Cricket is just another metaphor for life. .Despite the game’s immense popularity in the subcontinent, very few actually ponder over aspects of the game that can turn out to be invaluable management lessons. THE FINISHING SCHOOL of DMS organized a cricket match for MBA students on December 10th, 2021. The game was played between MBA seniors and MBA juniors. Both teams fought hard against each other. The MBA Juniors’ victory brought the event to a happy conclusion. The match generated positive energy among both the players and the spectators.
The primary goal of organizing the event was to teach the life lessons to students. The key takeaway is the implementation of the principles of management from the playground to the workplace.
