  Anshita Srivastava   MBA (2025-27)   SIBM, Noida This will give a brief introduction to what is currently on the horizon for marketing and what's coming next in marketing. Marketing has always gone through phases and changes, and with every change in technology and consumer behaviour, it has undergone an improvement. From mass media to data-driven, digital engagement, marketing has always travelled alongside and adapted to technology and the ever-changing consumer habits. The advent of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a pivotal moment, however, as it is not just an enhancement of current marketing efforts, but a re-shaping of how marketing decisions are perceived, undertaken and continually improved. It is based on a summary of recent academic research and industry studies and reports (2020-2026) including McKinsey, PwC, Bain, Gartner and World Economic Forum studies and reports, two examples of brands are included. It's important to note at the beginning that there is s...

   Dr. Vandana Ahuja   Professor & Director   SIBM, Noida A management degree provides the foundation. But what truly prepares a graduate for the future is the ability to apply knowledge, adapt to change and make informed decisions. The business environment is evolving rapidly.

As a result, tomorrow’s managers need more than functional expertise. They need analytical thinking, digital awareness, communication, creativity, empathy and strategic judgement.

Case studies, live projects, industry interactions, simulations and interdisciplinary learning can help students experience the complexity of real business decisions and understand how different functions come together to solve problems.

  Dr. Vandana Ahuja   Professor & Director   SIBM, Noida Artificial intelligence is changing how businesses operate. It can analyse vast amounts of data, automate processes, identify patterns and support faster decision-making. But as technology takes on more tasks, one question becomes increasingly important What remains uniquely human in management? The answer lies in judgement, empathy, curiosity, communication and the ability to lead people through uncertainty. At SIBM NOIDA, we believe management education must prepare students for both sides of this changing business landscape. Understanding technology is important, but so is understanding the people, behaviours and contexts in which that technology is applied. This is why contemporary management education cannot be only about learning how technology works. It must also develop the human capabilities to decide when, where and why it should be used. Because the managers of tomorrow will not simply manage technolo...
