by Roopa 24 Sep '09

24 Sep '09

International School of Information Management University of Mysore, Mysore ISiM - Special Lecture Series (9) 23rd September 2009 "Changing Paradigms of Digital Marketing & Multichannel Commerce" by Mr. Ajay Malgaonkar A special lecture was organized at the International School of Information Management (ISiM), University of Mysore, Mysore on Wednesday, the 23rd of September 2009 at 10 AM. The special lecture was delivered by Mr. Ajay Malgaonkar, Group Project Manager, Infosys Technologies Limited on the topic of "Changing Paradigms of Digital Marketing & Multichannel Commerce". Special lectures are organized in ISiM with the intention of providing students an insight into cutting edge trends in the field of Information Management and also an opportunity to interact with distinguished guests. The event started with Prof.Shalini Urs, Executive Director, ISiM welcoming the speaker and the audience. She introduced the speaker to the audience and set the environment for an exciting discussion. Mr. Ajay Malgaonkar began his lecture explaining the concept of Digital Marketing and the need for it in the contemporary world. Digital Marketing, he explained is the practice of promoting products and services using digital distribution channels to reach consumers in a timely, relevant, personal and cost-effective manner. He provided examples to show how the traditional methods of marketing and reaching out to people have become redundant. He then spent some time explaining how these tools could be leveraged to build a relationship between producers and consumers, Create Brand Awareness, build brand equity and capture the public opinion. This practice predominantly uses the new age tools like Internet, mobile and other interactive channels for reaching out to the masses. On the other hand, Multi channel commerce refers to the practice of pursuing multiple means to promote or doing business. The two techniques go hand-in hand in the modern day business scenarios. It today's business scenario, it is noteworthy that all popular brands are actively employing the techniques of Digital Marketing and Multi channel communications for a better visibility and market position. He also explained how the videos, emails, websites, SMS'es, Podcasts, Banners and blogs can be used in tandem to create awareness and branding of any product. He emphasized on the current trends in customers' decision making being deeply influenced by the opinions of their peers. In such scenarios, it becomes important for the companies/brands to monitor the blogs and other social networking platforms over the internet to assess their market positioning and sentiments. Ajay's point of view about marketing was that, "Instead of TELLING A STORY, Create the TOOLS that allow a story to be told". He is of the opinion that acquisition of a customer online consists of following 6 stages namely - Discovery of the product by the consumer, Evaluation by the Consumer, Engage the customer, Interaction among various consumers, Convert the consumers interest and Advocate the consumers- The speaker then took up a case study regarding the usage of digital marketing during the 2008 US presidential elections. He explained how the blogs, email campaigns were effectively employed to promote individual candidates as brands.

by Kulkarni, Sheshagiri 23 Sep '09

23 Sep '09

Greetings from the Goethe-Institut/Max Mueller Bhavan, Bangalore! The Goethe-Institut/Max Mueller Bhavan, in collaboration with Toto Funds the Arts (TFA), is happy to invite you to a Literary Evening with award-winning German author Prof. Dr. Hans-Ulrich Treichel. The event takes the form of a Panel Discussion on Issues In Contemporary German and Indian Literatures. Dr. Treichel will interact with stalwarts from the Indian literary scene in what is expected to be a lively and stimulating discussion. Event: Panel Discussion: Issues In Contemporary German and Indian Literatures Date: September 29, 2009 Time: 6.30 p.m. Venue: Goethe-Institut/Max Mueller Bhavan, Bangalore Free Entry. All are welcome! The Panelists include: Dr. Hans-Ulrich Treichel, Professor at the German Literature Institute, Leipzig; Prof. A R Venkatachalapathy, Professor, Madras Institute of Development Studies, Chennai; Dr. Vanamala Vishwanatha, Former Professor, Dept. of English, Bangalore University; Mr. Arul Mani, Reader in the English Department at St. Joseph's College, Bangalore More details at the Bhavan (2520 5305/6/7/8) or visit our website: www.goethe.de/bangalore Dr. Hans-Ulrich Treichel: Dr. Hans-Ulrich Treichel was born in Versmold, Westphalia, Germany in 1952. He now lives in Berlin and Leipzig. He was a student of German studies at the Free University of Berlin and obtained his doctoral degree on Wolfgang Koeppen. Since 1995 he is professor at the German Literature Institute, Leipzig. Hans-Ulrich Treichel has quickly developed a literary reputation in Germany for writing which has been lauded as readable, humorous and yet challenging. He enjoyed huge popular and critical success with the publication of his first major prose work, Der Verlorene (translated into English as Lost), in 1998. This work is a poignant re-working of an experience through which Treichel's own family went towards the end of the Second World War. This familial struggle with the past forms the core of Der Verlorene in particular, but his subsequent novels, Menschenflug [ A Man's Flight, 2005] and Anatolin (2008) also tackle this theme. Dr. Treichel has published widely on German literature of the modern period. Among many other awards he has received the Hermann Hesse Prize (2005) and Eichendorff Prize (2006). We look forward to welcoming you at the Bhavan on September 29th at 6.30p.m. Best regards, Sheshagiri Kulkarni Librarian Goethe-Institut/Max Mueller Bhavan 716 CMH Road Indiranagar 1st Stage Bangalore 560 038 Ph: +91 80 2520 5305/06/07/08-206 Fax: +91 80 2520 5309 kulkarni(a)bangalore.goethe.org www.goethe.de/bangalore www.goethe.de/india -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
