Ahmedabad University celebrates annual Management Fest, Concourse 2020

February 2, 2020: Everyone, in different aspects of their life, need management skills be it personal or professional. While managing groceries at home or solving major business problems, these skills allow us to look at problems differently and find an appropriate solution. Management fests such as ‘Concourse’ provides a platform for individuals to meet others and explore organisational competencies within oneself. These skills can help students in professional markets, operate a business or run their own company. This year, the theme decided was ‘Disruption’. The fest comprised many events related to management activities that we need to perform in daily life, such as Business Quiz, Mockstock, Case Analysis and Business Plan, followed by social and cultural events such as Ad-Mad, Selfie and dance competition.
