Learning Statement – Finance:
Ever since the Indian economy underwent a series of reforms in 1991, there have been progressive developments in banking, finance, industry, investment climate, income, employment and legal environment. In spite of the financial meltdown witnessed in the last two years, India has still been able to manage a decent growth rate.
The current situation in the corporate world demands that managers focus on wealth maximization for shareholders and value creation on a consistent basis without compromising on maintaining high standards of corporate governance and transparency in disclosure norms. What matters to the corporate manager is the efficient and effective use of the vital resource called money. The success of any business can be attributed, among other things, to the manner in which it manages its finances.
The finance specialization at ALLIANCE is designed to develop value creators.

Learning Statement – Marketing:
The primary purpose of the study of marketing is to understand how this critical and pervasive function engineers the acquisition and retention of customers.
Without solvent customers in some reasonable proportion, there is no business. And these customers are constantly presented with varied options to help them solve their problems. The surviving, thriving business is one that constantly seeks better ways to help people solve their problems – functionally better, valued better and available better. To create this “betterness” requires knowing what customers think this attribute to be. This precedes all else in business.
Students trained in marketing can provide critical inputs in areas such as markets, competitors, and portfolios of operating technologies. The field of marketing is a valuable preparation for many types of management careers, including consulting, entrepreneurial management, line management, and for those who have future interests in starting their own business.
