sterling character replete with qualities like Commitment, Hard-work, ability to Communicate, Sincerity and Team Spirit. We also conduct industry perspective building classes and encourage students to learn at least two foreign languages. This adds to their skills and increases their chance for placements. The classes on personality development stress on certain non-verbal skills like mannerism, style, dressing up, social movements, etc. The School is envisaging serveral short term job oriented training prgrammes such as

The details are as follows: Certificate Course in Retail Marketing Management Course Objective Organized retailing has witnessed significant growth in the developed economies from around the ‘60s and today it is a matured industry in many of the western markets. In India, however, organized retailing took off a couple of years back and – considering the huge population base, rising consumer spending and improving lifestyle – retailing in India is poised for tremendous growth in the years to come. While some of the early movers in the market are fast expanding their network across the country, more and more new players are joining the bandwagon considering the growth potential. Also newer and newer retailing formats are emerging. The recent government approval for FDI in the retailing sector (for single brand outlets as well as in the supply chain) and the entry of mega-retailers (domestic as well as international) – marks the next stage of growth of retail in India and makes it an exciting time to learn the subject. The course is designed to introduce the students to the world of retailing. The focus of the course is on integration of Retail Strategy with different key functions of a retail business. Who Should Attend The target customer of this course will be those who want to understand retail as a business. This will include those who want to get into retail as a career; who would get into the consumer product sector where retail is the customer; who would get into investment banking, corporate banking, consulting or any other advisory roles, equity research, private equity etc. where one needs to understand the retail business; who would be getting into the retail vertical in the IT industry where understanding retail would be required as domain knowledge. This certificate course would enable the students of MBA / PGDM to get additional skills and inputs required for rapidly growing retail business across the globe and more importantly India.
