Asian School of Business Management
Singapore, 18 June 2018 (Monday) – The Singapore Management University’s (SMU) Lee Kong Chian School of Business (LKCSB) is pleased to report that its MSc in Wealth Management (MWM) has been recognised for the fourth consecutive year as one of the top three finance Masters programmes in the world by the Financial Times (FT) Masters in Finance Post-experience Ranking 2018.

Logistics
The logistics sector has seen demand stabilise after the implementation of the Goods and Services Tax (GST). Majority of the companies in this sector have witnessed better performance in the second half of the year due to a shift to organised transporters. Implementation of GST and e-way bill is helping organised players attract fresh business as smaller unorganised players are facing compliance as well as regulatory cost pressures. With the sector staring at an optimistic future after these structural changes, we analysed the results and earnings outlook of the two biggest logistics companies in India: Allcargo Logistics and VRL Logistics.

With retailers declaring bankruptcy left and right, and with the oft-cited refrain of the “retail apocalypse” about as prevalent as a Kardashian tweet, it is important that the industry never lose sight of the universal truth that physical retail experiences still matter. Like good sex – good retail is still physical. It is unexpected, guttural, and sensual. No matter how hard it tries, digital will never supplant physical retail’s greatest attribute -- the shear memory and delight of being somewhere, with someone. 

Technology has infiltrated every aspect of our consumer lives, so it follows that it is also causing a major shift in manufacturing and the supply chain. From the ‘smart factory’ or ‘digital twin,’ to the ‘smart home,’ cyber-physical systems are interacting seamlessly through the Internet of Things. Accelerated digital transformation is at the heart of the crystalising fourth industrial revolution, or popularly known as Industry 4.0, and the industrial sector is poised to benefit significantly from it.
