The Marketing Analytics (MKA) course is a newly introduced course in the area of Marketing. This year (2023-24), I shared this course with Dr.Mitra. The course introduces the student to various models, tools, and analytical tools in diverse areas of marketing, such as Pricing, Retail, Customer Analytics, and the like.
- The course assumes a problem-solving approach, in addition to exposing the student to relevant theories, including the statistics. Naturally, there remains a felt need for implementation of the marketing models that are discussed. To this end, more than 50% of the sessions are held in a computer laboratory, where students are exposed to actual problem solving, most typically when faculty runs SPSS and along with this student also get an exposure to learn this tool.
- When it comes to implementation of the tools, we assign team projects that aims to solve a practical problem in the realm of marketing analytics. This is an innovative component aimed at enhancing problem solving skills of students. A number of cases solved in the class supplemented by a project of this nature is expected to give the student a more comprehensive understanding of the subject matter as compared to conventional approaches that remain confined to texts.
The Marketing of Services (MOS) course is an elective we teach in term 4 in the area of Marketing. As a part of the course, I ask the students to prepare (really, they prepare in the class and there is always a great learning when they do it) a service blueprint and after working on the same project they need to submit for evaluation. This is something different I do in my MOS sessions.

There is plethora of initiatives that were taken up to create an innovative and inclusive class-room environment. Some of them are listed below:
- Virtual Exchange Program for Cross Cultural Exposure: Under the guidance of Prof. Dr. Atmanand, Director MDI Murshidabad, the students of Human Resources Management at MDI Murshidabad had the opportunity to participate in a Virtual Student Exchange Program with the students of Human Resources at Santa Fe College in Gainesville, Florida, USA. The program was directed by Dr. Rimjhim Banerjee Batist of Santa Fe College and Dr. Yogitta Abichandani of MDI Murshidabad. The program started in 2022 & will continue in 2023. This initiative focuses on the design and implementation of a work-integrated learning quality framework that will not only model good practice but will ensure that the most effective learning possible will be achieved through WIL.
- Theatre as a pedagogical tool: Predominantly used in the Organization Behaviour class to dwell upon personalities, emotions and attitudes, peer learning plays a key role. Using theatre as an experiential tool used specifically in the classroom to engage and bring about reflective thinking on a topic. It is blended with theatre forms and techniques to engage the student cognitively and emotionally and thereby bring about greater involvement with the learning process. As a learning-by-doing art form it lends itself to greater retention of the concepts and provides a larger perspective of the concept in a wholesome learning environment.
- Building ethical and moral identity of students: Ethics is two things: First, ethics refers to well-based standards of right and wrong that prescribe what humans ought to do, usually in terms of rights, obligations, benefits to society, fairness, or specific virtues. Ethical standards also include those that enjoin virtues of honesty, compassion, and loyalty. And, ethical standards include standards relating to rights, such as the right to life, the right to freedom from injury, and the right to privacy.
Such standards are adequate standards of ethics because they are supported by consistent and well-founded reasons. Secondly, ethics refers to the study and development of one’s ethical standards. As mentioned above, feelings, laws, and social norms can deviate from what is ethical. So, it is necessary to constantly examine one’s standards to ensure that they are reasonable and well-founded. Ethics also means, then, the continuous effort of studying our own moral beliefs and our moral conduct, and striving to ensure that we, and the institutions we help to shape, live up to standards that are reasonable and solidly-based. Based on both these thoughts, ethical development of students through the assigned coursework PGPM program is done. Ethics for writing assignments, collaborative team work, are practiced and finally practiced through case studies in the Business ethics Class. Business ethics deals with the affirmative moral obligations of the employer towards employees to maintain equality and equity justice. Areas of ethics in HRM include safety in the workplace, respect, fairness, privacy, basic human rights, justifiable treatment of employees, and honestly based processes in the workplace. This is thoroughly discussed in detail and practiced through role plays and case studies.

