STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

It is after great deal of self-evaluation I have decided to pursue MSc in Operations,Project and Supply Chain Management at Manchester Business School. This decisionfollowed naturally after carefully considering my aptitude, interest, nature of Training

and work experience I possess and my ultimate professional ambition. By choosing tostudy at Manchester Business School I want to be a part of the top ten Business andManagement school. As a Statement of purpose of my graduate study, I describe here myacademic background, interests and career goals.

Operations Research is one such discipline of applying advanced analytical methods tohelp make better decisions. It is characterized by its broad applicability and by a widevariety of career opportunities and work styles it embraces. It is also characterized by itsinterdisciplinary nature. Ford used Operations Research for optimizing prototype vehicletesting which saved the company $250 million. IBM used it for matching Supply chaindemand at IBM Microelectronics. Thus it is evident that knowledge of operations

analysis can be applied to any industry ranging from automobiles, to manufacturing andto management of logistics. I wish to pursue a Masters degree in Operations Researchand Management, as I believe it is a program that will build on my skills in Technology,Mathematics and Computer Science.

From early childhood till today, most remarkable characteristics have been my curiosityto learn new topics. I have keen interest for learning new ideas which enabled me toacquire significant knowledge on various aspects of Management and Technology.Degree in Engineering(Electronics & Communication) has given me a strong foundationto develop my Analytical, Mathematical and Management skills, sundry platform to newlearning made me an achiever in each and every aspect of life, whether it be academic or

non- academic. This motivates me and creates a desire to build a strong foundation for acareer in Operations and Research.

The Part Time work I did in an Education providing company Triniti Centre for learningas the role of Business Development Manager (BDM) realizes the role and challengesfaced by a manager. There I worked for four months, in which my responsibilities includeorganizing and conducting seminars, marketing and publicizing of courses and clientbuilding with the colleges. By working as a manager before having management degreeraise my aspirations for career in management.

Being an Executive and Representative in every kind of techno-cultural event and fests,

realized my potential of having leadership qualities and which got substantiated when Iwas selected as an Executive Member and Head of college Technical club E-buzz, inwhich my responsibilities include interacting with people, taking sponsorships, givingnewspaper advertisements and overall management and this in turn develop my overall

personality as a leader and team player. Since then I have been enthralled by the rolethat Management plays in any organization or Industry.
