Systems Management : Basics and Career Options!

Posted by admin

The advent of liberalisation in India has seen the influx of several multinational companies setting up operations here. Several others have formed strategic alliances with their Indian partners either by way of investment or joint ventures. Successive Indian governments have lowered quota systems / trade barriers and restricted their involvement to only the core sectors of the economy while playing the role of a facilitator to the other sectors. This has quite literally resulted in a ‘free for all’ situation in the market with companies across sectors vying for their share of the ever-growing pie.
