Greetings everyone!!
MBASkool received an astonishing number of entries for the “MBASkool Business Article Writing Contest” November 2011 edition.
Over 217 entries were received for the contest from students studying in over 35 B-Schools across India. To ensure that only genuine and original articles are published on MBASkool, over 50 articles were out-rightly rejected as they were not original and were heavily copied and/or inspired from other articles. Over 50 articles were also rejected as they lacked quality in terms of concepts, content and writing style.
Every submitted article went through a series of processes as we at MBASkool recognize originality of ideas and content, and also respect the efforts taken by students in creating their own literary work.
Each article was evaluated by industry experts on three parameters namely idea/topic, quality of the content of the article and the language & writing style.
MBASkool is happy to announce the “Winners” of the contest, “Special mention” articles and other articles which have been selected for publication on MBASkool.
WINNERS
1st PRIZE: Vijeth Pandit (FMS Delhi)
Effect on Brands by Positive and Negative Marketing campaigns
2nd PRIZE: Sangeetha K (IIM Bangalore)

SPECIAL MENTION ARTICLES
It was a massive task for the judges to decide the winners of the contest as there were other brilliant contributions which just missed the winners tag by a whisker. MBASkool recognizes these articles as “Special Mention” contributions which would be published in the forthcoming weeks.
