February 14, 2016 12:00 am | Updated 09:00 am IST - Mysuru:

Five students from MYRA School of Business, Mysuru — Vidhyadhar K., Ramya Krishna, Rohit Rajkumar, Ganesh S., and Srivalli V. — have been selected to participate in a new exchange programme with Julius Maximilian University of Würzburg in Germany.

Vidhyadhar has a couple of years’ experience in analytics; Ramya is a fresh engineering graduate (E&C); Rohit has a few years experience in Electronic Banking Support Systems and has worked in Development Bank of Singapore; Ganesh comes with experience in Marketing and Client services and has worked with Amazon; and Srivalli has three years’ experience from Cognizant Technologies.

“All five students are excited about their upcoming trip, and keen to get global exposure,” according to MYRA. While Vidhyadhar wishes to understand how global markets work differently, how consumers think and buy in what is Europe’s most powerful economy, Ganesh would like to become an entrepreneur after his MBA studies, he is keen on learning the German way of conducting business, a release said.

Ramya has specifically signed up for IT-integrated courses on supply chain management, which will provide her the leading edge when applying for a job as an ERP consultant. Srivalli and Rohit hope to get global exposure, benchmark themselves against the global competition, and pick up German as a foreign language, the release added.

This exchange program has been initiated by Wolfgang Messner, professor of International Management at MYRA, in close cooperation with Hans Fehr and Ronald Bogaschewsky, professors of Business Administration at the University of Würzburg.

The release quoting Mr. Messner said: “The students will attend intensive German language classes in Würzburg. When returning to MYRA in August, they should be able to conduct a simple conversation in German. That will unquestionably give them the edge in their job placements.”

Apart from this new program, MYRA offers its business management students exchange opportunities with leading universities worldwide, including Católica Lisbon (Portugal), University of Washington Bothell, and Arizona State University (both USA).
