In business, like in every other aspect of
life there are so my acronyms that it begins to get hard to keep track of what
each acronym stands for. Acronyms can
come from anywhere; you use them all the time in conversations with friends
TTYL, LOL, and LMAO. In business there are many different acronyms as well such
as; GDP, PPP, GNI, and the list can go on! But the one I will be focusing on is
one that it is important to Humber and marketing students in Ontario.
OCMC which stands for Ontario College’s
Marketing Competition, OCMC consist of various competition formats such as quiz
bowl where competitors are asked various marketing definitions. As well as a
case analysis exists where each competitor looks at a case and tries to define
the problem and come up with various solutions to that problem. It seems to me
that not too many people outside of the marketing world, are aware of how much
of a big deal it is to be apart of or compete in OCMC. Just picture all the
best marketing students in Ontario competing with each other.
For business it’s a perfect opportunity to
pick out the next Steve Jobs or the next person to have that million-dollar
idea. It is important for OCMC to continue and to get the message across of how
important it is for students to try out and participate in OCMC.
It is also an enjoyable experience to
compete with other great marketing students! It takes a lot of hard work and
dedication to both the team as well as to yourself, to put in the effort and
long hours of reading, preparing as well as practising to become a great OCMC
competitior.
I am looking forward to the OCMC, I will be
competing in the case study analysis for retail I hope everyone will wish me
luck as I prepare for the challenges a head!