The Strategic Management (SM I & II) is the capstone course for developing an understanding of the Strategic Management and its application in corporate environment. Strategic Management is an interesting course to teach because the problems and issues of strategic management cover the whole spectrum of business, including finance, marketing, management, management information systems, production operations, economics, and statistics. Strategic management is an emerging and rapidly developing discipline. Weighing the pros and cons of alternative strategies entails a total enterprise perspective and a talent for judging how all relevant factors fit together. This is quite a contrast to other required and elective courses, which are generally concerned with a narrower, more specialized body of knowledge. Although the features of strategic management pose an instructional challenge, there is plenty of opportunity to make the study of strategic management the best course in the business curriculum. Strategic Management I covers the formulation part of the strategy such as crafting vision, mission statement, external and internal environment analysis, types of strategies etc. Strategic Management II deals with implementation part of strategy and evaluation and control mechanism.
The teaching pedagogy used in the course is a mix of Lectures, Text, Articles, Cases and Project. The students have to develop the experiential and practical learning, by doing the strategic analysis of the company of own choice as part of SM I course. The SM II course provide an opportunity to develop a case study on the company of own choice. The teaching pedagogies ensure the equal opportunities and attainment of course learning outcomes.

Dr Suddhachit Mitra is a Fellow of the Institute of Rural Management Anand [IRMA Anand]. His research interests lie in the area of the Diffusion of Innovation theory, and the Bass Model of diffusion of new products. In a broader sense he is interested in Consumer Behavior, Marketing Models and Analytics, Rural Marketing, Social Marketing, and the Philosophy of Sciences. Besides winning Best Paper awards and research grants, he has published in Scopus-indexed and ABDC journals, as well as management cases with reputed publishers.
He has taught courses such as Marketing Planning, Marketing Practice and Implementation, Rural Marketing & Management, Product Management, Brand Management, Marketing Analytics, and Advertising Management.
The Marketing Analytics (MKA) course is a newly introduced course in the area of Marketing. This year (2023-24) the course is being taught by two instructors: Prof Biranchi Narayan Swar and Dr Suddhachit Mitra. The course introduces the student to various models, tools, and analytical tools in diverse areas of marketing, such as Pricing, Retail, Customer Analytics, and the like.
- The course assumes a problem-solving approach, in addition to exposing the student to relevant theories, including the mathematics. Naturally, there remains a felt need for implementation of the models that are discussed. To this end, some classes are held in a computer laboratory, where students are exposed to actual problem solving, most typically, when faculty runs R code-snippets on his machine which is projected onto a screen visible to students. Students are encouraged to try out the coding exercises on their own machines.
- Each group in the class is given a project that aims to solve a practical problem in the realm of marketing analytics. This is an innovative component aimed at enhancing problem solving skills of students. A number of cases solved in the class supplemented by a project of this nature is expected to give the student a more comprehensive understanding of the subject matter as compared to conventional way of learning.
Besides winning Best Paper awards and research grants, he has published in Scopus-indexed and ABDC journals, as well as management cases with reputed publishers.

She has authored various national and international publications in the ABDC, ABS, Scopus, EBSCO, ProQuest, ESCI, J-Gate, UGC-CARE, and ICI Indexed journals. She has also published a book on Customer Experience Management. Dr. Shivani has presented many papers at reputable national and international conferences and attended faculty development programs organized by the Birla Institute of Management Technology, Greater Noida, and University Business School, Panjab University, Chandigarh.
She teaches the core and elective courses in Marketing Area.
My teaching pedagogy involved a mix of traditional lectures, modern teaching methodologies, new-age technologies, and applied practice. I structure my classes to achieve the course outcomes with a detailed plan, lectures, case studies, live projects, demonstrations, and cooperative learning to engage students and support their learning. I foster critical thinking and application skills in the teaching of marketing electives.
Application of ZMET in Consumer Behaviour
The live project Application of ZMET in consumer behaviour based on Zaltman Metaphor Elicitation Technique (ZMET) developed by Gerald Zaltman is designed for post graduation students to impart knowledge about the consumers unconscious behaviour. The project has been run through five phases. In every phase, the students have been instructed to perform on certain parameters like the selection of brands, collection of images, understanding of the ZMET technique, and application of the ZMET in real-world products or services.
Technology Integration in Teaching
I always prefer to utilize technology for enhancing instructions, inculcating online resources, and interactive activities that enhance students’ engagement and retention. The use of online teaching platforms like Moodle and Zoom promotes interactive learning and structured evaluation. Communicating and supervising students in continuous course activities, quizzes, cases, assignments, and projects in offline/online settings ensures academic excellence and practical orientation. These technologies help me to monitor students’ progress and provide individual feedback resulting in improved student behaviour and achievement.
Research-based Learning Practices
To offer diversity and depth of courses, I facilitate research-oriented assignments and course of independent study in the marketing discipline. An understanding of contemporary issues in marketing and consumer behaviour enhances students’ employability in a real-world business environment.
