From being turned down by LUMS to being a judge at Strategic Business Management Round 2, I feel compelled to share that success comes with skillful perseverance and hard work and not just by learning some tools. LES has invited me to judge this event which aims to test and develop participants’ analytical, decision-making and critical thinking skills. It urges them to devise and apply strategies to various situations arising in Business Management. Participants will be provided with a case study relating to a supply chain management issue (warehousing, transportation, inventory, etc.). They will have to solve the case study in the allotted time and present to the judges. Top teams selected in first round will be competing in this round.

Pro Tip:
Ever considered how Al-Fateh never runs out of your favourite shampoo and those chocolates you like? Supply-chain is a fundamental function of most businesses and is a complex process involving navigating problems of transportation routes and costs, warehousing and inventory management. We will teach you how to deal with such problems among others. Moreover you will learn how companies decide what products to launch and the research and decisions that are involved in this, something that is relevant for all companies! After all, if Apple hadn’t decided to launch the iPhone how different would our lives be today? If you are attending or plan to attend similar/same event in near future, I strongly invite you to go through Supply Chain Analytics.
