How Black Swan concepts will apply
to St. Johns vision
Institution should concentrate on quality of education.
As our institution is new future planning should be well
counted but predictions should be supported by facts and not
rumors.
Students should be trained in such a way that, when they
enter industry, that should light up the name of institution
with their qualities and knowledge application skills.
Leaving apart the trends of our B schools, St.John should
make their own way towards ultimate success.

Conclusion
Black swan teaches us to be good at facing different situation
in our personal and corporate life.
Management style should be assertive and optimistic.
Should not believe in rumors of future but live for present.
Decision should be risk free but, counted and secure risk
should be involved in it.
