E-commerce and business management ..

This morning a student came to my room and asked me whether she could spend some time talking to me about her dissertation. As I usually take interest in students and wish them to do better, I said yes and we started discussing things. It was then that the student brought in the field of Retailing, as she had done her internship at Amazon in Bangalore.

She is an operations student and quite interested in learning.

The future is e-commerce and the future is operations ..
