The third two-day Commerce Fest ARENA, organized by the Department of
Commerce of St. Xavier's College, is all set to take off on 6th
December, 2007, in the College Campus. Arena 2007-2008 has as its
central theme, "What you do is what defines you." The main purpose
of the fest is to inculcate a spirit of teamwork, enthusiasm and
competition amongst Commerce students in order to prepare them to
face the dynamic corporate environment.
The first competition will be the NUMERO UNO. In today's fast paced,
aggressive corporate world, every company vies to be the best in its
field. However, to succeed in business, one needs intelligence and a
good personality to back it up. Hence, this event is a test of the
participants' skills to achieve success. Numero Uno goes along the
lines of the CAT examination. WIZARD OF ADS gives the participants a
platform to showcase their skills in the field of
advertising. Creativity and innovative thinking are the prime
requirements for success. In NOUVELLE AVENTURE participants have to
conceptualize, present and convince a panel of venture capitalists
about an innovative business idea for a product or a serivce that
wuold be economically and practically viable.
BRAIN DRAIN is a straight forward even testing knowledge on various
commerce related aspects ranging from general knowledge to CEO to
mergers. It consists of two round, an initial eliminatory written
round followed by a three tiered finale. NEWSPAPER puts the
participants in the drivers' seat allowing them to construct an ideal
newspaper of their choice keeping in mind current events, good taste
and strong commercial skills. PRINT AD tests the participants'
capability to market a product and to make a favourable and lasting
impression on the judge. MODEL MAKING is a competition based on the
Boston Consultancy Group Matrix. The main aim of this event is to
conceptualize the given theory. COAT OF ARMS is an event which
provides a platform for demonstrating the requirements for success
through the designing of a logo. A logo is a form of communication
and companies are often recognized more by their logo, than by their
name. STOCK SHOCK is based on the traditional trading scenario of
the stock market. This provides an opportunity t o the participants
to prove themselves in share trading.
The overall winners of ARENA 2006-2007, last year were St. Aloysius
College, Mangalore. The College wishes to expose students to higher
levels of competition and help them realize what is expected of their
performance in relation to modern day trade commerce. This indeed
can be the foundation for students to scale greater heights in future.
