Presence on sites like LinkedIn, being a part of various trade specific groups on Facebook, WhatsApp and other social media platforms is on a rise exponentially.

2. Differentiate between Career and Succession Planning. Discuss the state of succession planning in Indian companies with special reference to Infosys (since 2002- Mr. Murthy stepped down to 2017- Vishal Sikka’s exit) (10 Marks)
3. ‘Fly Bird’ manufactures and sells denims for men, women and kids. It is more than a century old company and has 500+ exclusive stores in the country. It has been observed for the past six months that for the stores located in Mumbai, the productivity levels of the front-line staff have gone down which has slashed the profit figures.

There have been a lot of new recruits due to rapid expansion, who haven’t undergone any training, the existing staff is overworked, and the store managers are struggling between responsibilities of contributing to opening of new stores, supervising existing staff and giving OJT for new recruits.

b. If you were the training manager, what kind of trainings would you plan for the new recruits? Make reference to Organizational, Task and Person Analysis while giving solutions.
