Responding to the question asked by Dr. Khan on the negative impacts of globalization, the participants discussed the impact of recession in the US that is affecting the economy of other countries. They also gave examples of various industries, especially textile industry. The judge for the presentation, Mr. Asif Syed, asked the question to the students about the percentage of textile industry in India immediately after independence.
Panel Discussion
The judges shared their views with the audience during the panel discussion. A general feedback was given by each judge to the participants regarding the techniques and content of the paper presenters. The judges congratulated all the participants. However, they felt that the paper presentations should have been based on the participants’ observation and research rather than just a compilation from the data available.
Ms. Priti Parekh gave some ideas on how a good PPT should be. She said that the presenters should wear comfortable clothes while presenting a paper and should have a formal tone. Ms. Parekh also asked the students to pursue their hobbies.
Mr. Asif Syed asked the students to be cynical about whatever they read because all companies have profit motives. He warned them not to rely completely on the data available and urged them to draw original ideas from what they read.
Ms. Rekha asked the participants to be passionate about whatever they do and convinced about what they are saying. She asked them to be conscious of their environment and the audience reaction to their presentation. She also said that they should be well prepared for their presentation.
Dr. Amir Ulla Khan initiated a conversation in the panel discussion with the following questions:
- How has India seen the Global crisis?
- Why is FDI less in India compared to China?
- Are the IT firms in India highly hit due to the global financial crisis?
